Tweet from President Barack Obama

My apologies if this has already been posted...

All right, let's try something new. If you’re in the United States, send me a text at 773-365-9687 — I want to hear how you're doing, what's on your mind, and how you're planning on voting this year.

I'll be in touch from time to time to share what's on my mind, too. https://pic.twitter.com/NX91bSqbtG

I'm sure it's automated. When I'm wide awake in the morning, I'm texting. I'll probably be donating as well.

It's just fun to put him in my contacts!

JEEZ I miss those two.

All of the so called Dems who spent 8 years nitpicking on the Obamas should feel like real asshats right about now.

Good Morning President Obama! We sure do miss you! What's happening in this country right now is insane. Trump wants to be a dictator! I'm so tired of his divisive rhetoric and actions. This country has fallen so far in the time he was "elected". I miss your calm, steady leadership. I never worried when you were steering this great diverse ship that we call the United States. It sort of feels like the Titanic floating towards an iceberg right now. Please help save our Democracy.
