Dear President Obama,

Please don’t leave us.

I know that these past eight years have, at times, gone by too fast and, at other times, gone by too slow. I know that the majority of us Americans antagonized your presidency and your Affordable Care Act and your Iranian Nuclear Deal, but we’re sorry. I know that this seems too late, but we’re sorry for counting the days until your presidency was over, we’re sorry for saying you didn’t do enough and we’re sorry that you’re leaving us in a little more than two months.

I can only speak for myself, but I do think all of America will miss you more than they missed the President before you. We will miss you and your Vice President, making friendship bracelets for each other on BuzzFeed videos. We will miss you and Michelle, sending precious tweets to each other on your anniversary and ballroom dancing during the White House Correspondents Dinner. We will miss your dogs, Bo and Sunny, and their even more precious posts on the White House’s Instagram.

More importantly, we will miss your character. We will miss your presidential decorum that you’ve had throughout these past two elections and this current election. We will miss your lack of email scandals, your lack of racist comments towards our neighboring countries, and your lack of sexist comments accidentally caught on tape. We will miss your wife, Michelle, delivering speeches she actually wrote herself and not delivering speeches written by previous First Ladies. We will miss how you deliver speeches without including outlandish and unfounded remarks. We will miss your smart, appropriate comments and statistics on the environment, the economy, the healthcare and the education of America. We will miss your mature yet competitive discourse during debates, and we will miss you as a cultural and political figurehead during these next few months while we get used to our new, and subpar, leader.

While you’ve been campaigning for Hillary to be your successor, she’s no you. She hasn’t kept her nose as clean as you have, and she’s become the epitome of the Washington corruption that you’ve fought these last eight years to destroy. In comparison to Michelle, Bill Clinton wouldn’t be a fraction as classy, mature and virtuous of a First Spouse.

You’ve done so much in these last eight years to better America in almost every aspect, more than most of your predecessors. When you were elected, you had inherited our country’s worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. With careful and calculated economic policy, you saved us all, and you created jobs for an economic culture that will save the future generations of Americans. You helped us, even with a Republican congress you were able to push through your policies and do the best things for America whenever possible, and we could never truly thank you.
