he is calm and kind looking, he's in great physical shape, he is a model of serenity. The only thing better would be if his wonderful wife and children were with him. Now compare him with the mean looking, hypertensive, fat, orange man with an IQ of 2. How far we have fallen into the septic abyss.

After Mr Obama the pendulum swung hard the other way.

Just imagine how hard it will swing even further after someone like Elizabeth Warren became president

that ex-presidents should back away from the spotlight to allow for the incoming president to establish his administration and mover forward with his/her presidency.

I believe this rule is a good one, in normal times.

These times are not normal, absolutely not normal, insanely not normal.

We need president Obama back in the fight in a big way.

Man, I miss the dude.

And always hoped to run into President Obama but never did. I had the privilege of meeting Jill Biden, who is an outstanding person. I might have even been thrilled to meet Bush II (but not Cheney), but Trump embarrasses me and should do the same for any decent American, and I have no interest in meeting him in any environment.
