(10,952 posts)To know know that we soared to the top of the highest mountains with this incredible couple and we have now sunk to the lowest depths with the Buffoon in Chief we are stuck with now.
Michelle and Barack Obama are the personification of what people can strive to become and are remodels for our children. Buffoon in Chief and his minions are the personification of what people should run away from.

I miss them too. They represent all that is good and decent in this world. Our nation was blessed to have them for those 8 years. May they live long and prosper.

(272 posts)could suddenly decide this unfit, orange, POS, racist, sexual assaulting, mentally unstable moron should follow such a great president. It makes no logical sense.

Mission accomplished.

(21,188 posts)Or when Obama was president they always said they liked him.
Funny now when someone brings up chump they laugh or make funny noises. I tell them he is our president and we have to show him respect( while in my thoughts I want to barf making that statement and make the same noises as the kids)!

That we have sunk so low and so fast is completely heartbreaking.

(63,221 posts)How did we go from such lovely, wonderful people to the disgusting cesspool of a family we have now. It's mindblowing. I still don't think I have quite absorbed it.

From compassion to indifference.
From measured actions to recklessness.
From world curiosity to ignorance.
We have sunk so far so fast. I don't recognize this nation anymore. President Obama wasn't perfect, no one is. But i always knew that he saw people as human beings not objects shoved out of the way or as a means of self-aggrandizement.
Will we ever recover our basic decency?

(61,698 posts)Pres. & Mrs. Obama were wonderful with kids and they love him!
One of my favorites is the baby whisperer short video. Baby is crying, no one can calm the baby until he holds him like a pro.

The Obama's appealed to the good in all of us. Rump and his clan appeal to the worst only.
