(28,270 posts)It brings a tear to my eye to contrast this great man with the poo slinging baboon that now soils our White House 24/7.

America, how could you?
I can only console myself with the fact that Hillary won the popular vote by millions but Dumpster Fire still got the job because of some anti democratic rule from long ago.

Here is a real President not building walls or establishing tariffs but instead helping American businesses expand their markets helping to create real high paying manufacturing jobs in the US
http://english.vietnamnet.vn/fms/business/156864/vietjet-and-boeing-sign-us-11-3-billion-contract.html
The deal, signed during U.S. president Barack Obamas visit to Vietnam, represents a coup for Boeing, as VietJet has only operated its European rival Airbus A320 airplanes since it began operations in December 2011.
The airline also signed a $3.04-billion deal for engines made by Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies, for the 63 Airbus planes of the 99 it ordered and 7 hired since 2013.
VietJet says it now has 36 Airbus planes in service, and the delivery of the Boeing planes, expected during 2019 to 2023, will bring the fleet to more than 200 aircraft by the end of 2023, potentially surpassing flag carrier Vietnam Airlines, which now has 89 operating aircraft.
Here is a real President helping not only to sell American products but also assisting SRV in developing renewable energy for everyone's benefit
Hanoi The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) and General Electric (GE) yesterday in Hanoi signed a Memorandum of Understanding to accelerate the development of renewable energy in Vietnam.
Accordingly, the two parties aimed to develop a minimum of 1,000MW of new wind farms by 2025.The farms are expected to ensure energy to approximately 1.8 million Vietnamese homes. GE Vietnam currently employs more than 900 people and offers products and services in the power, energy connections, renewable energy, oil and gas healthcare and aviation sectors.
Here is the President expanding people to people relations between the US and Vietnam
U.S Peace Corps Director Carolyn Hessler Radelet and Vietnamese ambassador to The U.S Pham Quang Vinh exchange in Hanoi, Vietnam May 24, 2016
The program, which is expected to begin over the next two years, allows Peace Corps volunteers to teach English in schools in the country's two largest cities, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, said Peace Corps Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet, who signed the agreement with Vietnam's ambassador to the United States, Pham Quang Vinh.
Abraham Lincoln famously remarked that the best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend. President Obama's trip to Vietnam was one of the most successful trips by an American President to a foreign country, especially a former enemy. He also engaged the Vietnamese people in many open forums.
Virtually none of that ever hit the main stream media, and the only thing that raised a blip was Anthony Bourdain's charming meal with him in the noodle restaurant
