I swear after the last nine months the man's voice is like a soothing balm for the soul.
And the hopefulness in his voice.....I had almost forgotten how good that sounds.
Here is how GQ Magazine described it:
Yesterday President Barack Obama re-emerged on the scene like Han Solo coming back at the end of Star Wars: A New Hope. Okay, maybe that's overstating it a little, but what can I say, we've been severely lacking in hope and here we have Mr. Hope himself back on the national political scene campaigning and reminding us what it was like to have an actual honest-to-God adult speaking to Americans. He campaigned for Democrats in both New Jersey and Virginia and in the process threw some political elbows at his successor and the depressing state of the American political landscape. You know how when you used to wake up and check Twitter, it was kind of fun, but now it just feels like someone spitting directly into your face first thing in the morning? Yeah, these speeches were the first things in a while that don't make me feel that way.
Exactly!
In the first part of this speech you can hear the crowd shouting "Four more years!"
And just for a minute did you not find yourself wishing that such a thing were possible?
anytime any where....he is the best of us
ReplyDeleteYes! Thank you, Gryphen. I miss this man as our president so much. Maybe too much. I daydream of a scenario that President Obama is re-elected and our president again. Yeah yeah yeah ... call me a sicko or just wishful thinking... but I really do wish he could be our president again. Class, intelligence, competence, dignity and dedication to our country. Miss the man and his wonderful wife so much...
ReplyDeleteWasn't it a treat to watch someone speak in complete sentences, speak positively, be inclusive.
DeleteBarack Obama has always been an honorable man worthy of much respect. "Uncle Gryphen" on the other hand...
ReplyDeleteAwwww.....fee fees hurt AGAIN?
DeleteYou're so pathetic, we're stronger than you.
There's your minute of fame that you were actually replied to.
What has 'Uncle Gryphen' ever done to you. Have a different opinion while presenting facts? He even lets you attack him on his own blog. Talk about an ungrateful putz.
DeleteThe best thing about my President Obama is that he brings out the best of us. And that will always be his forever legacy. Bless him and those he loves.

And on another note, tick, tock, DJT, your days remaining as POTUS are few. Almost Mueller Time.
We need a sacrifice for the team. Somebody run for prez. President Obama as vice prez. on ballot. Win. prez Resigns and then vice prez Obama is prez again.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? He's done his time; let him enjoy the rest of his life and work for the causes he believes in.
Deletelol. It doesn't work that way.
DeleteIMers and their total lack of knowledge (and reality). lol.
5:04 PM - your wet dream $arah will never be prez either. Talk about lack of knowledge and being taken for ride!
Deletelol. ok 5:55 whatever you say lol.
Delete(bears repeating- total lack of knowledge and reality, and lets add intelligence)
so in your world 5:55, anyone that understands civics and has a brain... must loves sarah and thinks she is going to be 'prez'... 5:55?
you should probably come to grips with the fact that Palin is a nobody. she has been a nobody for quite some time. many years. and she will never be a somebody, 5:55. it is time for you to move on.
6:33 PM - comprehension is not your strong suit.
Deleteawwwe... little butt hurt 7:08?
Deletegot the sads cause ya got called out?
4.56 Yep it can legally happen. President Obama could become President again using that way. Somebody needs to take charge and clean up the mess. He did it once and he will do it again.
Delete5:04 sounds like a valley girl. It has dumb, ignorant, and immature written all over it. The 'lol' is how they (Palins) emote. They dwell in a very shallow pond. To be fair though, it could be some other loser.
DeleteSame Idea for:
DeleteHillary Diane Rodhum Clinton
Ryan could do just that, {3} steps down, less then 3 minutes. wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am.
Chief Justice Roberts witness and confirm.
RESIGN~DONE.
8:19 not only is that not going to happen, it cannot happen. Clinton has no 'right' to the Presidency, no more than you or I.
DeleteAnd this is for you 2:40 (and 4:55 op). Last portion of the 12th Amendment: "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
Not bad for a dumb immature valley girl eh 2:41?
Why don't you all get back to me when either Hillary or Obama are President... in real life, not your dreams lololollololol.
We are a country of orphans with the current situation. I don't consider it as legal or legit.
ReplyDeleteMy president is President Obama. The remaining righteously elected 2 term choice. The best president known.
Until this is legally straighten out President Obama must remain as president until a new election is complete. When the current situation is moot we cannot move forward. When the charges come down on trump and chumps, President Obama and previous President will step in to aid in transition to new President and Cabinet.
DeleteElected by the people. Nov 8th, 2016 Legally>
DeletePresident Hillary Diane Rodhum Clinton
Her lose will be OUR gain.
@7:16 'What Happened'>Math.

2:45 you are so ignorant of reality and the Constitution it is alarming. Go take a civics class at your local community college please. Learn something. Ignorant blathering is so GD annoying.
DeletePlease think on this. There is much happening behind the MSM. And there are Patriots who do not appear to be such in these calamitous, traitorous times. Take a breath and hold your fire.

I still beg to differ, GeorgiaPeach, all due respect to you. I'll believe it when I see it.
Delete@5:38 Well, then, be prepared to be amazed. I promise I won't tell you I told you so. :)
DeleteAnd when you see it, I'll let you buy me a beer.
GeorgiaPeach
Kelly defiled his deceased, once sacred, son for this patriotism?
DeleteI want what G. Peach is smoking but I am with 5:38 PM.
Delete5:21 PM. Stop talking in riddles. If you've got a point to make, just say it.

ReplyDeleteclip 35 She is black and beautiful.
Aah. Brings back good memories of a time in America when we had grace. Now we have an orange sludge. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI just had a vision of who Trump reminded me of. The little evil aliens from the movie Mars Attach. Ack, ack, ack, ack, ack.
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of a evil Grinch that stole Christmas from the who in whoville.

DeleteOT: In the spirit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the DNC is wasting no time shooting themselves in the foot.
ReplyDeleteTom Perez is removing Ellison supporters from key positions. That’s right. The progressives, the grass roots, those that want a change from the failed policies of the past are gone. Not sure who he’s going to replace them with and frankly don’t care.
Bill Maher is right. The Democratic Party are a bunch of pathetic losers.
Don’t look to 2018 to change anything. At this rate Trump will cake-walk to a second term with Republican majorities in both houses continuing.
Just how STUPID are the Democrats?
Mr. Mueller may say not as stupid as putin and trump!
Delete"troubled brow"
ReplyDeleteThese line are becoming permanent at an accelerated pace. Nothing about any of this has been normal.
I knew that President Obama would be held in increasingly high regard as time went on and his presidency, and outstanding personal qualities, were viewed in historical terms.
ReplyDeleteWhat I didn't expect was the many people who did NOT support him during his terms in office realizing what a wonderful president he was before the next administration was even a year old.
I had no doubt history would view him as one of our greatest presidents, but I didn't know 'history' would happen quite so soon!
Coincidentally I have been cleaning out some data storage and have come upon a small stash of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert shows from late 2012 and early 2013. It has been therapeutic watching them again- what a sane world it was then!
