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!

We will need all the luck we can get. Obama may have been flawed like every human being, but I never doubted his intentions, intelligence, and integrity. He listened. He was thoughtful. I always knew that his dream for America was like mine. He might not have all the answers, but he had the right goals. His heart was in the right place. I trusted him. How often can you say all that about a politician? My kids have only ever known his presidency and I loved that.

I am really worried about the next four years. But clearly our nation has some serious problems we need to address. Trump is a symptom of the illness festering within our nation. I would have thought it was impossible to take such a large step backwards, but we did. Now to take the steps forward needed to regain that lost ground.
