Another depressing part of this election

[Monster]

No matter what your thoughts are of President Obama, I think we can all admit that he's a good guy. Hell, his whole family is genuine and really seem to care about other people. I know his politics don't always align with everyone, but his motivations seem good.

Whichever candidate wins will not have that going for them. Hillary and Trump are both terrible people that have no problems stepping on others to get what they want. I think a lot of us are voting for the candidate purely because we know there could be two or three SCOTUS seats open up over the next 4-8 years. Many others are voting third party because they can't stomach either of them.

I don't always agree with Obama, but I think if you put politics aside, the man might be the most likable president in decades. Shit, even W Bush had some redeemable qualities that I admired. Of course that attribute doesn't always make for a good leader, but I'll miss having a president that I actually like.

Dubya did kinda seem like a guy it would be fun to hang out and drink a few beers with, if you could get past the fact he's sort of a buffoon at most times. If they remade Animal House with past presidents, he would definitely play Bluto.

Dubya considered himself to be in substance abuse recovery, and hadn't had a drink for years before becoming president.

I guess a person could drink a few beers with him while Dubya had something non-alcoholic.

Say what you will about Obama, he's handled everything thrown his way with complete class. And Michelle is probably one of the most well-spoken people I've heard in my life.

Exactly. Trump and Hillary can barely handle real controversy. Imagine if they had to go through what President Obama has had to. His family has been dragged through the mud and aside from some irritation and gray hairs, he's stayed above those people.

Remember in 2008, Conservatives tried to say she hated white people and America? Yeah, that's dumb.

People talk about the presidency causing gray hair, but I think that's nonsense.

Presidents typically assume office at a time in life when men-so far they've all been men-are prone to go gray over the course of the next eight years.

I am within 11 months of Obama's age and I am about as much more gray than I was eight years ago and I haven't even been the president.

Look at all these Hollywood actors suddenly looking a lot more old and gray then we remember them and they haven't even been the president either.

The only president in modern memory who had the same jet black hair the day he left
office as he did when he took office was Reagan.

If Trump is elected I'm sure he'll still have that same stupid orange hair from the day he takes office right up until the day he's impeached and removed.
