That moment when the Obama's greet the next President and spouse at the White House


I think about that moment. That moment motivates me to do everything I can do to help Hillary win this election.

Just the thought of the Obama's having to greet the Trumps at the WH door makes me sick.

Johnson was married to his college girlfriend, Dee Johnson (née Simms; 1952–2006) from 1977 to 2005.
He initiated a separation in May 2005, and four months later he announced that they would divorce.
At the age of 54, Dee Johnson died unexpectedly on December 22, 2006, her cause of death later attributed to hypertensive heart disease.
The couple had two children, now adult.[151]

Johnson became engaged to Santa Fe real estate agent Kate Prusack in 2009, a year after meeting her at a bike race in Santa Fe.
Prusack has stated that the reason they have not yet married is because "my fiance’s always on the road."

..."Then there was her separation from Gary Johnson after 28 years of marriage after he began dating a longtime friend and fellow triathlon competitor.
"My heart is broken," she said at the time of the split.
"To the day she died," Sturm said, "she was just always so dignified about different turns her life had taken, some she had control over and some she had not."
