He'll continue.to be in the public eye for a very long time...The fact that he and Michelle are buying a house in D.C. makes me that much

more sure of it.

sobbing really and had to walk away after Orlando for a few minutes. Not long saw it all yet cried throughout. The whole program made me cry, tears of Sadness. Hope. Joy.

Ya, I really did see him, I was very emotional. Dayum. I love that man.

I have to keep something near to keep my eyes dry.

I'm glad Obama started with the Boston convention 12 years ago. I still remember being blown away, and hoping that some day we could have him as president.

"The skinny kid with the funny name."

I am infinitely grateful that he is still with us. I hope the same for Hillary in the years ahead.

I used my sun dress. It worked for me. Dayum I balled my eyes out when they started Orlando. I continued clapping, crying and laughing for the rest.

Love him.

He will always be around. She will as our President. Fact.
