Thanks to Obama
President Obama has proved somewhat of a disappointment.
Despite our high hopes, in his two terms as president he has not solved all the world’s, or even all of America’s problems.
However, the current electoral cycle can only remind us how lucky we are to have had him in the White House.
Looking at his possible successors, we can only recognize the intelligence, decency, calm integrity and true family values that we have all taken for granted during his terms.
We are going to miss Obama and the better angels of our nature that he has so quietly, but determinedly, represented.
