3. A guy walks into a bar.

Jan 2017

The bartender pours him a drink, and the guy says to him:

"I'll miss Obama; he's a decent guy and a historic president besides - our first Black president."

"But Trump's historic too," the bartender notes.

"Oh, yeah?"

"Sure he is! Our first Manchurian president."

And we will miss Michelle just as much as we will miss you.

I don't think it will be too long before every sane human being misses your calm, reassuring presence in the White House.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

No more attacks, no more vile comments to endure - you led our country out of financial ruin, YOU tried to do the most good for the most people...against all odds... - and yet, there you were, Healthcare, equality, wage increase, well, and then this too!

I miss you already.

I think about where I was in Jan 2009. Since then both my parents and my dog passed away. President Obama was always a source of strength.

That's all I can say

Part despair, part anger, part frustration.

tRump, knowing what we know, should do the honorable thing and step down. The election was a coup and he is not the rightful owner of victory.

I have to admit I don't miss being called sanctimonious, drug addled or that our ideas were "retarted". What I will miss is a president that can be" reasoned "with. Stupid is hard to fix.

He must continue to speak out and lead us out of the coming morass as soon as possible.

He loves his country, and I don't think this great American will stand by in silence while it's destroyed.

I miss his power, but I hope we will not miss his voice.
