Farewell To Barack Obama

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."-Barack Obama

Farewell To Barack Obama
Pixel.org

The date is November 8th, 2016. The United States of America is pressed with the decision of basically choosing the top or bottom socket of an outlet to stick a fork into. Yes, I am comparing self-electrocution to voting for the new President of The United States. We are given the choices of Mr. Donald Trump, billionaire who has been known to degrade those he disagrees with, as well as the man who just never learned the "talking stick" method of having a conversation. Or on the other side, we have Senator Hillary Clinton, who ran for the Democratic Nominee position in 2008, and has been in the news for her e-mails regarding Benghazi. I refuse to get into the specific details regarding these two candidates. I wouldn't even necessarily call them candidates, anyway. I view these two as America just playing a game of "Pin The Tail on The Donkey", and just seeing where the tail ends up. This article is not to take down any supporters of any side of this free-for-all battle royale. This article is to look at our most recent President, and give him the fondest of farewells. Mainly, because this country may not last another four years. All kidding aside, Barack Obama has been The Prez of Da U.S.A. for 8 years straight. Within these 8 years of him dealing with us whining Americans, he has not only accomplished some major progress with this country, but has also shown us how much of a savage he can truly be.

Slow-Jamming The News

This is just a nice little snippet of when President Barack Obama slow-jammed the news with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, but the entire performance can be found in the title link above.

Obama Kills Fly During Interview

Barack Obama might have been the one and only President to kill an insect on live television. I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty insane.

Obama's Anger Translator

Mr. President's anger translator, Luther, made a special appearance at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner earlier this year just to tell us all what Obama was really thinking.

There are a large number of instances when President Obama shut down reporters due to interruptions, heckling, protests, and for many other reasons. President Barack Obama, thank you for your 8 years of generous and vigorous leadership, even without having the entire country on your side. Thank you for creating and generating such a significant amount of progress within this already great nation of ours. Thank you for all of the times when you walked up to that podium, and realized that America just might need some humor to feel better on a specific day. Thank you for the incredibly hospitable family you brought into The White House once you were elected President, and I thank your family for being one of the best White House Families America has had. To find a family with no dirt and/or scandals against them is a lot harder to come by than you think. The torch of President of The United States of America will be handed off from you come January, and now there's nothing more you can really do. So, enjoy your Hawaiian vacation with your family, and don't worry about us fellow Americans, we'll be alright without you and your BFF Joe Biden. I think...?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
