I'm going spend some time now mourning for an ideal and vision. Hope still remains, but its wings are tattered.

His wings were never tattered. He brought his flock home, unharmed, from every mission. Now, he must ask, "What are we fighting for?'

or likely to be recalled. It was tough enough serving under Nixon and Reagan. This time I'm sure I'd run my mouth and add to my fine first edition collection of ass slings or worse.

but I took solace and hope from his presser today. I really think PBO and Michelle will be at the forefront of resistance to Trump in a very low profile, but very influential way.

That voter suppression might be an area of focus for him in the future. Sounds good to me. Look out you mother effers. Citizen Obama is in the house!

I'm a wreck tonight. I'll miss them so much.

Why be sad, He was the best president we had and after a short time to relax, he will be back, perhaps as a supreme court justice, or stomping for candidates.

Thank you, President Obama.

I don't think any U.S. president, ever, will be missed as much.
