I didn't vote for Obama, but I always admired his eloquence and style. Great sense of humor too.  I could appreciate his brilliance.  President of law review at Harvard was certainly impressive.    But Pitts is correct, young Obama was naive.  Just a little too innocent and trusting.  He didn't realize that there were monsters like Trump that would doggedly pursue him with a birther conspiracy throughout his entire presidency.  I watched Obama grow old and somber in 8 short years.  Today I just feel bad.  I didn't vote for him but doggone it, I'm going to miss him.
