I, too, will miss having President Barack Hussein Obama as the leader of our country. And I will never understand those who spoke SO negatively about and to him. I know that was mostly racist based but I also think that a lot of people just didn’t understand the man. He’s a quiet man-an introvert like myself. But he’s pragmatic, diplomatic, very intelligent, kind and yes, he can write and deliver speeches that are so beautiful.

I started getting melancholy last summer when it dawned on me that he had just months left to serve-that WE had just months left of him. His quiet but deep faith mixed in with just being super cool. It’s my personal view that President Obama is and was the best President that has served since I was born (1957).

Hillary will win the election and I am confident that she will be…fine. It’s just that I doubt that any President, during my life time, will deliver his/her message with same confidence and wisdom in which President Obama lilt his.

And out of respect for him, I will stop eating the 7 slightly salty almonds that I started eating nightly after reading this piece about him-http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/07/03/us/politics/obama-after-dark-the-precious-hours-alone.html
