The silver tongued devil is so full of himself... He was also a President manipulated into position! My opinion is not in relation to his biracial status or in any way negative toward his ethnicity. That factor, from my view should have been a benefit enhancing his abilities. I will give him credit for his intellect and overcoming the disparities of his family dysfunction, but he certainly was not the President in which the legacy now promoted!
National Parks ARE FOR THE PEOPLE! They must never be destroyed for government’s purposes!

We're never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we're one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one's destiny. More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in our flaws are what defines our features, they're uniquely ours, as human creatures. We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night. Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark. by Steven Gooden

@Urthis Phlat He is a Constitutional lawyer, so he adhered to the foundation of democracy. He is highly intelligent and conferred with all the top experts in their fields. He gave hundreds of thousands access to affordable healthcare (he tried to get Universal coverage but GOP majority in Senate blocked that) , drove down the debt, entered The Paris Climate accords, strengthened our NATO connections. I could go on. The tragedy is that after his first two years, Republicans blocked so much he tried to do, even things they would normally agree on, just so they could deny him wins and gain power.

Ol' Joey is too far gone...he is now in/out of lucid moments, but arrogant Cama-la was set up in her placement...just as her previous ladder climbs! The steam rising off her can be felt through our screens LOL She bit that hook hard, I have zero compassion for her...it's simply karma returning to her egotistical immortal history. My wise father advised protection of your respectability bc it's so easily lost and never really fully regained once lost...

I too consider myself conservative. However the Republican party has no platform and continues to support policies that hurts our environment and no plan for addressing climate change... They didn't pass healthcare or infrastructure....I dont agree with many Democrat policies but I do appreciate that they at least try to tackle the big challenges facing our future and get something passed.... If Trump is the Republican candidate and unless the Republican party stands for something besides whatever Trump wants, I will vote Democrat.... I dont understand the current Republican part and can not in good faith support them....

As a protestant Christian, it reminded me of the Holy Book when it says, "Then the Lord God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it." (genesis 2:15). It also says, "God will judge and destroy those who destroy the earth.." (Revelation 11;18). I am yet to see an African president who can embrace life after the presidency and continue to serve people and nations, like Obama family is doing. God bless these good people.
