Happy birthday, Mr. President!

Today, August 4, 2010, is President Barack Obama's 49th birthday. I want to use this space today to wish him a very happy birthday -- and many more.

While I am disappointed that the first year and a half of his presidency has not produced as much progressive change as many of us were hoping for, President Obama remains a symbol of what a regular person can achieve in this country, regardless of his race or his name, if he works hard enough for it.

The tea party bigots seem to hate that fact. But I remain inspired.
