giving their last look at the Washington monument on social media and I just started to choke. I wasn't the biggest Obama fan even-but I LOVE Michelle and their kids and their class and dignity and it's too much. From them to a sociopath conman. Sorry about your health care. Hopefully something will be kept to keep it going.

we need each on DU more than ever.
Courage.

And yes I have shed a couple tears today. I told my wife that today was Obama's last day and we both cried publicly at lunch.
