He has done much to restore faith and gain respect for this country that Bush and Cheney stole from us. We have made progress under his leadership. It is a start.

(171,094 posts)I hope I am, too. Maybe someone in the wings I'm not aware of yet, but meantime, I'm so grateful to have been here to see this man represent us.

President Obama seems to always have his hand out for friendship.
It's a beautiful thing.
We can be a great and fair friend.
Hey, yallerdawg, you are correct. He is a friend with his compassion.

(309 posts)A world leader moved by compassion, comforting a complete stranger. An intensely intimate moment, the best of human nature.
Whatever differences I've had with some of his policies, I have always been proud of our First American Family.
Gonna miss them all.

..It's a simple thing to say, but for me it says everything.

(8,175 posts)And I don't know that I've ever seen anyone quite like him before. I know a lot of people really loved John F. Kennedy. I think he was a good but flawed man. I think I actually liked Robert Kennedy better. I don't see many flaws in Obama, even if we aren't quite on the same wave length politically. He's so full of compassion, it just shows in everything he does. And Michelle has been the angel at his side. A great family this country will always be able to hold up in pride.
I am very pleased that he made this trip. Someone should have done it long ago...it took someone with a heart courage.
Thanks for posting this Sheshe

I totally expected this to be ripped apart. The night is young.
However, you are right. He has courage.

(1,820 posts)I am proud President Obama represents me. I care deeply for him. I think he would make a wonderful Supreme Court Member, however, I hope he is joyous in whatever he does.

(34,458 posts)President Obama is a warm, decent human being before anything else. I am so going to miss him, because whoever succeeds him in January doesn't have the same level of compassion.

I love him and his family and will miss them so much.

(9,999 posts)He wasn't always the best politician (which can be a supreme compliment) but he was always a good man. History should remember this man kindly and he will be missed. And don't even get me started on his amazing family. Thanks for another great BOG post sheshe.

When Hillary is sworn in on Jan. 20, 2017, I will cry tears of joy, but also tears of sadness to see this wonderful man sign off for the last time.

Plus the family has been scandal free.
