Jesus this is the presidential equivalent of scrolling through your ex’s facebook because you know you fucked up by letting them get away I’m actually crying right now holy shit I miss him so much America didn’t appreciate this man, this is why we now have the orange devil. POTUS. FLOTUS. The Finest President Ever!! The Best HuMens are Free@.TRILLERZ. I do indeed miss Barack H. Obama; a true and sensitive MAN, a REAL smart and intelligent LEADER, and a kool-as-fuck muthafucka, serving as MY PRESIDENT! I am so privileged to have lived to TWICE vote for and to actually see someone in my lifetime who is from MY race/ethnic group, serve as President of the United States (POTUS), as Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. armed forces (of which I once served and am retired, though I never served under Obama), and as a LEADER of the free world.Barack H. Obama, in spite of his political (and perhaps personal) mistakes and/or shortcomings as POTUS – and I’d say there were few, Obama managed to do very well in carrying out his constitutional duties and more; this considering the lack of support he had with nearly every Republican in Congress. Surely it was the Republicans – in particular the Republican Congressional leadership who at the moment it was announced that Obama had won the presidential election of 2008, publicly promised to make his tenure as president unsuccessful. Regardless of his haters both in and out of Congress, Obama still managed to do damn well…I repeat, Obama did damn well for both his country and for the world during his eight years as POTUS.I’ve watched the presidency of Barack Obama carefully. I chose to do so particularly because he was a Black man – someone who looked like me, and who was the first to serve in the highest office of the land – the United States presidency. Yes, for me and many others in my ethnic group, Obama as president was indeed a “Black thing” and was indeed about race. If you say that it wasn’t those things, then you either don’t know the history of Black people in the United States – or perhaps you THINK you know that history yet choose either to reject or deny certain parts of it. Perhaps you choose to close your eyes, cover your ears, and numb your natural human sensitivities to the ever-continuing struggles of not just Black people in general, but of EVERY person of color who either has been or who now is hated, despised, and often discriminated against simply for his or her non-White skin color. Racism – and bigotry too I must add, still exists in the United States. Until both are completely annihilated and eliminated from this country and from the world itself, that fact must always be noted as a reminder whenever feasible when speaking or writing anything that is about America. Now I defy anyone to deny the fact that Barack Obama – as a Black man, certainly set the bar high for any person – particularly non-White men, for women of any color, and yes, for anyone in the legion of non-heterosexuals and transgender people, who may someday either be duly elected by the American people or who might otherwise – due to certain causes or unforeseen circumstances, find themselves unexpectedly serving as president of the United States.Thank you much, President Barack Obama for being you and for being a real and true president and leader who I am and shall continue to be proud of! //RFX// -- source link
