Thanks, Obama!

So the beginning of November was a veritable shit storm. And the middle. And the end. For myself, on a personal level. For all of us, on a national level. Can this month end already?

After conferring with my advisors, we've decided that the November super moon and Trump are co-conspirators. I'm now wondering how far the shit storm spread. Did it effect people's personal and professional lives in India? Antarctica? Brooklyn?

I'm hoping that when November ends, this craziness will end. Yes, yes, I'm aware that the overall craziness in any population is directly proportional to the proximity of Christmas. Not this year, people. I refuse. This year is going to be chill. Gift cards all around.

But if it isn't, at least I have a new scapegoat. We (my closest advisors and I) have now coined, "Fucking Trump!" (Can be abbreviated as FT!) It's universal and pretty much covers everything. It replaces "Thanks, Obama!" Credit to Jenna Marbles for popularizing the phrase (I think).

Jenna Marbles "Thanks, Obama!"

Nope. It goes way deeper than that. HFS!

History of "Thanks, Obama!"

He's a good sport. He's always been a good sport.

So this is your chance, people. Republicans (and everyone else) had their run with it for the last eight years. No matter what goes wrong in your life, be it job loss, a headache, or you misplaced your keys again, just say, "Thanks, Trump!" It doesn't have to make sense. It's his fault. Somehow.

I looked at "Thanks, Obama!" memes for 45 minutes before I decided to go in a different direction with my quotes.

Thanks, Obama.

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."

"We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense."

"Let us remember we are all part of one American family. We are united in common values, and that includes belief in equality under the law, basic respect for public order, and the right of peaceful protest."

"Now, as a nation, we don't promise equal outcomes, but we were founded on the idea everybody should have an equal opportunity to succeed. No matter who you are, what you look like, where you come from, you can make it. That's an essential promise of America. Where you start should not determine where you end up."

-President Barack Obama
