Viewing a picture of a departing President Barack Obama evokes a particular sadness to me. We voted for neither presidential candidate in 2016, an absolute first for us. Although I am a lifelong Republican I am fearful that Obama may have been the last of a civilly behaving president in my lifetime. I truly hope I am wrong. I find Mr. Trump a national disgrace, no matter the state of our economy and the cowardice of my party.

Note from KBJ: Millions of your fellow countrymen and women are proud, for the first time in decades, to have a strong, competent, patriotic president, Anita. We're going to elect him again!
