I like to think it’s Obama being Obama.

I know. And he says it in his last year too, as if he still isn’t used to it. And look at that picture of Lincoln on the wall. It’s all very poignant.

I know. He says the BEST things.

My husband calls them “Y’all-Qaeda.”

Do you read the Humans of New York posts on Facebook? His recent trip to refugee camps honestly changed my mind about how much we need to help. I know he obviously is able to shape a narrative and only post the most sympathetic stories, but their experiences really showed me how dire the situation is and that America…

That’s the best line of the post.

I’m a Scully in the streets and Mulder in the sheets.

god fucking bless you, Madeleine.
