I know you weren't perfect in that Commander in Chief bombing innocent folks overseas sort of way,
but Sweet Jesus at least you are not Trump,
you had some natural dignity as a decent man with his heart in the right place for most of the time & you tried, at least you tried to make things better for all folks,
& you could shed a tear for the children & you could take a joke & you could chuckle with the best of them & you did have good dance moves & your hair wasn't some sort of freeze-dried candy floss sort of thing,
& you didn't re-tweet Fascists, & didn't scapegoat, & lie, & work every single angle possible to put a few more dollars in your bank account,
& you had a keen intelligence for important things such as the health of your citizens & the world they live in & you wouldn't say Islamic terrorism because you knew it was a dangerous & short-sighted & in the end truly awful way to play into the hands of the enemy,
& you kneeled down to talk to kids in mini-pope mobiles, & you had an honesty & a calm reasoned approach that even if that was too much at times at least you didn't jump into the fire and wade in the dark morass of prejudice & ignorance,
& you didn't appoint all your family to powerful positions so they too could work that dollar angle & you didn't promise idiocies to gullible desperate idiots & you at least weren't a ****** predator & a two-bit snake-oil salesman who worked a three-card monte with a 'University' so as to fleece the believers,
& you weren't called Donald Trump & you were at least a Democrat & son of a gun look at us now!
