Merry Christmas!!!

President Obama's Inauguration Day letter to 45!

Dear Mr. President -

Congratulations on a remarkable run.   Millions have placed their hopes in you, and all of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure.

This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don't know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful.   Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years.

First, we've both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune.   Not everyone is so lucky.   It's up to us to do everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that's willing to work hard.

Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable.   It's up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that's expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend.

Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office.   That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions -- like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties -- that our forebears fought and bled for.   Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it's up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them.

And finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family.   They'll get you through the inevitable rough patches.

Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can.

Good luck and Godspeed,
BO

"Heaven and Hell"

Welcome to Hell!

BERLIN — Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, Europe’s most influential leader, has concluded, after three days of trans-Atlantic meetings, that the United States of President Trump is not the reliable partner her country and the Continent have automatically depended on in the past.

Clearly disappointed with Mr. Trump’s positions on NATO, Russia, climate change and trade, Ms. Merkel said in Munich on Sunday that traditional alliances were no longer as steadfast as they once were and that Europe should pay more attention to its own interests “and really take our fate into our own hands.”

“The times in which we could rely fully on others — they are somewhat over,” Ms. Merkel added, speaking on the campaign trail after a contentious NATO summit meeting in Brussels and a Group of 7 meeting in Italy. “This is what I experienced in the last few days.”

Ms. Merkel’s strong comments were a potentially seismic shift in trans-Atlantic relations. With the United States less willing to intervene overseas, Germany is becoming an increasingly dominant power in a partnership with France.

Happy President's Day! Not you 45!!!

Yes Mr. President! I really, really do miss you!

I will never ever refer to that Orangutan as "President" Trump!   (Even though I just did...UGH!)   Hopefully, he'll be gone within a year!

When can you come back???

And Still...I Rise!

Welcome to The White House!

From CLASS!

To CRASS!!!

Happy New Year! Love...The Donald!

World!   I present to you the President-Elect of the United States of America!   Hold on...let me take the gun out of my mouth!

Perhaps a Good New Year's Resolution?

I found this posted by a dude named Todd20036 on another blog that I follow.   He say's it was originally posted somewhere within the comments section of the Washington Post's website...but I searched the website and couldn't find it!   I think it's worthy of a repost and perhaps will be my New Year's mantra!

I'm just sayin'!

Todd said in his original post...and I quote...Get used to this".

"Alt-truth".

"It's how Hitler enthralled the masses, and it's how Trump works his base"

And here's the comment Todd20036 extracted from the Washington Post's website!   It's too good to ignore.

I listened as you called my President a Muslim.
I listened as you called him and his family a pack of monkeys.
I listened as you said he wasn't born here.
I watched as you blocked every single path to progress that you could.
I saw the pictures you made of him as Hitler.
I watched you shut down the government and hurt the entire nation, twice.
I watched you turn your backs on every opportunity to open a worthwhile dialog.
I watched you say that you would not even listen to any choice for Supreme Court no matter who the nominee was.
I listened as you openly said that you will oppose him at every turn.
I watched as you did just that.
I listened.
I watched.
I paid attention.
Now, I'm being called on to be tolerant.
To move forward.
To denounce protesters.
To "Get over it."
To accept this...

I will not.
I will do my part to make sure, this great American mistake, becomes the embarrassing footnote of our history that it deserves to be.
I will do this as quickly as possible, every chance I get.
I will do my part to limit the damage that this man can do to my country. I will watch his every move and point out every single mistake and misdeed in a loud and proud voice.
I will let you know in a loud voice every time this man backs away from a promise he made to you.
The people who voted for him. Yes you, the ones who sold their souls and prayed for him to win.
I will do this so that you never forget.
And you will hear me.
You will see it in my eyes when I look at you.
You will hear it in my voice when I talk to you.
You will know that I know who you are.
You will know that I know what you are.
Do not call for my tolerance. I've tolerated all I can.
Now it's your turn to tolerate the ridicule.
Be aware; make no mistake about it, every single thing that goes wrong in our country from this day forward is now Trump's fault just as much as you thought it was Obama's.
I find it unreasonable for you to expect from me, what you were entirely unwilling to give."

You wanted him! You got Him! Now deal with it!

Americans wanted Hillary to be P.O.T.U.S. by almost 3 million votes!   But you *ssholes wanted him...so deal deal with it!

You got what you asked for!

We are "our brothers keepers"!

Damn, I'm gonna miss these two!   One day Americas will wake up and realize the same!   Truly a class act!

R.I.P. America!

Enough said!

Only in America!

Graydon Carter recently wrote this article for Vanity Fair.   Unfortunately, I don't think many of "The Deplorables" read Vanity Fair.   Hell...I wonder if half of them even read a newspaper!

Here are a few excerpts from the article:

Only in America could a serial bankrupt pass himself off as a successful businessman. (And almost none of those he bankrupted were even regular businesses. They were casinos—where people essentially come to lose their money.)

Only in America could a man who offended Hispanics, Muslims, Jews, and African-Americans, as well as women, babies, and the handicapped, become the Republican nominee for president.

Only in America could a man for whom truth is an inconvenient concept feel comfortable referring to his opponent as “lying” and “crooked.”

Only in America could a man who brags about groping and kissing women without their consent win 53 percent of the vote among white women.

Only in America could a man who avoided the draft—with a deferment for pesky bone spurs on his feet, which somehow did not hinder him from playing tennis—and who insulted war heroes and their families become the commander in chief of the greatest military power on earth.

FLOTUS! Gonna miss you!

No words needed!   Is Melania Trump gonna keep up the White House Garden?

Oh no...never mind...she's focused on anti-bullying!

Tweet or Nuke?

As I'm sure you've already heard, the Canadian Immigration website crashed the day after the election!

Der Spiegel!

"The United States has voted for a dangerously inexperienced and racist man -- one who was swept into the White House by an army of disenfranchised white working- and middle class Americans. It's a movement that now threatens democracy around the world."

More @ Der Spegiel!

Good Morning America!

You asked for it Red America!   You got it!   Enjoy!   Meanwhile...I'm going to go and mix another drink!   And then another, and another, and another...and more and more!!!

This Election was RIGGED!!!

The Divided States of America!
Needless to say...I'm in a state of shock!
Aside from that...I'm;

• distraught
• disheartened
• depressed

Hell...I can't even apply to go to Canada....the site crashed!

FLOTUS! You go girl!

The above collage is from Malia Obama's You Tube Channel!
Ms. Michelle knocked it outta da' park!!!   Rockin' that Versace!
Damn...I'm gonna miss them.   Truly a class act!

How cool would it be for FLOTUS to become the POTUS!!!
