THANK YOU, PRESIDENT OBAMA.

I am proud that two of our children were able to spend their entire early childhoods in an America under this leader. A man I have often disagreed with, but always had respect for and believed in his love and commitment to a big-visioned, inclusive world, in a world often filled with mean-spiritedness, unkindness, and lackadaisical thinking. Thank you, Mr. President. Their younger brother faces a different sort of situation. #farewellobama #barackobama
