President Barack Obama openly weeping as he talks to his campaign volunteers [x]

HE’S SO PROUD OF THOSE KIDS AND HE LOVES ‘EM SO MUCH

I CAN’T

Tags barack obama campaign volunteers I wasn't going to reblog this but now I am because I actually had tears in my eyes watching that video and I hope he does really REALLY well in the coming four years and that the Republicans get their heads out of their asses and govern this country WITH the Democrats instead of throwing everybody under the bus out of petty spite and male white douchery so those are my political thoughts for the day back to fandom posts

“The president has not signed one new free-trade agreement in the past four years. I will reverse that failure.”

- Mitt Romney

But Mitt Romney “will not let [his] campaign be dictated by fact-checkers.”

oh my god I thought the last one was a JOKE, jfc

THE LAST ONE IS NOT A JOKE. REPEAT THE LAST ONE IS NOT A JOKE. PLEASE DEAR GOD STOP ROMNEY FROM BEING PRESIDENT.

Yeah, just to clarify: no part of #9 is a joke. All those things sound like gross exaggerations that would be unfair, horrible things to say about a person were they not true. Unfortunately, every single one of them is.

Actually, I’d like to clarify something about #9.

The man who was assaulted was attacked by Mitt and a few of Mitt’s friends, yes, but he was not gay. That’s what makes it worse. He was NOT gay, but Mitt and his friends suspected he was gay simply because he came to school with what can only be described as an 80s-appropriate hairstyle. Because his bangs were longer than the hair at the back of his head, they decided it was a clear indication that he was a homosexual and they sought to “fix” that by forcibly cutting his hair. The man, however, was not gay and due to the bullying he received from Mitt, Mitt’s friends, and several people in the aftermath of what Mitt and his friends did, the man committed suicide.

I would also like to note that this occurred while Mitt Romney was in college.

It wasn’t elementary school, when you could at least blame parents and school faculty for not intervening. It wasn’t even during high school, when you’re expected to be completely immature and there’s still enough accountability to assign to parents and teachers that chose not to intervene. It was during college. They were all adults and they behaved that way toward someone they suspected could be gay because of their chosen style of hair.

When Mitt was confronted with the fact that the man went on to kill himself as a result of having no self-esteem or self-worth after having been so cruelly taunted, bullied, and assaulted, he brushed the subject off and said, “kids will be kids.” Except you weren’t a child, you weren’t even a teenager. You were an adult and you went unpunished for your criminal assault of another human being, and that person is now dead because of the things you and your friends drilled into his head. Negative infinity points for Romney.

I am not yet old enough to vote but please please please if you are 18, register and vote. It does matter. I sound like those MTV campaigns but I don’t care. VOTE. No really, seriously. V O T E. 

WTF it is true:   http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mitt-romneys-prep-school-classmates-recall-pranks-but-also-troubling-incidents/2012/05/10/gIQA3WOKFU_story.html?hpid=z2

mitt romney. literally. caused somebody’s death.directly.

Oh and how about that time during college when Mitt “elaborate prankster” Romney dressed up in a State Trooper uniform, put a red flashing light on the roof of his white Rambler and pulled over drivers on the road. For fun. <x>

This was the single funniest thing I have ever seen a president do.

I’M STILL LAUGHING.

I will never not reblog this.

It is impossible to overstate the coolness of our President.

Despite all the things that have not worked during his administration — despite assorted failures and other crap — he remains our last, best hope for the next four years.

LET’S KEEP HIM AROUND.
