The thought of the Obamas having to greet the Trumps

on Inauguration Day makes me ill. He would have to essentially give the "keys" to a man that said he was an illegitimate President. He basically told President Obama to show his "papers". Then to have his historic Predidency followed up by that racist man is unthinkable. This is starting to become real and the thought of that man in the White House has me very upset.

It would be the first time a white billionaire and his entitled family would move into public housing vacated by a black man and his family.

Small funny to keep it a little on the lighter side.
In reality, with you.

No matter how lukewarm they may be on Clinton, unless they want Obama's legacy whitewashed and diminished in the history books, they have to turn out.

That's the answer to everything that concerns you. You can help materially in making sure your scenario never comes to pass.

Call the campaign or go to the website and sign up as a volunteer. You'll feel much better and have less reason for concern.
