(Matthew Calamari is behind Trump)

Woman's name is Sydnie Shuford:

Tell us a little about yourself.

"I was born and raised in Mobile. I went to St. Paul's Episcopal School and received my bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of South Alabama. I have been working for Mobile County Public Schools for 10 years as a teacher and most recently a school counselor. I have two stepdaughters, Olivia, 14, and Taylor, 12, and our son, Jackson, 8 months. We live in Spring Hill."

Are you a fan of Donald Trump? What do you like about him?

"We are fans of his television personality. He is somewhat mesmerizing as a person, and his recent candidacy for president of the United States has interested our entire family. I like the fact that he is honest when stating his ideas and agendas. However, I do not agree with everything he has to say."

Have never seen a photo of a child not enthralled and in love with Pres. Obama. On the flip side have only seen photos of children recoiling in fear and disgust at trump.

But in the final analysis I believe he'll be viewed as one of the greatest presidents. He held this country together for eight years longer than it deserved, IMO, considering the measure of its appreciation for his efforts.

Sweet sufferin’ succotash do I miss this - and him.

Back when we had a REAL President. Who who was legitimately elected not once but twice. And who never needed to CHEAT to win, nor to sidle up to a widely-acknowledged Hostile Foreign Power to get the dirty deed done.

What a beautiful and lucky child. He'll get to carry photos and stories about this his entire life, especially after President Obama receives the appreciation he deserves.

Thank you Barack for the example you continue to set for our youth!.......

He also sets a great example for our adult men as an old-fashioned gentleman, although few will see and follow him. The same applies to Michelle. She's a fine example of a great lady as she and Barack still represent America to the world.

That's one of the worst deficits our country is suffering from today.....folks have forgotten how to be everyday ladies and gentlemen.....
