Here's the photostream.
Think about all of the things that President Obama has accomplished so far - ending torture, closing Guantanamo, setting the end to the Iraq War, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Kennedy Service Bill, the Lilly Ledbetter Act, tightened ethics rules, reinvigorating our foreign policy, and far more.
More than anything, Americans now feel that the country is on the right track, the first time in half a decade. America is on the road to not only economic recovery, but a recovery of spirit. America is on the upswing again!
