Yes, it’s President Obama’s birthday today.

- Fourth, he paved new, unprecedented strides on the issue of LGBT Equality, bringing our country forward to one where no one has to face discrimination for their sexual preference or identity.
- Finally, he stood up to Republicans, who have gone absolutely nuts ever since his inauguration. Even though they have worked to functionally grind government to a halt and put up roadblocks wherever they could, he still managed to lead the country positively.
Here’s to another year with President Obama in the White House!
