An Amazing Week!


Last week was an amazing week for President Obama despite FOXified Republican pundits’ and 2016 Republican presidential candidates’ manufactured hallucinations that President Obama accomplished nothing.

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare subsidies were legal!

A 5-4, Supreme Court ruling struck down state laws that forbid marriage between same-sex couples!

Congress approved the Trade Agreement which 1) helps serve as a counterweight to the economic might of China; 2) gives the President a “fast-track” power to push ahead on a Pacific and Africa trade deals, and 3) provides aid for workers who lose their jobs as a result of trade!

On a more somber note, President Obama gave one of his most critically acclaimed speeches  along with a moving rendition of Amazing Grace as he eulogized the Rev Clementa Pinckney who was murdered along with eight others in Charleston, South Carolina.
