I was very very happy with the Obama's in office. I was pissed in 2010 when we crippled his plans with a republican sweep...but one of my favorite moments was when Obama said,'The american people have spoken and I will change my plans accordingly' (I can only paraphrase, though I bet I could find the speech on youtube. Even though it went against what I wanted, he was right. Yet, he still managed to keep us from being the asshats that we have discovered our government can be with this complete narcisstic incompetent. I have very few heroes in this world. Most are people I know directly. But The First Family Obama's are my heroes. Fighter's, every one of 'em.
Before the age of Trump, people were shocked that President Obama had an occasional cigarette! Now nothing shocks us anymore.
Probably would have shocked them more to see Jacquie Kennedy smoke. She smoked all the time, just never in public.

Very Well Put!
Yes, I do remember when the American president was actually the leader of the free world, a genuine real human and not a phoney self indulgent orange clown with shit for brains.
don't flatter 45 so much
Yes, but many people just could not get past the fact that it wasn't white people living in the White House. That was really the whole issue, always. None of us alive today will live long enough to see the kind of changes that we need. And it's not just in the US, or just a skin color issue. Seems too many humans will only tolerate other people who are just like them. Religion, politics, skin color, language, economics, diet, body shape and so many more issues just seem to divide us from the rest. Wish it were not so, but the Obamas in the WH just really re-activated the sleeping racists who were just waiting for a reason to re-arm. And those people helped bring us the idiot we now have in the WH and caused the rest of the GOP to go along with everything that has happened since. These are difficult times. The future will be interesting.
Someday all the races will merge into one by marriage and children. I welcome that day. I am just sure I will be watching from another planet for this one and I will be gone.
@BettyColeman I used to think that Betty and also welcomed it, but being a dog owner I've watched the breed owners/breeders protect their breed characteristics to celebrate the differences... even though ALL today's dog breeds were selectively bred from the ancient wolf-mutts of 15,000 years ago. What will humans do? I always laugh when people find other surprising races in their past from DNA tests. Denial is not a river in Egypt.
@mtnhome i have seen many breeders who could have cared less about their breeds. That is usually when you got a nasty German Shepherd or a nice one. I do not think genetic purity perfection is a possibility. if it were, perhaps that one question everyone wants answered mute. Is there or there isn't there a GOD. If your skin color is the same, does not mean you will be totally alike in every way..
It is tragic when a flawed but human man or woman is not allowed to do what they are good at. So much promise and damn good ideas never came to fruition because of Cheeto-man and his tiny handed minions
Cheeto-man and his tiny handed minions? Pretty damn funny you are
The 44th President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, along with their children were sunny family times that made the White House proud to belong to America. Now it is primarily filled with conartists and mobsters.
