Obama Reckons With A Trump Presidency -- The New Yorker
As our side looks for political guidance in a turbulent time, everything President Obama says here shows how inspiring he is.
My favorite parts are the President's take on American voters, and his enlightened approach to social media and fake news issues.
President Obama is one great human to emulate.

The hate & vitriol they've endured with such grace! Such a beautiful family.

...he must be in agony over what is to come.
That is a perfect photo of him - his calm and steady core shines from within him.
