I'm feeling a deep sense of loss already. I will be excited if Hillary wins but I will still be very sad on January 20.

I'm voting for Hillary of course, I would just as easily have voted for Bernie but I'm sure going to miss this president. In 08 I voted for Hillary in my primary but I quickly believed that the right person became president.

and they're all ours

Best President in my 68 years by far.

Just think what we could have accomplished if he had had any help rather than the racist bullshit he had to deal with.

He has my respect and always will. His family and him are Awesome people.

8 years under Bush seemed more like 20 years. 8 years under Obama was like 2 years.

I don't even want to think about how long 8 years under Trump would be...

time to unearth another with his incredible qualities. And what I respect/admire about him most, is how no-drama Obama could keep looking forward, maintain humor and grace, in the face of a level of frustration it's not possible for me to know.

I'd rate the 18th amendment and the 22nd as the two worst to be attached to the Constitution.

When that day comes, we can celebrate that he survived. That the Secret Service did their jobs, that no tragedy has befallen them.

With the blatant racism and violence in this country, I will be happy that his legacy of eight years that were scandal-free, dignified and safe.
