And then imagine, if you will, how our current Dear leader might respond.
No "quiet piggy", no "why don't you ever smile", no "you're a terrible person"...just a great response from a regular human being.
Oh, what we have lost.
This is a one minute and thirty nine second Reddit video. Unmute the video in the bottom right of the screen.

Our beloved President was in it to make our lives better, not to make his life better or richer. The same reasons that HRC ran. The sane reasons Joe Biden ran. The same reasons Kamala Harris ran.
Here's one example of PBO listening to a heckler. There's so many examples of his articulate and generous demeanor.

(12,300 posts)Here's another clip of our beloved President responding to an apparent veteran and supporter of TSF.
Another point that I wanted to make earlier (I've been a tad tired the last few days so bear with me) is that Obama was raised by people who showed love and he had a support system. There's a stark difference on how they were raised.
I read Mary Trump's book and she basically said that her grandfather was too busy making money and being gone all the time. She said that her grandmother stopped taking care of her own children and the older kids had to take care of the younger children.
Her father was ridiculed by both her grandfather and uncle, her father Fredrick Jr. was suppose to have been the one taking over the family business. He went into the military and became a pilot instead and they ridiculed him apparently his career choice was beneath the Trumps "standards". *cough, cough, cough*

I can't imagine Trump acting anywhere near Obama's reaction.
I hope you had a nice day at work, and thanks for the video!

Trump's mentally a petulant man child where Obama is mentally an actual adult.
I had a lovely temp client today. I hope that I get to care for her again. You're so welcome!
Have a beautiful day, Lucky. Don't be outside working yourself to heat exhaustion. It's really humid here today.

I've been working outside...it was OK before the rain came, now it's humid as hell.
I hope you get to care for your new client again!
