AMAZING

Wanna know the true test of a person's knowledge and political perspective?

Have them talk about Obama, his accomplishments, his abilities in the face of unprecedented obstruction, and if they agree then you are talking to someone with perspective.

If they dont you are talking to someone who either hasn't been around long or is just too lazy to pay attention or worse, has some predisposed issue with Obama (gee, wonder what that could be).

A black president, a president running for reelection coming out in support of marriage equality, some sort of dialogue with Iran, and now visiting Cuba. While not perfect, the last seven years have been pretty damn good.
