Five years ago, Barack Obama stepped onto a stage in Springfield, Illinois, and said he was running for president. Here’s a look at what’s happened since (includes Tumblr hearts).

Is it just me or is it ridiculous when people claim Obama only is rejecting the permit for Keystone XL in order to maintain the environmentalists’ votes? Clearly, Big Oil has a stronger arm in Obama’s election. Plus, even if Obama allowed KXL, all the environmentalists would grudgingly vote for him, knowing the environment stands less of a chance with any of the Republican candidates in office.
If you’re thinking of voting Republican because you’re pissed at Obama, remember the words of Stephen Colbert in the voting booth.

Read it yourself. It’s happening.

TEXT OF A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
TO THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
AND THE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE OF THE SENATEOctober 14, 2011
Joseph Kony’s days are numbered. Though our troops are not there to engage the enemy, let’s hope they can point the right people in the right direction safely and not have another Mogadishu, Somalia incident.
Wow, it’s awesome that Obama has sent troops to Uganda against Joseph Kony. I was just thinking about the Invisible Children Lobby Days I was a part of a few years ago. Thanks Obama for taking a stand against the longest running war in Africa.
