I will miss this President immensely. I don't think we'll have a cooler, funnier President ever.

(19,569 posts)Like you said, he's also cool and funny, not to mention intelligent, but not in that way that alienates anyone else not as bright as him. He's too personable to be that like that.

(15,139 posts)personally, and for all the shit he's had to endure, he's been a great example of what a President should be -- intelligent, confident, and assured. He's as close as any modern President has come to the JFK charm and charisma. Given what he's been up against, he's carried himself with dignity and grace -- never losing his cool. Every American should be grateful we had someone like him in the White House after the nightmare of the Bush years.

(22,666 posts)I'm going to REALLY miss the Obamas. It's been a pleasure having them as our First Family. It's been a real pleasure not having to be embarrassed by our President (like the 8-year-long red-faced embarrassment Bush II made us suffer -- not to mention the extreme damage he did).
