We haven’t had a leader, a decent human being, a grown man in The White House since the day Barack Obama’s term was over.

[hlthe2b]

1. I dare any DUer to read that with dry eyes...

Gawd, how could we have gone from President Obama to.....

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. I thought I could

I got this far in:

Person after person received an engulfing hug from our commander in chief. He’d say, “Tell me about your son. . . . Tell me about your daughter,” and then hold pictures of the lost beloved as their parents described favorite foods, television shows, and the sound of their laughter.

[Silver Gaia]

17. Tears... OMG... I miss him so...

I am grateful to have lived through his presidency. To have gone from such grace as this to the vulgarity we have now is obscene.

[Scarsdale]

33. We went from CLASS to crass.

The gop treated President Obama very poorly, disrespectfully. They treat the orange fatass in office now as though he is a real human being. He has NO redeeming human qualities. He is a very fat, empty shell.

[D_Master81]

2. I've heard this before

it sickens me what the right tried to do to Pres. Obama. They created a monster that people I know truly believed he was doing everything he could to ruin this country and prop up his huge ego (funny cause they now love DJT). Even if you didnt agree w/ Obama's policies, how was it that they created this madman hell-bent on destroying our country. Even if you didnt like his policies, he had to seem like a good guy.

DJT has multiple affairs w/ porn stars, playboy bunnies and possibly hookers while he is newly married, has well over a dozen women come forward against him, and by God, the Lord has placed him here by divine right to save this land. I just dont get it.

[IluvPitties]

7. DJT is a piece of shit because he has no regard for others.

Bill Clinton was a womanizer. So was JFK and many others. However, most of them understood that they had a supreme duty to fulfill to the American people, and did their best to respect the office and the people they served. They were flawed, like all humans are.

DJT is a treasonous pig with no sense of responsibility for anyone but his own ass. A bad person indeed who likes to hurt people and that will do whatever it takes to take advantage of any situation. The man had no humility or sense of public service... and 40% of America loves the bastard.

11. It is called the prosperity Bible

Certain religious groups + churches teach this. The more money you make, the more God has blessed you. It doesn't matter if you are a serial killer to these sects. If God has blessed you with great wealth you are allowed to do anything you want because you are blessed by God. You literally can do no wrong. These leaders will bring in babies for you to rape and murder, as you are blessed by God, it is your divine right to do this, you carry the word of God you are held to no moral code. Or they give you a "mulligan"

[Fred Sanders]

23. Foxxx is run by monsters, who hire monsters to deflect from the fact they are monsters.

Funny how Foxxx and their shit dear leader and NRA run from first amendment rights, while coldly screaming about the second.

" International comparisons help highlight how exceptional the United States is: In a nation where the right to bear arms is cherished by much of the population, gun homicides are a significant public health concern. For men 15 to 29, they are the third-leading cause of death, after accidents and suicides. In other high-income countries, gun homicides are unusual events. The Paris attacks in November 2015 killed 130 people, which is nearly as many as die from gun homicides in all of France in a typical year. But even if France had a mass shooting as deadly as the Paris attacks every month, its annual rate of gun homicide death would be lower than that in the United States.hil

[virgogal]

31. I think guns are the problem---what did Obama do about them?

It's been almost 19 years since Columbine and NOTHING has been done about guns by any president since that time.

Not one damned thing.

[spanone]

3. K&R...

[IluvPitties]

4. We didn't deserve him as president.

Look at how many Americans have chosen to defend a treasonous piece of shit- the same who disrespected and berated Obama for being black.

[Leghorn21]

5. from your link, Lilly...thank you

Person after person received an engulfing hug from our commander in chief. He’d say, “Tell me about your son. . . . Tell me about your daughter,” and then hold pictures of the lost beloved as their parents described favorite foods, television shows, and the sound of their laughter. For the younger siblings of those who had passed away—many of them two, three, or four years old, too young to understand it all—the president would grab them and toss them, laughing, up into the air, and then hand them a box of White House M&M’s, which were always kept close at hand. In each room, I saw his eyes water, but he did not break.

[Guilded Lilly]

8. I broke just reading that. What an exceptional soul our Obama has.

[ProudLib72]

6. That's how a president is supposed to act

[nadine_mn]

9. Thank you for this...I was searching for an account

Of this story because I remembered it when it happened

Obviously beyond Cheetos ability but just speaks volumes on the difference between the two men

[peggysue2]

10. Don't think there was ever a question . . .

at how deeply President Obama was affected by Sandy Hook, how moved and later how angry when he spoke to the issue of the Congress's failure on the question of gun control. I'd read that Obama himself said that day was one of the hardest days of his presidency. But he handled the day and aftermath with dignity and grace and love.

What a difference to the Trumpster giving a thumbs up at the hospital, and then blaming the FBI for negligence.

The Donald was illegitimate from Day 1.

[NastyRiffraff]

12. It's easy to picture President Obama doing that

It's impossible to picture Trump doing anything close. I miss the Obamas so much, for many reasons. But foremost is because they have hearts. They're as beautiful inside as they are outside.

[jaxind]

14. Do you remember...

Do you remember that on that day, President Obama was supposed to come out at a certain time to make a speech after meeting with the families? But he did not come out at the designated time that he was supposed to because he was still grieving with the families. He needed more time with them...the allotted time was not enough. Such a treasure he is!!

[forgotmylogin]

15. "President's Dovetotoinial, 2018..."

"Arrive at hospital. Take picture with random staff. Big smile and thumbs up! PROFIT."

"There has never been a leader so dovotoioniated as Trump! BIGLY."

[world wide wally]

16. And that is the difference between good and evil

[3catwoman3]

18. I have read this account before, more than once, and it is...

...deeply moving every time.

Trump could no more do this than he could walk a tightrope across Niagara Falls.

[Hamlette]

19. I can't stand that Trump is incapable of this and his voters think that's a good thing. nt

[Richard D]

20. Oh man . . .

Tears. Lots of them. We lost so much good and gained so much evil and stupidity now.

[Rorey]

21. President Obama carried our pain as his own.

And now we have a vile person who does smiling photo ops at the hospital with some of the survivors. I wish his damned thumbs would fall off.

[Butterflylady]

22. No words........

Just tears.......

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Trump is incapable of being one tenth the decent being Obama was. tRump is incompetent. . . nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. tRump & NRA's LaPierre partied together at the WH on the 5th anniversary of Sandy Hook. . . nt

[LyndaG]

26. Wonderful

I'll never forget that photo of him with some of the little brothers and sisters of the victims. He was such a comfort to them.

[samnsara]

27. im in tears...for what we lost. All of us.

[Lunabell]

28. Obama is the last decent president.

This story had me crying. Crying for the children and because I miss President Obama so much.

[crazycatlady]

29. I'm in tears reading this

[Bettie]

30. I miss having a president and first lady

who are capable of kindness and understanding.

[Cha]

32. A comment under Joshua's piece..

"It isn’t just about being a good president, it’s about being a good person. You can’t fale your character, it’s your shadow and it never lies for you."

Mahalo, Guilded Lilly For all our lost Children

[smirkymonkey]

38. The man was as close to a saint as any human being gets. When I think of what he went through and

how he was able to retain his compassion and humanity I only admire him all the more. I can't believe we have gone from one of the best to the absolute worst in such a short period of time. It's just tragic. We have lost our soul.

[Cha]

39. I know, smirky

We shall rise again.

[Guilded Lilly]

40. The hardest part...such a wonderful human being replaced but such a worthless soul.

For our lost and living children, indeed.
For them we must never forget, resist and fight on.

[Cha]

41. ..

[Vinca]

34. And we know he cried when it was all over . . .

[IronLionZion]

35. Real leaders have empathy and basic human decency

Make Presidents Human Again

[gademocrat7]

36. I am crying.

The compassion goodness and grace that President Obama shared was incredible. I miss him more everyday.

[harun]

37. Democracy, one day we have a decent man leading the free world the next day we have Angela Merkel.
