Thanks Obama

[Athlai]

A bit early, but WAG he was. Agree with him or not, hard to deny he was a class act.

Pretty nice gallery from a White House Photographer below

Retiring from the tour is he? For all that golf I was surprised he didn't win a major.

Will always be something of a hero for me because of 2008 alone. WAG.

 

[Pothas]

I actually like him more now than I did then.

 

[sledger]

Will particularly miss his disdain for civil liberties.

 

[Gnske]

A model President in his character (policy another story), but he never felt like a politician, personable and pretty lovable really. Actually makes me really surprisingly sad that we have only 2 more months of him, I really honestly hope he doesn't disappear from public life (as I'm sure he won't).

I hope too many years don't pass before America gets a man/woman of his quality in the top job again.

he's welcome to move over here

 

[andruid]

How long before he gets tarred and feathered/investigated/probed/etc by the incoming RepubLican govt

 

[fredfertang]

Best wipe his hard drive before he moves out

There's plenty more where that cane from.

I thought this was a thread about his work of the last few weeks. Hillary supposedly comfortably ahead in the polls, Obama does a few days of speeches and Trump goes and wins. Go figure.

So what will be the new #thanksObama sarcastic meme for the Trump age? #Americaisgreatagain tagged on pictures of Big Macs that don't have all it's ingredients?

This is a very un-Gnske-like post.

Nice try, but it does ignore that clown from the FBI helpfully lying about Clinton's emails 10 days before election day.

Lol, please enlighten us with the lies Comey supposedly told.

Souza is a wonderful photographer. His pics of the Obamas have been amazing.

I stlil remmeber Nov 5th 2008. I was at uni, in a lecture. The results were meant to come out anytime and this was before smartphones and I didn't have internet on my phone. My lecturer and I had discussed the elections before and were both hoping for Obama to win. So when he did win, he turned towards me, winked and put the news up on the projector and the entire lecture hall roared. What a moment.

It was a great time. His acceptance speech was something I'll never forget. I was worried someone would bump him off before he was inaugurated. Thank **** they didn't.
