Barack Obama
In reply to the discussion: I am going to miss my President. [View all]brer cat
(26,912 posts)15. I try very hard not to get caught
up in what was done to him and therefore not done by him. They fought him tooth and nail, but still he has accomplished so much..and he isn't finished. He brought grace and dignity back to the WH, he has been fair and reasoned in his dealings with both friends and enemies, he brought us back from the brink of economic disaster, and tried his best to unwind the oil wars of bush/cheney. Few would have done so much even without the damned elephant that he had to carry.
We are fortunate indeed to have had PBO for our President. I will miss him greatly.
Thanks for the thread, sheshe.

Look at the smiles on those children in the last picture, especially the one in the middle!

In the interest of full disclosure, that picture is from an appearance that Barack Obama made...

Rock solid in every way. Including his remarkably rock solid job approval over time never mentioned.

Millions of us will. Even more than we know. He'll be getting those 3 a.m. calls. Thanks!

I like him too but let's not pretend he's perfect. He's just the best we've had in about 50+ years.

Nobody ever said President Obama was "perfect".. Too many just wanted him to be or else.
