Love that huge grin. Let him soar for now.

But, Effie you and I both know he is still working quietly. That is who he is. He was treated deplorably. Yet the man is a true patriot and may the birthers, including the current 'Resident and his wife go eff themselves for denying his birth as an American citizen. Obama then and now has never sought the lime light to do his work. He did not need to.

The man is incredibly awesome and I miss him every dayum day. He should have flipped them all the bird, yet he won't. He loves his country to much for that.
