Sane days.


I worked from home that day.
I took a photo of myself in front of the tv while President Obama was being sworn in.
That was such a fucking great day.
It was scary, though:
all the damage the GOP (Bush/Cheney) did—sending us spiraling down toward another depression; and wondering if we were going to be make it through. I remember hearing the news saying small companies would be crushed in the coming years, and even some of the larger companies were going to go down. It was scary. I had a job, and made it through most of it with that job.
Thanks to President Obama, we were able to make it through those hard times.
Can you imagine what would have happened if Trump had been elected in 2008?
I said it then (and took hard hits from my extreme left wing friends), and I'll say it again...Obama will go down as one of the best Presidents the U.S. has had.
It was nice waking up each day knowing President Obama was at the helm.

1. He is a racist/Birtherism BS
2. His thin skinned mega ego couldn't take a joke (that he deserved about birtherism) at a White House Correspondents Dinner which happened to be the night that Bin Laden was being taken out by Navy Seals. Obama was cool as ever and 45 sat there turning red and smoke came out of his ears.

He is a petty, spiteful, weak excuse for a human being.
