Yes We Did

Having gone to YouTube to watch Rowan Atkinson's wonderful performance at the opening ceremony of the Olympics, I stayed and browsed through some of my favorites, e.g., The Spanish Inquisition. Among my favorites was a music video, Yes We Can, featuring a 2008 campaign speech by candidate Obama and singing by some of his supporters. The video got me thinking about the accomplishments of the past three and a half years. 

Yes we did: 

 End don't ask don't tell 

Help save two of the big three auto companies

Preserve the jobs of teachers, fire fighters, police officers

Move towards health care for all

Support movement towards democracy in North African nations

Create protections for ourselves and our neighbors in our dealings with financial institutions

That's not too shabby.

Yes we did!
