1. how many children, even of his base, look up in admiration at the bloated orange pig?

the Obama's were (ARE!!!) such good role models.

2. Lovely pics

Thanks

3. So many strong emotions.

I miss them like family. So sad for where we are now as a country.
Cried like a baby.

4. That's why I put the bittersweet tears warning on the post...me too.

5. I love that family. So authentic. Children know when you're real and whose fake.

That's what I like about the Obamas. They didn't need $50,000 designer outfits to look fabulous. Children always felt safe with President Obama, and always wanted to touch his hair. God I miss them.

6. It is so sad that America went from such a great couple in the White House to the POS we now have.

7. Gorgeous

Laughing and crying

8. Why I said bittersweet. Such a contrast to present time.

10. The word is authentic - you can't fake it with kids

Truly beautiful

14. Hoped the sweet would outweight the bitter...

15. Good!

11. I honestly thought I could watch that without getting emotional

but boy-oh-boy you would have to be a rock not to have that affect you - or an asshole Republican.

I hope that there is another Obama in this country and the Dems can discover him or her to bail our butts out.

Proud to say I was lucky enough to have met them both and I have memories that will always be fresh.

12. Can't wait

to watch it! Thanks!

13. Emotions

Just a decent human being, trying to make the world better by being human

16. It honestly breaks my heart to remember how great our

country was with President & Mrs. Obama. Watching this brings me to tears.

[Amaryllis]

17. Hope it also brought you a few smiles. :)

[A Brand New World]

22. Oh yes, there were many smiles as well!

Those two are some of the awesomest people on this Earth!

[Lonestarblue]

18. Many thanks!

I’m going to go dry my eyes now and have a drink. My heart breaks for what we had and what we have now.

19. Just makes me hate the orange turd in the White House all that much more.

But fer fuck's sake, why did the video maker choose the most irritatingly saccharine and artless and soul-destroying song ever written? Fuck. Had to turn the sound off to watch the video.

The Obamas were an absolute class act all the way around. I can't imagine Psuedo-King Shitpot ever doing these things with children, even his own. I bet he was a pretty hands off dad. Book time must have been a nightmare. "Jesus, how many pages in this book? Ten? What am I, a nerd? I'm not reading that shit to you. Here, let me tell you about me."

20. What. A. CLASS. Act.

That is all.

21. Thank you

for this bittersweet video Amaryllis. At 3:50, was that the baby that stopped crying when Mr. Obama held them?

23. Thanks for posting.

Grace and beauty were in our midst.

24. Look at the people smiling in the background

It's not just the kids who are right next to him. Almost everyone in the background, as far as you can see, is just beaming. That's what happens when people are meeting with hope and generosity instead of gathering in an atmosphere of spite and selfishness.

Thanks for posting.
