Take 8 minutes and reminisce about this kind and gentle man and his wonderful wife. The contrast between the previous First Family and the current one could not be more stark.
Oh, but how I miss these two

(15,553 posts)Reminds me of how much we had and how much we've now lost. They were a wonderful family and were loved by so many people. Their smiles were so real and sincere. I am an old lady who is afraid we'll never see the likes of them again in the White House.
You could never find two more opposite families occupying the People's House.
I hope they know how much we loved them, admired them, appreciated them for what they did for America and our image around the world. I also hope that some day the rest of the world will forgive us for this awful person(s) that took their place.

(11,686 posts)I want our 1st family back. You would never ever see Beelzebub doing that. Yeah, he might do it but it would never be true about it and just be a very fake look at me. Obama and his family are full of love, caring, and being very true. I want them back.

(4,443 posts)and family for 8 years. We miss them more than words can say. What we have in the White House now is nothing short of shameful. Most embarrassing for the majority of Americans and the world.

(2,123 posts)The children who were old enough to remember touching and being touched by the President and First Lady will carry those memories for the rest of their lives. It's hard to think of a greater gift these two people could have bestowed on those young citizens.

I still cannot wrap my head around how HRC lost to Trump, that evil man.
