General Discussion

...far more than most people could (or should) endure, and all with a calm, measured, professional demeanor. Obviously, the first African American president, but also a genuine, contemplative and brilliant human being.

Obama, like most presidents in my lifetime, had some policies I disagreed with. And yet during his tenure, I also could go to sleep more easily at night, knowing that BHO held the nuclear codes and wouldn't plan or execute anything rash or some knee-jerk, psycho-rage behavior.

I will sorely miss this man and Michelle. They're both incredibly sharp and savvy, and both possess deep empathy. They're still young and have stated that they both will continue to fight for what's fair, honorable, reasonable, diverse and inclusive.

My heartfelt thank-you and deepest respect and admiration to them both.
