The burden of the US presidency should be apparent to anyone who’s noticed how Barack Obama's hair has turned almost entirely grey since 2008. And now, as Obama prepares to leave office, his high approval rating stands as a powerful rebuke to the Republicans, who have tried to block him at every turn for the last eight years.
WASHINGTON, DC – Barack Obama was just beginning to enjoy himself. He’d been itching to throw himself into the 2016 presidential race and do what he could to ensure that Donald Trump wouldn’t succeed him as President of the United States. It was evident throughout the campaign that he backed his former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, but he had to wait to declare his support openly until it was certain that Senator Bernie Sanders couldn’t beat her at the convention.
