There goes a great man.

That's all I can think about watching President Obama's last press conference.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. If anybody is around to read history in 50 years, the stark contrast between this great

man and is even greater spouse to the Trump's will be almost unbelievable for students of that day.

2. It sucks

Dignity, grace, class, compassion, brains, and a wonderful sense of humor. All of the things we will no longer have in the White House.


Peace

3. deep sorrow

What an amazing human being.

11. God gave us one final chance in 2008, just like he gave us an earlier chance in

1860. I don't think God gives three chances. We are royally and totally fucked.

4. I was still hoping

he would come out today and say he's not leaving!

Deep deep denial.

[bdamomma]

5. oh I wish I was able to watch

maybe after I get out of work.

I would be just shaking my head what did he say two steps forward and one back? it may be more than that with what's coming in.

President Obama will always be number 1 with me. Cool calm and a great orator, cared about us and the country and was wonderful to other countries, was friends with other leaders accept pootie he put him in his place, for 8 years I was resting easy not so much now.

Going to miss him.

[KingCharlemagne]

10. He bascially explained the box Israel is painting itself into with its

settlement policies in about 2 minutes flat. (Israel is going to become a single apartheid state with a possibly majority Arab population who are second-class citizens or 'residents'.) That was a positively brilliant two minutes.

6. Pres Obama is setting up a

fabulous contrast. Just wait till anus-for-mouth is up there trying to act all adult-like.

This is beyond surreal.

[Sissyk]

7. Indeed!

He will be deeply missed.

[KingCharlemagne]

8. He and his scandal-free legacy will be sorely missed. This press conference

was, simply put, a tour-de-force.

[herding cats]

9. His intelligence and caring are shining though, as always.

The world will miss him.
