So… How is he going to handle his address being way overshadowed by the latest out of the Trump camp… Seems like the time you tear up your script and just start talking straight.
PLEASE Obama…whatever you say DO NOT let the pretender off the hook…i mean not even a sound of defense in his direction!
Tonight is not about Pepe.
No, tonight is about us and U.S.
You got that right, friend. This is beautiful.
@tena - here’s the happy thread
Fear as element that can ruin a democracy… I love this man. I am so happy he is young.
I love this man - how lucky were we to have had the opportunity to elect this brilliant, compassionate, thoughtful, decent and honest man not once but twice?
I cannot thank President Obama enough for his service to this nation!
OK, I am like all cryin’ and shit.

I love you Barack Hussein Obama. The Best President Ever. Never forgotten. We have to work harder now. Let us not forget this evening and what he said. Democracy is hard, change is hard. We can’t stop
Okay…I didn’t think I could handle this…so I tuned in late with this final words of advice…they alone were so brilliant. I’m going to hold this advice close and try to help it inspire me in times of darkness:
“Ultimately, that’s what our democracy demands. It needs you. Not just when there’s an election, not just when your own narrow interest is at stake, but over the full span of a lifetime. If you’re tired of arguing with strangers on the internet, try to talk with one in real life. If something needs fixing, lace up your shoes and do some organizing. If you’re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office yourself. Show up. Dive in. Persevere. Sometimes you’ll win. Sometimes you’ll lose. Presuming a reservoir of goodness in others can be a risk, and there will be times when the process disappoints you. But for those of us fortunate enough to have been a part of this work, to see it up close, let me tell you, it can energize and inspire. And more often than not, your faith in America – and in Americans – will be confirmed.”
And his salute to Michelle…the long hug with Joe on stage.
I…can’t…stand…saying goodbye to him as POTUS and his lovely family…THE First family.
sigh…I really love the Obamas.
Classy, thoughtful, instructive, and with good humor.
Plus, he came home for the send-off. Well done, sir.
I’m gonna miss this guy.
