Boy, I never guessed just how much this song would ring true. We are going to have the greatest sense of loss for a president since Nov.22, 1963.
I was reflecting on my experience of US presidents, and I recall that until Obama there had never been a president who occupied the office with any grace, style or leadership ability since JFK and Ike when I was a kid. Most of us will miss him, and more than we could have imagined, now that the Orange Menace has become the latest disgraceful president, and perhaps the most disgraceful ever.
"Likeable" could at least be applied to the two previous boomers, Bill Clinton and GW Bush. I watched the PBS program about Bush as a candidate, and I have to admit he was good, as his horoscope score indicates. Better than Al Gore, certainly. But a horrid president. He definitely won the office by cheating, though. Trump did not. Nevertheless, just like Gore, Hillary actually won, but lost. Funny how that only applies to our side now.
