Thank you for loving us. Thank you for making our life better. Some treated you so cruelly. I am so sorry for that. You, your family lead this Country with dignity and grace. You are the best President in my lifetime. Thank you.
I know you are tired and it is time for you to go.
I want you to go as much as I want you to stay.

(87,193 posts)I will miss him, yet sure as hell he will not leave us. He cares to much about this Country that others said he did not love. Obama was the one that built us up, saved us from a great depression.
Great man.

Thank you, sheshe.

(87,193 posts)He probably thinks he should have done more.
However when 3/4 of the house and senate are gop racist, sexist, bigoted pigs that is all you can expect.

Peace.

(87,193 posts)This picture showed so much love. It also showed how hard they have worked.
They will be back with us soon after they depart the WH. That is who they are, George.
They are for us and we are Stronger Together.

Well done, Barack and Michelle, well done.
We will not see their like again any time soon.

(10,018 posts)He is so much less of a man, less of a human being than President Obama. The incoming "first lady" cannot hold a candle to Michelle Obama.

(10,295 posts)family and I, too, wish (with all my heart) that they could be in office forever. They are the best we've had in my lifetime, and I started voting in 1968. Jimmy and Roselyn Carter were on par with the Obamas, but they were laughed out of office by the up & coming Reaganauts.
Tx again for your post and the beautiful picture of our best President and his spouse.
