I do not give our President enough credit, you guys. And it's his anniversary as our President today! It was kind of a big deal to me a year ago, and it's kind of a big deal to me now.  Thus I give you:

Sexiest POTUS moments of the past year*

It has been a sexy year. IMHO.

• 1/23/09 POTUS ends the "Mexico City Rule" (frees women's health, HIV/AIDS research)
• 3/9/09 Stem cell research is de-politicized: restrictions on funding removed
• 4/5/09 POTUS outlines a nuclear-arms-free global future
• 5/19/09 Environmentalism becomes major focus as strict auto emissions policies are announced
• 6/17/09 POTUS announces the extension of health care benefits to partners of gay federal workers 
• 6/27/09 Historic climate change bill, in part requiring power companies to produce 15% of power from wind/solar energy, is passed by Congress
• 7/21/09 Campaign for health care reform is launched
• 8/9/09 Sotomayor, first Hispanic and third female Judge, is sworn in

• 9/8/09 POTUS makes education a national responsibility and addresses America's students
• 10/13/09 The SFC passes a healthcare reform bill
• 10/30/09 HIV-positive visitors no longer banned from the US
• 11/8/09 The House passes a healthcare reform bill
• 12/24/09 The Senate passes a healthcare reform bill
• 1/14/10 POTUS orders $100M aid to Haiti

That is a LOT OF SEXY for a single year.  This year x4 = Obama presidency which inevitably = awesome.

This has been my political post of the year.
