Trump and Pence are not the only reasons to be sad

Oh wow, I'm glad to see I'm not the only American mourning Obama's departure. I'm not sure if he'll go down as one of the greats, but I honestly admire the guy. He walked into a mess and he did his damned best to clean it up, despite all the shit he had to put up with from Congress, and the Tea Party, and shit stations like Fox news.... we were fortunate to have him as the leader of our country, and I'm hoping that history will honor his time in office as our media for the past 8 years has failed to do. 

It feels really weird to me, because he stepped into the White House when I was about 12 years old, and now he's leaving when I'm 20. My entire adolescence and a portion of my young adulthood was spent thinking of him as my president. It's feels... off, I guess, just to imagine someone taking his place.

Believe me, it's not just Americans who are mourning his departure
