A prominent example that just popped up is his reversal of George W. Bush's ban on international aid to charities that either perform or provide information on abortions. As the bipartisan bickering began in regards to his executive decision on the reversal, Obama had this to say to Republican leaders: "I won. I'm the President." Fuck yeah. That is how you do it. Obama said that he is prepared to force the bill through without consensus from Republicans in the House of Representatives. I won. I'm the President. What a definitive retort.
With another metaphorical middle finger hoisted in the air towards the Republicans, Obama said that "you can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh to get things done." What a badass! He is not afraid of a little confrontation, a little "Fuck you Rush Limbaugh" here, a little tax cut to the poor there. He acted to close Guantanamo Prison on his first day in office! Forget uniting the country. Obama has already begun to show that he is fully prepared to shun the right-wing, biblically misinformed interests of the Republicans and send the United States of America.com on the path towards actually becoming a dignified world power.
And he smokes. What a badass.
