A few thoughts on Barack Obama

[sheshe2]

Last night, President Barack Obama gave one of the greatest convention speeches in US political history. Like a seasoned preacher, he knew when to bring the crowd up, when to bring it down, and when to drive it into a frenzy. He laid out the case for Hillary Clinton to succeed him, as one-time adversaries became close friends.

While I have no doubt that Mrs. Clinton will be an excellent president and carve out her own storied legacy, we'll never see the like of Barack Obama again. He is a once in a century figure. Last night reminded us of that.

1. I agree

[tonyt53]

2. Hopefully we won't see the last of him. I'd bet we see a lot of him running up to November too.

Obama has some well-deserved paybacks to a lot of the GOP.

3. President Obama hit a grand slam.

I'm fired up and ready to help elect the woman to whom he's passing the baton.

Let's win the Senate too!

While I did not agree with him on his "look forward not backward" position. I think he has been the best President of my lifetime, which has roughy been half a century...
I am going miss his leadership very much.

Thank you Mr. President for all you have done in the last 7.5 years!

9. Oh my. Half a decade?

I think you might mean half a century there!
Unless you're really, really gifted.

14. Oop...

Yes... Half a century...

Half a decade sounded better...

Thanks.

And I think history will treat him very kindly.

"As long as I am president..."

8. I wouldn't mind a President Hillary Clinton nominating Barack Obama to the

US Supreme Court next year.

Just a thought.....

10. He's not going anywhere.

We will get to see his like for many years to come. He has a great deal more positive impact to make on this country, and I, for one, have exactly zero doubt that is what will happen.

ps...about his speech, I love when he cracks himself up. I kept waiting, and he almost got there a couple times, but alas, no crack up. Great speech, otherwise.

12. When he mentioned birth certificates...

he said it with a straight face. I loved the part about his grandparents in Kansas and what people respected. It gave me some insight why he's the way he is.

11. I predict Obama will become known as the 2nd best ex-President ever (after Jimmy Carter)...

... and one of the best to ever serve.

History will be kind to Barack Obama.

13. But he's earned it-- a thousand times over

He's worked his tail off the past 7.5 years and has brought about so many positive changes-- how can we ever
thank him?

After the debacle of W, he restored honor to America in a big way. I'll never forget when he gave that speech in Berlin to some 200,000 people-- and he wasn't even president yet!! That was amazing.
