Barack Obama asked to hold this baby in Hawaii and this is why we miss him...

...at least one of the reasons!!!






President Obama gracefully walked up and asked to hold my niece Riley. He was golfing in Hawaii. My niece is the GOAT period. #Hawaii #obama #President #MichelleObama

He is an example of purity of virtue and light in which they convulse and writhe in revulsion. They only thrive in a maelstrom of evilness and shrink from truth like wounded repulsive infected jackals dripping with pus. They bring to mind the horror of Michael Angelo's depiction of those condemned to an eternity of damnation in the Sistine Chapel for their crimes against humanity. There are no limits to which they will condescend in their quest to destroy purity and truth in their insatiable thirst for power.

My son was devastated when he found out the result of the 2016 election.

I couldn’t look at, listen to, or read the news for several months afterward.

I took him with me when I voted in our recent local election. Two of our neighbors are poll workers (and Democrats!) at our polling place. We saw another neighbor there. My son proudly wore his “Future Voter” sticker for the rest of the day! We frequently discuss politics and policy.
Well-educated children are our future!

Happy Holidays from Georgia! ⭐️ 🌲 ⭐️

When she started school and when I started working, I would wait to vote until I picked her up. I wanted the importance and privilege of voting ingrained in her.

It worked. She was lucky enough to cast her first presidential vote for Obama in 2008.

Seeing President Obama is like breathing a breath of fresh air. We have been so bombarded with DJT, DJT has made a point to saturate our every waking moment with him, his pictures or the insane gibberish he spouts. I, for one am just plain sick, tired and worn out from all of his stupidness.. I want our quiet, peaceful lives back like we had with President Obama.

Try to find a photo of him holding any of his own children like that.

Here's one of him with babies:
?w=450&h=450&fit=crop&crop=faces&auto=format&q=70

Here's another one. (Hands, Donald, hands!)


And he looks so uncomfortable holding a grandbaby.

We saw him twice when he was running the first time but never got to shake his hand. #1 on my bucket list is to hug President Obama. I actually cry when I see things like this. I have so much respect for him. A gentleman and a statesman. ❤
