This is a President who worked his ass off for 8 long years for the American people, not just the Democrats who voted for him.

He may have been sometimes too centerist for me, AND I knew he took his job, and it's responsibility very seriously.
I have deep serious respect for him.

But if the job did that to him imagine what it’s done to Dump. I saw a clip of him from 2015 and he looks about 50 pounds heavier and about 10 years older now.

In the first one he looks like a kid! All bright and eager to work towards the betterment of our country. In the last one he looks seasoned. He learned so much in eight years. Things we can only imagine. Thank you President Obama.
