I remember his rallies in nh in 07. We saw him at the opera house in Rochester nh. He was electrifying. I cried the night he won the Presidency. I'll never forget it.

You saw him. I never have.

Ha, hey NH I am MA!

That night, I laughed and cried. I was prepared for a long night. I will tell you something, I knew, truly did know he was going to win. I just didn't expect it that quickly!

Boom.

Best President of my lifetime and will die happy that I was part of that.

I had a bunny with the pancake on its head for years. Then a DUer posted the duck pick to one of my posts (Im pretty sure he did it to mock me). I thought it was hilarious so I made it my avatar right away.

He has done so many things that are "outside the box" and by that I mean kind, healing, and most of all dignity in the face of adversity. I am sad this country could not celebrate his steps forward. Could you imagine a Trump president for the last 8 years? A stark contrast.

So much hate. Yet he calmly went forward with dignity and grace. He has made this Country a better place.

Thank you, I thank you.

I kind of notice a trend here. Our president treats all people with respect and decency regardless of where they are on the socioeconomic spectrum.

The janitor even has his rubber glove on and that didn't deter Obama.

On the opposite side we have this to remember bush by....
