http://www.dailykostv.com/w/002235/A man of great charisma who is a symbol of the American Dream of overcoming prejudices and becoming successful. A symbol of hope to people around the world who still live in oppression and look up to the US as a place of freedom, because if they wore blue jeans, or t-shirts, or listened to rock music or disagreed, they might be beaten and tortured or killed. A man who would prefer to talk through our differences and find a peaceful way, if he can, but who will pull out a can of whoopass when necessary, rhetorical or otherwise.
He has accomplished nothing? He got this seemingly white-trash, bigoted nation lead by the Texas warmonger to elect him president. He brought hopeful messages to a nation being crippled by a failing economy and a war that has gone on far too long, an aptly named "depression." And like the examples sited by Rachel Maddow, he is a step in the right direction. Not always immediately successful, but inspiring millions of others.
How can we not be proud of that?
