The rug and the corner-less walls made me think it was the OO, but it didn't look right. I thought maybe they had decorated a room in their new house very Presidential-ly.

that's more like what Trump would do, or even Dubya.

The Obama's have too much class for that.

The Obamas LIVE their values. After all they suffered through, they deserve much happiness. Meanwhile tRump and his nude "model" live separately. The cost to taxpayers for the tRump clan is enormous. All the residences, flights to Florida, disgusting.

It's so hard to believe it's only been 3 weeks. We went from classy to trashy with head snapping speed. And then time slowed down to the point where it seems like they've been gone for years.

Then the company got bought out, and your great boss chose to take a severance package. Meanwhile the company has gone to complete shit and bankruptcy is just around the corner.

During the last eight years, the amount of mindless, heartbreakingly racist crap so cruelly thrown at the Obamas illustrates how our badly country has slipped-- and severely so-- on diversity and tolerance.

So grateful to have lived in a time where JFK made us great; MLK was our conscience; Robert Kennedy, Bob Dylan and Muhammad Ali were our voices; and finally, Barack and Michelle Obama were our first family and leaders.

I think history will look upon the Obama's in a special place. I also think that the Obamas will have more of a post-presidency closer to Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter than the Clintons. I was not of voting age during the Carter years, but he was mistreated not unlike the Obamas. I am not a Clinton hater or anything like that; just a special place in my heart for the Carters and the Obamas.

I'm so proud that we had them leading the way for eight years. They were so inspirational throughout. And they were insulted, obstructed, disrespected, and unappreciated. Yet they rose above it every time. What a great example they set!

And no matter how old they are, they'll still make a mighty cute couple!
