Tomorrow marks the end of an era. Hate him or love him, Donald Trump will become the President of the United States. He doesn’t deserve it and sure as hell doesn’t have the temperament for it. He is not “my” president. Even saying that, I truly do wish him the best. Why? Because if he fails, America fails, and I refuse to fail.
BUT… Today is President Obama’s last full day as Commander-In-Chief and I want to honor him. He is the epitome of class and dignity. I will miss him, I swear, it feels like I’m losing a friend. So, in honor of “my” president, here are some of his best quotes:
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
"We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent."
"You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you."
“We are big and vast and diverse; a nation of people with different backgrounds and beliefs, different experiences and stories, but bound by our shared ideal that no matter who you are or what you look like, how you started off, or how and who you love, America is a place where you can write your own destiny.”
"My fellow Americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you. I won't stop; in fact, I will be right there with you, as a citizen, for all my remaining days ... I am asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change -- but in yours."
Well, it's been a great ride President Obama. Thank you for all that you have done. I wish you nothing but the best.
(I'm not sure what next week's post will be about. Give me some ideas in the comments if you like!)
