Thanking the Obamas

Sun., Dec. 18, 2016

President Obama is a fine man and he has done a decent job. His wife, Michelle, is of the highest caliber, “going high when they go low.” Imagine what he could have accomplished if only Congress had worked with him instead of against him. Perhaps, had Congress done their job the last eight years, we wouldn’t have a divided country that felt the need for the likes of Trump.

Do you really think this nearly same Congress will work with Trump? Imagine what will happen if they do. Or if they don’t.

Thank you, President and Michelle Obama. You are classy people.
