Good luck, Americans

Eight years ago, I remember going to bed thinking that tomorrow would be better. This time, I know it will be worse.

I do not think that I will ever be able to forget that so-called Christian Americans chose to vote for a serial adulterer whose campaign was driven by racism and sexism and whose business record is littered with profits made at the excuse of the average worker, rather than a woman.

Goodbye, Obamas. You remain people to admire and I am happy I saw you in the White House. I will remember you constantly over the coming up-to-four years.

The only good news today is that they have found survivors in that hotel in Abruzzo. That is cheering!

I'm heartsick. and wondering what is going to happen to us when the Republicans try to dismantle or do dismantle Medicare and the Affordable Health Care Act.

People who voted for him are just beginning to realize that Obamacare and AHCA are the same thing and don't want it dismantled; they like their insurance.

20 million people and all the seniors who will be left with nothing but vouchers and no coverage if they get their way.

We just have to keep fighting and being aware and staying alert and not getting apathetic or giving in to anxiety and fear or hate.

We can. I prayed for someone to be a leader and Mr Obama is one.

He's going to write a book. The people who hated him are going to try to destroy his legacy and his image and everything he accomplished but it won't work. There are too many of us who believe in him and what he stood for and his optimism for our country and democracy.
