I will miss the dignity and decency of the first family

Yes, I know that ultimately policy and good governance are of primary importance.

But I was always impressed by the way the Obama family respected the fact that they represented us before the world, and comported themselves accordingly.

I shall miss that a great deal, I suspect.

I have been so proud to have the Obamas represent us, especially after Dubya. I'm just sick at the thought of the trashy trumps being in the White House. It'll take a long time for the taint to dissipate after that POS vacates. I wanted to visit this summer, but canceled those plans when putin/trump stole the presidency.
