My grandparents had FDR. My mom had JFK and RFK. I had Obama.

I'll certainly take it.

What a blessing to experience the last eight years and I have a feeling, 50 years from now, we'll look back at Pres. Obama with such gratitude and inspiration as we did FDR, JFK and RFK.

1. Beautifully stated

I agree 100 percent.

2. So funny, I was thinking almost this exact thing earlier.

Born in the 70's. This is what those prior generations felt about those special presidents. I'm extremely grateful to have had President Obama be mine.

3. I'm 67 years old and so lucky to have had the Kennedys, MLK,

and this most amazing, wonderful President Obama. Best Speech Ever! I Love him so much. Balled like a baby whole time.

5. I'm glad you brought this up. I was wondering what is Obama's big historic quote.

What is his "ask not" or "the only thing we have to fear"? He's given alot of good speeches but there hasn't been that instant tagline. It's the only thing he's really missing.

8. Not a typical quote, more a slogan, but "Yes We Can" will always be tied to him.

6. I was a bit too young to appreciate JFK and RFK. So I had to wait until I was

51 years old to have the President of my generation.

Yes, I loved Bill Clinton and still do, but Barack Obama has been the one closest to my heart for his steady, calm demeanor in the face of such terrible racism, and his progressive policies.

He's going to be a very tough act to follow.

10. I've been a huge Obama fan ever since his 2004 DNC speech.

I wish he could have ran for a 3rd term. I was born in 1986 and IMO he really is our generation's JFK, it was us Millennials who got him elected and reelected.
