It's been a tough year to focus on what's going right. Everything feels wrong, wrong, wrong. And President Obama leaving office is a tough pill for a lot of us to swallow. He's fought for the middle class, protected the rights of the LGBT community, passed healthcare reform, believes in science and isn't afraid who knows it, ended the Iraq war, implemented the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, saved the auto industry as well as, you know, the economy. He did all of this and so much more with heart, intelligence, humor, and a sense of fairness and respect for the people he governs. He's put fatherhood front and center in American life. And he's made us believe that decency and integrity can actually exist in the highest office in the land. That deserves a thank you hug, don't you think?
