Now the democratic party needs to rally behind her. None of this Bernie or bust crap, unless you secretly want Trump to be president. Though honestly, I wish we could keep Obama another four years.
I teared up again.
Obama has been DYING to get on this train.
Yep— the bulletproof vest under the designer suit, the iron fist in the velvet glove, backwards in heels, pick your metaphor. All the extra shit women gotta do.
Agreed! I saw a tweet yesterday that said something like: “The first black president’s daughter is going to cast her fist vote for a woman.” and I was like....DAMN. Yes she is! (I mean probably - I assume Malia is a democrat...?)
I had no idea she had to wear a bulletproof vest. That’s so incredibly sad, but I shouldn’t be as surprised as I am.
I’m from Massachusetts, where older folks have portraits of JFK hanging in their kitchens (and in, like, every fucking pub in the city). I didn’t get it for a long time until one day reading about President Obama and suddenly being all “Oh.” So I think I’m going to put a portrait of the President up in my kitchen, and…

I totally understand...and if i have to defend myself as a woman voting for a woman to another goddamned person...I swear to god.
I was just thinking about this. My oldest is 7 and my youngest is 1 so they were all born while Obama was president. If Hillary wins (especially if she wins a second term) their entire childhoods will take place without a white male president. Pretty cool.

President Obama attended Punahou High School on the island of Oahu. I, as the son of a Marine Corp Colonel attended St. Louis High School as a 7th grader in 1990, so of course we were not contemporaries. Punahou is routinely voted the finest private school in the USA. At St. Louis we were the Polynesians, the…

I just want to say how awesome it is that our country’s first black president just endorsed our (hopefully) first woman president.
So have your friends actually ever compared their standpoints on major issues because they’re nooooot very different.
Shortly thereafter, POTUS sent the following DM on Instagram to Bernie:
I am looking forward to Madam President but I am really going to miss Obama. Such a dignified man. Proud to have him as my President.
Good. Maybe now all my friends who can’t stop talking about how much better Obama is than Hillary and how she’s the devil incarnate but he is sent from God above will actually shut the hell up.
