All I can say is Obama was a loved, trusted, honorable, decent, upstanding president in every way. Trump will not be any of these things and he will not bridge the gap that has polarized this country.

I think we need more people with powerful voices like Meryl to speak out.

You know, they want to act like we shouldn’t be upset that Obama and Biden are leaving. I even heard a woman blame Obama for trump being elected and claiming he is the reason we are so divided in this country. To me that speaks to the racism that still exist in this country. Yes the republicans, especially Trump, refused to accept Obama’s victory, and said he wasn’t legitimate simply because he was black. Now Karma has come home to rest for trump. It’s Karma plain and simple.

Meryl was so emotional and it could do nothing but touch all of us just like Biden’s emotion when Barack gave him the freedom award and when Barack spoke so lovingly about his wife at his farewell speech. Trump knows he will never be the man or the president Obama is and was. Money can’t buy you everything, and it is obvious integrity is certainly priceless.

I just felt numb. Numb with uncertainty. Numbed by sadness and fear. I’m disheartened that our votes didn’t matter. I agree trump is not a legitimate president. I’m angered that an issue is being made about Congressman Lewis speaking to how many, MANY of us feel being attacked. Sick and tired of hearing how we should hope that trump will do anything differently than he always has after the inauguration. It is insane and I’m not crazy. Many of us are not crazy. We watch a good, honorable first family leave us as we are expected to usher in a buffoon! I’m sick of all the talk about hope, HOPE this man will be anything other than or God forbid more than he’s ever been. The truth is we are losing a great president that will be replaced by an immature dangerous, narcissistic monster who will be backed by a party that does all kind of shady crap to manipulate the American public and strip us of our rights and benefits as valued members of this country!

Say it loud Meryl. I felt you pain and despair and I stand with you and all those who stand against repression of the republicans and their elected leader.

There are some republicans who are really happy about all of this. They are laughing and talking about sports as if this is a good time for our country. I listened to the president say farewell and I felt sick to my stomach as I thought about what this will mean for all of us. I saw the Russians shut down CSPAN, something no one is talking about, which concerns me about how we will now really see only what the republicans want us to see. They control the media we have to find other ways to get information, unconventional ways. We need to pool our resources and make sure the resistance is always well informed and works hard to keep the public informed with the truth. We have to remember that the majority of us did not elect this person that will replace our great president. We have to get rid of all the republicans leading the witch hunt and crusade for racism like Ryan out of office. We have got to start to shun racism and racist with a vengeance! Let’s give them hell as they are the real enemy.

Meryl was brave and really did a fantastic job of getting her point across. Well said Ms. Streep.

You know I’m late and this has been last week was a real crazy week. I saw Obama’s farewell speech and watched when he surprised Biden with the Freedom award and I thought, we are really losing special leadership. I didn’t vote for Obama in 2008 but I did in 2012. I know how powerful images are during an election year and Romney lost me with that 44% conversion he had in private. I showed me that he was just a rich guy who was rich all his life and he was completely out of touch with the average American. Obama was more down to earth, more real and he remains so. It’s a sad time for all of us.

I am proud of Meryl just as I am proud of Lewis for being brave enough to speak their minds in a world that likes to down you for having an opinion that differs for the main stream. I support all who have the nerve to speak up about the mess we now find ourselves in.

I’m just sad to see Obama and his cabinet go. I was most moved by his appreciation for his beautiful wife and praise of his even more beautiful daughters. I love the Bidens and I’m glad they are so close with the Obamas. I’m just real sad because the incoming people are scary.

I think it’s time for everyone with a voice to bravely speak up so I am proud of Robert, Meryl, and John for doing just that.
