3. we as a country, go from one of THEE greatest presidents, AND a A W E S O M E

human being to ONE of the worlds most disgusting, self centered, egotistical pieces of orange crap EVER.

9. I feel you. I'm there right beside you. It's maddening.

[bdamomma]

4. I am going to

miss him too and his intelligence and the world to. Damn

This what our children have to live in

[bhikkhu]

5. He is a better man than me...

I have to confess, I had no idea what to say to my daughters.

7. Half the country has no idea how lucky we have been these 8 years.

[Silver Gaia]

8. Yes. That is so true. Sadly so.

[Ilsa]

10. Post is a keeper.

We're going to miss his and Michelle's wisdom, strength, and maturity.

12. His daughters will never have to worry about basic living expenses, medical care, etc.

I'm freaked out because I know a lot of people who will because they are already on the edge of disaster. I'm old enough that I don't know how I will recover from a trump administration. I lost so much during the bush years. If these monsters manage to gut SS and Medicare, I have no idea how I will live when I can no longer work.

So, I find the prospect of the next 2-4 or, god forbid, 8 years really terrifying.

15. I'm right there with you, diane in sf. I, too, am in the same boat as you.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. You're right, they'll be just fine, most of the rest of us, not so much.

19. "His daughters will never have to worry"

They WILL have to worry because of their black skin. Money has never allowed black people to get some sort of "pass" from harassment by the bigots and cops, many of whom will be looking to haunt and hound them for the rest of their lives.

20. I hear ya

I'm feeling rather terrified, I will need those.

Peace

13. I love this President and will miss him and his family

In life I've not known many who were as forgiving as he

[oasis]

14. Great statesman. He deserves a peaceful rest with family.

17. the contrast between Obama...

and agent orange is just mind numbing. I hope people wake the fuck up after a year or so of low class tweet-storming bullshit. But I'm not holding my breath...

[YOHABLO]

18. You know I don't see his daughters having to worry one bit about anything.

People are in for a rude awakening. Especially those who voted for Trump.
