And how cool would it be if the first Africa-American president was followed by the first woman president, followed by the first Latino president? That would be pretty awesome.

Did you look over the part in your own link where Kennedy said he shouldn’t have been so ideologically rigid?

Hillary tried to do single payer back in the 90's and again in the 2000's with the help of Ted Kennedy, and guess what, congress and the American people shut it down.

he’s one of the few non-millionaires in the Senate so he IS different.

It’s not sexist that you don’t want to vote for Clinton. It’s sexist that a guy who lost by every conceivable measure is acting like he has some right to dictate her positions.

Of course politicians have egos! Duh! Bernie and his stans really liked to play up the “I’m honest and an outsider! I’m doing this for the poor!” schtick. Dude no. He’s a politician like the rest of them no matter how much he and his supporters want to pretend he’s different.

“We’re fighting against too much government spending, unless our guy does it, in which case, it’s peanuts!”

The whole "happiest place on earth" line annoys me to no end. I've been there on business a couple of times (our company is based down there, so the mass amounts of hotels makes it a default gathering place), and we end up intersecting with the rest of the tourist bunch quite often. I've never seen so many…

I was having a debate in step with this the other night. My main point is that it’s troubling that Sanders is continuing a campaign supposedly to exercise the will of the people, but the people have spoken and they didn’t pick him. To continue on with this just shows he’s not really that different from every other old…

The Obamas are a once in a lifetime Presideential Family. The American public sprayed them with filth and invective and they literally got more beautiful. We are not worthy of them.

So you wish we had more boots on the ground overseas, millions of soldiers deployed? Or you want to build an impermeable dome over all of the US, no entrance, no exit? What exactly is your alternative plan here, Mr. Foreign Policy Expert?

I’ll add that I think Obama has had to deal with an epic amount of bs from the rabid right who uses overt racism as a tool and weapon against him.

You do realize the entire family are regularly called monkeys and niggers and suchlike? I see no need to get into some “Which family has been treated more unfairly by the right wing” competition.

True though I will say that Chelsea was called a pig by Rush Limbaugh when she was 13 and roundly mocked while people called the Clintons murderers and all sorts of horrible shit. I’m not even a huge Hillary fan but I think a lot of hate hurled her way is because of the really horrible stuff they said about her in the…

He’s a middle-aged father. Nothing more can be done.

Poised, articulate, and intelligent. Plus, the ‘rents are both hilar!!!

Not really a surprise. Their parents didn’t exactly come from the shallow end of the gene pool.

The Obamas are a class act, all four of them, and I maintain that Michelle is the classiest* First Lady since Jackie Kennedy. I will miss them sooooo much.

Honestly, the US didn’t deserve the Obamas. The crap we put them through was shameless, and they handled it with such poise and grace. Also, yay, National Parks!

There is no doubt in my mind that he IS going to be remembered as one of the best presidents we’ve had. Thank you, Mr. President.
