Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life.
And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65."
And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me."
And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck."
That's the U.S. government.
Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldnโt promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this โ not in a million years.
Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. ๐บ๐ธ
@Terrance10K@King_Jasper_@mymixtapez What??!! Tity Boi AKA 2 Chainz had people wearing True religion in 06. His T.R.U. REALigion mixtape dropped in 2011. Chief keef was 11 years old in 06. Started rapping in 08, and blew up in 2012.
Barack and I never did anything alone. Through two national campaigns, eight years in the White House, and in all the years since, we had an incredible team backing us up and pushing us forward.
It was such a joy to be back together with so many of the alumni whoโve supported us over the years. Weโll forever be grateful for their work, and our country is better off thanks to their service. We love you. ๐
