Sigh. Those 8 years just flew by, didn’t they? For those that hated Obama, these are happy days indeed with today being Obama’s last full day as President. I can’t share any outlook (as most of my family on pretty much all sides does) on tomorrow and the next four years that is positive, as come on. Just the transition efforts alone, and the choices for the Cabinet, and him still fucking TWEETING like an idiot, getting riled up at a moment’s notice….whooo boy. It just puts in stark relief what we’ve had these last 8 years.
I’m going to miss President Obama and his family quite a lot. I’m bracing for whatever comes next, and holding on to some tiny shred of hope that the next 4 years aren’t a complete shitshow. So God speed President Obama, and good luck to us all, especially to the incoming President. Let’s hope that somewhere deep in his being, there’s someone who actually does want to improve things for the country and its people. I should probably drink more wine.
