Empire/Hidden Fgures actress, Taraji P. Henson, has been a very vocal supporter of President Obama and 1st Lady, Michelle Obama. She also made it known who she stood with during the 2016 presidential election- Hillary Clinton. Well now, she’s just posted a touching message on Instagram bidding Mr. & Mrs. Obama a farewell.
In her message she also admitted that when she recently visited the White House, she damn near ‘grabbed them by the ankles’ to beg them not to leave. I suddenly had a vision in my mind, of Taraji turning real ‘Cookie-like’ for a second inside of the White House and actually doing that, LOL…y’all know “Cookie” plays NO games! Anywho, if you’re down with the Obama’s, you may just get a little misty eyed after reading Taraji’s post. Check it out below…

Many have expressed Taraji’s same sentiment. Tonight Al Sharpton posted several pics on Twitter of himself attended Michael Moore’s Anti-Trump rally outside Trump Tower in New York…

Cher spoke at the event and so did Robert DeNiro. The turnout was in the double digit thousands as people shed tears, chanted for Obama, chanted against Donald Trump, sang uplifting music, and vowed to continue to push for change.
As the clock winds down for the Obama era and into the Trump era, we wanna hear from all of our ILOSM family- Obama/Hillary Clinton supporters, as well as Trump supporters:
On a scale of 1-10 (1o being the highest), tell us how much, or how little, faith you have in the unbiased political capabilities of the new President Donald Trump?
