I just realized that I'm glad Obama is leaving. [View all]

The Huffington Post published a photo of our beloved President enjoying the ocean in Hawaii and it made me smile. Yes, his complete opposite is probably going to take over and get us all killed, but Obama needs a rest. He was POTUS for eight long years, fighting long and hard for every progressive action he put into place.The job must have shorten his life. God knows he needs to relax now and spend time with his wonderful family. I also hope he makes a bazillion dollars for every speech he gives as a private citizen. I'm happy for him. (But, of course, terrified for the rest of us.)
