This last year is going to shake things up. Remember how Bush lost interest and kinda pooped out his last 2 years? Not this president. He's working until the last day.

.....he's done more for the American people than any President since I've been born (and that's 12 Presidents, scary thought!!)

And despite the underlying racism he's had to endure, he's also one of the most beloved Presidents in our history. He's not some lofty leader way above our level, he IS one of us! I'm going to enjoy this last year of his Presidency and miss him after next January.

PS - Cha, are you anywhere near where he was born or vacations? I know it will be in Chicago, but wouldn't it be great if the Obama Presidential Library wound up in Hawaii?

and they can't be bothered to learn.. they'd just rather ask a silly question about what happened to him.. LOL

He is so one of us.. I love him and will miss him as Prez .. thankfully Hillary will be coming in and she will be so beneficial for our Country.

Actually there will be news(online) about what all the President is doing after he leaves Office that I'm hoping we won't have to miss him at all!

I'm on Kauai.. President Obama is on Oahu 100 miles away through the channel.. That's right.. I'm only 100 miles away from Obama.. Closest I've ever been! LOL

I think he should have two Presidential Libraries. One for his sweet home Chicago and one for where he was born and raised in Hawaii. Ya got that, ya dumb birthers?

Happy New Year, George~
