In 2018 people stepped up and showed up like never before. Keep it up in 2019. We’ve got a lot of work to do, and I’ll be right there with you. Happy New Year, everybody!

Remember how he brought peace in Middle East? So much that people from there flew in Europe just to share that excessive amount of it with others.
That Nobel prize sure was a foreshadow of greatness.

AMEN TO THAT!!! can add intelligence, humility, maturity, sincerity and forbearance, just to name a FEW more qualities we miss in a REAL leader, like President Obama, whose interests were for the GOOD of ALL the people in the USA and NOT himself and the top 1%

Well, Alister is clearly sarcastic

but the others are probably not. Must be some combination of the Trump reality distortion phenomenon, in which the horror of Trump completely warps one's perceptions, and the head up the ass syndrome. I'm thinking more the latter.

Someone needs to tell Joanne

that Obama left the White House 20 million dollars richer than when he went in.

Form over Substance

Apparently the Fans of Team Blue are much more interested in making sure the Presidency is occupied by someone who says the right things and doesn't look like a clown while he's doing it than they are with actual policy.

Maybe the title of this essay should be "Father Barack Speaks to His Flock" ...of children.

The only two smart comments she's ever made were

@Anja Geitz

about Obama.

"Winning The Future. WTF" Or something to that effect. (Winning the Future was a theme of one of Obama's state of the union speeches.)

and

"How's that hopey changey thing workin' for ya?"

Clever, what you did there!

@magiamma

That reminds me of a wonderful vacay in Newport, RI. I cannot tell a lie: This borderline socialist enjoyed touring mansions.

Anyway, as we were getting out of the car, a band on the lawn of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Hutton]'s mansion was playing Putting on the Ritz, first time I'd heard it played in person. I felt Oh! so Gatsbyesque.
