1. it's hard being the first. obama has done a tremendous job under the circumstances.

usually the same level of opposition doesn't exist for the second.

2. But there is one little one who did get to enjoy him

4. How did I miss that when it happened.

When President Obama scooped her up and hugged her she giggled with pure joy. I'm so going to miss him when he leaves office. Having Hillary take over will be my only consolation. A great consolation, I might add. I'm as excited as I can be about President Hillary Clinton!!!

5. You put that in much better words

than I could. I've been thinking about it all day. Trump stole something from all of us. I hate him for what he and the republicans tried to do to our president. Too bad for him/them that President Obama rose above it all. (At least on the outside. I can't imagine it didn't hurt.terribly at times.)
