Dear President Obama: We're gonna miss you when you're gone!

[MineralMan]

And how we will miss you! We will not see your like in the White House again for a long time, and more's the pity. In the face of massive obstacles, you persevered and got progressive changes done, despite constant obstruction from the Republicans. You improved life for millions with ACA and presided as President as LGBTQ Americans were able to marry the ones they loved

And you did that while people from both ends of the political spectrum maligned and attacked you. Your patience, calm, and dedication to service overcame all of that. As you leave the White House next month, remember that millions of Americans watched you, supported you and worked to help you achieve your goals.

You will be missed greatly. We hope we will be able to prevent the new President and Congress from destroying all you helped to change. We'll work hard to do that. You and your wonderful family will be remembered throughout our lives.

Thank you, Mr. President!

6. I think we would all like to do that.

Sadly, we cannot. More's the pity.

What we can do is work to stop Donald Trump from destroying all of his accomplishments.

be out there in the shadows helping us. Along with Joe Biden.

I think he will be considered our last President that's how I consider him.

I've cried tears of sadness and on Jan 20th, I'll be a wreck.

[montanto]

15. Yes, very much.

Wife and I re-watched the 2016 White House Correspondent's Dinner over the weekend, weeping. So funny, so sharp, and yet I feel like he already knew. *sigh* Still going to need to look to him for strength in the coming years.

Maybe Barack can fill in for Seth Meyers when SM is on vacation. He has the timing, the following and the brains. Or maybe a monthly political recap from the Pres. Explaining what is real in the news.

As much as I have listened to Barack speak, I always wanted to listen more. That is how much I will avoid 'Hitler without a plan' whenever I see him open his mouth. I think the only time I will listen to the Real Donald' speak will be on SNL.

25. I'm already feeling the first weight of a depression coming on

I have to fight hard not to succumb to hopelessness. I don't dare retire now because I truly fear I won't have medicare or my Social Security soon. If I lose them I will truly despair.

[Lifelong Protester]

26. I ALREADY miss him.

I will have to find something else to do on Jan. 20th.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Yes, we are.

How much we will miss him will become depressingly obvious in the coming months - a perfect example of a transition from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Obama's caring for our country and all it's inhabitants, and personal integrity will be greatly missed. The incoming squealer is such a freaking embarrassment, I can't stand it!
