What was the purpose of posting that link? I watched all three vids in the series, the first 2 minutes out of 3 1/2 minutes was music and clapping, the last 1 1/2 minutes was Obama saying thank you, thank you. The next was a full minute of him saying "thank you thank you".
Is this the basis for refreshment?
Here is the whole thing:

Just out of curiousity, what has he done to 'deserve it'?
Quite honestly, Obama has done a lot, look at his history.
Obviously being the wife of a president gives Hillary a lot of visibility and she was a household name before her campaign even started.
You could also ask the question, what has Hillary done?
We all know her name, but what has she done?
She's spent a lot of time in Washington, but has she accomplished anything?

I find it so funny the way Americans use the term 'liberal' as a term of abuse.
I like this, from the WW:
Santos: It's true. Republicans have tried to turn liberal into a bad word. Well, liberals ended slavery in this country.
Vinick: A Republican President ended slavery.
Santos: Yes, a liberal Republican; what happened to them, Senator? They got run out of your party! What did liberals do that was so offensive to the Republican Party? I'll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.

Originally posted by murrowJust one quick point, Richard Nixon established the EPA, Mr Santos seems to have forgotten that point. Well he is dead(Santos that is, God Bless his lil pointed head) so I won't speak any ill about him.
no-one likes the quote?
:'(
I have to chuckle at the government programs that Santos thought were such accomplishments .... some of the biggest government 'welfare/handout' programs ever created

I'm also curious - which of these programs do you disapprove of?
