2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Happy Birthday President Obama [View all]True Dough
(17,304 posts)1. It's his final birthday in the White House
Both celebratory and sad at the same time. I genuinely see the wisdom in two-term limits for the POTUS. Far too many politicians have allowed power to corrupt them, but Obama is going out with his head held high and an approval rating that is climbing, indicating that even his detractors are finally realizing that this principled man has accomplished much despite rampant obstructionism.
