Presidency at its best. #Obama

Obama: "Values every president here today, as different as we are, has tried our best to uphold. Values that John McCain and Mitt Romney believed in no less than I did."

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Michelle Obama to Barack: "How absurd it is to even imagine that you might have buckled under the pressure even once. Lashed out in frustration. Lost your temper. How absurd it is to imagine that you might have done anything but make our family and this entire country proud."

Michelle Obama: Not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you… the claims that a U.S. Senator and constitutional law expert wasn't qualified for the job. The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism, the outrage when you stated the biological fact that if you'd had a son that he too would be black, yet you were unflappable at every turn, always focused.

Barack Obama speaks out against Donald Trump after a racist AI-generated video depicting him and Michelle Obama as apes was shared on Trump’s Truth Social account:

"I don’t take it personally. I mean, I’m always offended when my wife and kids get dragged into things, because they didn’t choose this…That’s a line that even people whose politics I deeply reject, I would expect them to care about. I would never talk about somebody’s family in that way." According to the New Yorker article, Obama said he was more concerned about AI-generated videos Trump has posted that treat war “like a video game” and show “excrement dumped on ordinary citizens.” “I mean, I’m a fair target in the sense of, yeah, you can feel free to pick on me, because I’m your own size,” he said.

“You know, it is true that it gets attention. It’s true that it’s a distraction. But, you know, as I’m traveling around the country, as you’re traveling around the country, you meet people. They still believe in decency, courtesy, kindness. And there’s this sort of clown show that’s happening in social media and on television. And what is true is that there doesn’t seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sort of decorum. And a sense of propriety and respect for the office, right? So that’s been lost.”

O President, my president...

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

@TheStoryShorey Will miss you telling the stories, Ethan. Good luck & wish you all the best in your next chapter.

@mikejwhelan I'm so sorry, Michael. Thank you for sharing Rebecca's & your journeys with us. The love will always be there, just on a different plane.

[Jean M. Medeiros @MedeirosWrites]

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

To all those who bravely served our country, thank you to you and your family for your extraordinary service. The sacrifices that all of you have made to protect our country will be honored, today and every day.

Mr. President, my President

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

@mikejwhelan Congratulations on another publication! Ordered & and expected delivery on Tuesday. Enjoyed your chapters from the book, so I'm looking forward to reading the rest.

[Jean M. Medeiros @MedeirosWrites]

@mikejwhelan So awful for both of you, Michael. Prayers and comforting thoughts to you and Rebecca. 🙏

UNCONTROVERSIAL FACT: Slavery was bad.

I cannot fathom how anyone can see this ignorance from the President and think he’s fit for the job. And that’s being kind.
