As Trump spends the morning ranting and whining like a pissy little brat on Twitter, remember this?

Just sayin'...

1. 😭😭😭😭

[Scarsdale]

2. Ah, the good old days

when we had a REAL man in charge, with an administration full of competent, qualified people surrounding him. Was it really only a few short years ago? Feels like a lifetime, doesn't it? Remember how many countries asked if they could have President Obama once his second term was over? I do not see anyone wanting the orange blimp.

3. "...don't it always seem to go - that you don't know what you've got til it's gone..."

I’m hearing Joni Mitchell in my ear a LOT. Like whenever I see, hear, read, or think about President Obama.

7. good song!

& it certainly fits in this situation..

[Aristus]

30. Paving Paradise and putting up a parking lot would be a very Trump thing to do.

Then the 'rolling coal' assholes could drive their pollution-mobiles through it...

4. This man never mocked humanity. I'm grateful he is still alive.

5. A real President getting ready to go and speak with the families of the Sandy Hook shootings

President Obama would spend time with each family and ask about their children who
had been killed, hugged them, cried with them, and spent time with their other kids too.

After 3 or 4 families he would go out into the hall and break down. His hair turned grey
shortly afterwards.

And now we have this uncaring hell beast installed by Russia/Vlad who shows up to
a tornado scene dressed for a golf outing and blows off an eight year old boy who just had
his family killed.

8. that was such a tragedy!

every time Obama spoke about it, you could tell it was tearing him apart just thinking about it!

[Botany]

9. The picture @ this link shows the weight of the world on Barack

Obama really did go grey after Sandy Hook. He kept a picture that one of the victims drew
in his private office in the White House and only spoke of it once ... something like "When I
am feeling sorry for myself or the work seems too much I look at the green dinosaur that was
drawn by ****** (girl's name)." Very very rough quote.

[calimary]

10. NEVER has there been such a stark contrast.

Obama and trump.

It just hit me: it’s the ultimate comparison in the flesh “as different as black and white.” Literally and in that order.

[Botany]

11. President Obama kept this picture by a sandy hook victim in his office

15. Damn

[subana]

6. exactly!!

that's what a responsible leader does!!

If you're not responsible, you sit in your office tweeting about how this is so unfair & the media & democrats are against you! And you complain about all of this at a time when you should be meeting with professionals to try & figure a way out of this mess!

[Timmygoat]

12. I constantly think

About how President Bush handed Obama an economy on meltdown, President Obama took on a disaster and patiently worked us through it and left us a pretty good economy, Trump (of the big mouth) came in bragging about all of the big things he would do and look at us 3 years later, he has destroyed everything, he will be handling the next president an economy in crisis. In the process his kids have gotten rich off the taxpayer, his wife must have more expensive outfits than any ordinary person ever dreamed of.So if the next dem president digs us out of the hole, perhaps by taxing the rich etc, they will scream all the way!

So folks, my question is - will the people be stupid enough to hand that back to another republican after 4 years?

[not fooled]

13. I had the same reaction after shrub

lied the nation into a catastrophic war and crashed the economy. Surely the 'Murican people would never again let a grossly unqualified puke get within stealing distance of the White House. Yet, a mere 8 years later, red don gets installed.

[Cosmocat]

24. Absokutely, 100%

I am 54.

My entire life has witnessed this country indulging republican fuck wittery.

Time after time after time.

They just keep getting meaner and more blatent while suffering less consequences.

[exboyfil]

26. Remember Bush was reelected in 2004 (thanks to funny stuff in Ohio)

Don't assume the Democratic candidate will become the next President.

You are right that it is amazing how these folks are willing to go back. Look at how Carter had a tough election against Ford and the utterly corrupt GOP in 1976 and gave back the White House in 1980. How they flushed eight years of a pretty good economy after the twelve years of wild eyed spending to make the election close enough to steal in 2000.

[panfluteman]

14. Sigh - A Man of a Totally Different Caliber...

That is, if you call the current occupant of the White House a man...

[locks]

16. Thanks

If you haven't read Michelle's book"Becoming" please do. Also, Obama, an Intimate Portrait by Pete Souza, White House official Photographer.

17. We've gone from the sublime to the ridiculous

[Joinfortmill]

19. Amen, my friend, amen.

[Joinfortmill]

18. One of our great Presidents.

[Blue Owl]

21. Obama is a giant compared to that puny, putrid, festering boil

n/t

[SergeStorms]

22. It seems like a lifetime ago.

We had a real president, who actually cared about people. All people. Keep looking forward to getting back to a state of normality with a new Democratic administration. That's the best we can do, for now.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

23. I so miss Obama..

[AirmensMom]

25. OMG

I miss him so much.

I'd forgotten what it was like to have an adult in charge.

[exboyfil]

27. Remember how the Republicans love to mock 18 year old college students

as snowflakes when the biggest snowflake is a 73 year old man in the White House.

[redstatebluegirl]

29. Can I wake up and the past 3 years be a nightmare?

I would love to wake up and have President and Mrs. Obama back in the White House.
