1. Thank you I Love President Obama

He Is the greatest President of my life time. Love his love and spirit. I miss him being our man in charge. Thank you for the post it brought tears to my eyes.

[Botany]

5. Welcome to DU

Obama made sure to make sure that everybody he talked to felt better after he spoke them.

[volstork]

2. One thing that always strikes me when I see film of Obama

is how completely comfortable he is in his own skin. That is truly the source of his confidence and magnetism (and of anyone's, in truth); his deep self-confidence allows him to project love and compassion to others.

What a dramatic contrast to the current poseur-in-chief-- a frightened, flailing little man who has no skill set other than braying at how "unfairly" he's been treated all of his prissy, pampered life.

I think it is exactly Obama's smooth confidence that so gets under trumpy's skin. He knows he can NEVER be like that, and it scares him to death.

9. +1000

Obama is just naturally "cool" and charismatic, whereas Trump tries so hard and fails miserably. Everything about him is phony. There is no there there. He is a hollow shell of a human being.

16. One of my favorite Obama photos....

Could ANYONE imagine Doturd having any sense of humor? You have to have human characteristics to possess one......

3. "are you real?"

[MontanaMama]

22. We had it so good for a while.

Watching it now doesn’t even seem real.

[Bettie]

4. Such a kind and decent man

it kills me that we went from him to that orange man-shaped thing.

[Botany]

7. You are 100% right

President Obama's kindness shines through. Even speaking to the couple on the
bench who had just finished visiting the grave of a family member @ Arlington
National Cemetery he showed class, grace, and gave comfort.

6. That made me cry.

But it was a good cry.

[JudyM]

8. Can you imagine trump going out of his way to greet a food truck employee/owner?

Thanks for planting smiles here this morning, Botany, mine included.

[Botany]

11. Or Trump greeting those Asian tourists like President Obama did?

Trump (rough quotes) Hi! Where are you from? Good, please enjoy your visit.

He made them feel better after he spoke to them.

[geardaddy]

10. I miss that man.

[47of74]

12. back when we had an actual President

[Blue Owl]

31. He made EVERYONE feel like they mattered. EVERYONE.

Whereas that fucking asshole trump prides himself in belittling everyone else and making them feel like only he matters.

[WinstonSmith4740]

13. A wonderful reminder of normal.

I miss him so much.
We've got to get back to The Garden before we destroy ourselves. Putin's got to laughing his ass off right now.

[yellowwoodII]

14. This made me cry

for what we've lost.

[Scarsdale]

15. I have tears in my eyes

watching this. So many smiling faces, even Podesta. What a difference between then and now. tRump has made a mockery of the office, helped along by the gop traitors. We need a president we can respect once again.

[George II]

17. You got me there! And he didn't need troops, tear gas, and rubber bullets to clear the way.

[Fla Dem]

18. Weeping over what was.

[IronLionZion]

19. President Obama wasn't afraid of the American people despite death threats

Trump knows enough people out there would gladly kick his fat ass or throw a milkshake at him or something

[Aviation Pro]

20. Can't wait for President Biden's inauguration

To see President Obama seated where Shitbag would have been.

[sandensea]

21. I bet His Orangeness will bail on the inaugural (we should be so lucky)

He'll probably be diddling his daughter at Mar-a-Loco - or on his way to Brazil.

[NNadir]

23. It makes you want to cry. I miss having a President. n/t.

[Dukkha]

24. The most accurate subject line

44 will always be my President
45 NEVER my president.

[cayugafalls]

25. Why am I crying?

Man, I miss what was...today is so surreal.

We will win.

[marieo1]

26. Our President

Now.....there is a REAL President. He is such a nice kind man and respects and acknowledges everyone. Wish he were still our President instead of the buffoon!!

[llmart]

27. OMG!

Stop making me cry, Botany. Why, why, why can't we have somebody like this once again? Why couldn't we just have re-elected him??? We should have all just written his name in on the ballot.

I just love everyone's reaction to seeing him. "Are you real?"

There has never been a more "real" President in recent history. He and his entire family were a class act, that's for sure.

[phylny]

28. I am tearful.

So wonderful.

[sellitman]

29. Tears

A real President.


(What no mask?)

[Blue Owl]

30. What a beautiful day to be an American

[Cha]

32. Kick for Pres Obama!

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. Are You Real?

Too funny! I would be thinking that. 50/50 on whether I:d have blurted it out or not. 😂
