After the midterms in November, I like most democrats/liberals were very down on our party for not stepping up and getting their agenda through. It took a bit of hindsight and a republican ass whipping over the last two weeks but I think Barack Obama is back.

Him and the Democrats have had one hell of a month, the only thing the Repukes got was tax cuts for the wealthy and the Estate Tax adjusted in favor of the rich, otherwise December belonged to Democrats. Don't Ask Don't Tell repealed, First Responder's Bill that somehow despite all their drum beating after 9/11 repukes found reason to bitch about that despite it being a no brainer and the Start Treaty, all done this month.

Look back though over the last two years and really this President and the administration has gotten a lot done including healthcare which is a bill that I have said since it was passed is not perfect, but is a start toward something more later, they saved GM which is now publicly traded again and back on its feet thanks to the LOAN Obama gave them which will be paid back in full via the stock options provided to our government, if GM had gone down imagine where we'd be right now? Obama doesn't get enough credit for that.

Student loan reform, credit card and finance reform all these things have been done over the past two years. So the critics on the left need to quite down. Sure things may get a little more difficult when the new faces in congress and the senate show up in January but secretly I think Obama is looking forward to the challenge.

I, like many democrats can start calling him our president again after the many Christmas presents he delivered this month.
