President Barack Obama was in Springfield, Ill., today, where he visited his old state senate office (if not his old positions held as a senator). With the 2016 elections now well underway, Obama seems free to do some legacy building by revisiting his own history, and getting some good photos for the history books.

Was that back when he still believed that “marriage is the union between a man and a woman”?
It was freezing that day in Springfield, but I was filled with hope and ready for this adventure. -mo #WhereWereYou pic.twitter.com/aJTZb6PqNq

@WhiteHouse @POTUS …and enjoys a hot mug of late-term abortion. Just like the old days.

@WhiteHouse @POTUS and spent most of the time looking in the mirror

That’s a nice office, and likely where he made his decision to vote “present” (the spineless version of “no”) on seven important abortion bills, including the “born alive” legislation, which required doctors to administer medical care to aborted fetuses that survive the abortion process.
What else?

@vj44 @POTUS why are we paying for this trip down memory lane?

@vj44 @WhiteHouse @POTUS Oh great. He was worthless there too. Had no experience for that job let alone POTUS. History now proves it.

@vj44 @WhiteHouse @POTUS Is that a smoking or non smoking office now?

Too bad he didn’t have his Nobel Peace Prize yet to add some pizzazz to the place.
