This is my long goodbye to the best President of my lifetime. I know he will not be far away, yet no longer in office. No matter, he will always be my President. Always. If he and his family weathered eight years of hatred then I will do my best to weather the next four. He gave me hope and I won't let him down by giving up.
This rendition of America the Beautiful is inspiring as are the images. We are a beautiful diverse Country and they WILL not take that away from us. I posted this vid a few years ago, it serves us well for our day of thanksgiving that we are not all that thankful for right now. Yesterday was hard for me, I had a quick brunch with my sister. The nurses had to work so we could not get together as a family. We will be together tomorrow, which is good, yet a hard day to be alone.

Hope it is okay. I will continue to post a thank you and a goodbye to Barack Hussein Obama here if that is okay. BOG isn't around much, the hate dwindled as he is leaving office, we did not need it anymore. Not to many are calling him POSUCS anymore. I will never forgive the admins for letting that stand.
So, I will share him with you here.
Best to you all, I miss so many voices here.

(6,409 posts)It was fun when all they had to do was call him names and make up shit to complain about. Now their white knight (pun intended) has to make America great again, and he obviously has little idea of how to go about it. Shoe is on the other foot, I guess.

(26,275 posts)You are right, sheshe, that there are too many voices missing here. Too many don't want to hear truth, and work to silence the voices.

(3,441 posts)... in anticipation of missing President Obama for the rest of my life. He and Michelle were the best. My 6yo self had high hopes for President Kennedy but that dream was crushed.
I can hardly speak of the atrocity that is headed for the Oval Office now, and hope with every fiber of my being that something stands in the way of it.
This song is beautiful... very poignant. Tears welling up.... Thank you, my friend.

I will never ever EVER call the POS who was declared the winner on 08 Nov 2016 my President.

(1,499 posts)all of our President's executive orders;
he can eliminate every one of his executive agency regulations;
he can scuttle every unratified treaty;
and Congress can repeal the ACA and every other one of our President's legislative accomplishments;
BUT
In 400 years he will NEVER change, he will never erase, he will never silence the person I've seen every morning I've looked in the mirror since November 5, 2008.
