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.

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 @WhiteHouse @POTUS # Really?Kind of hilarious when you remember he was barely a Senator that seldom showed up 2 vote and got paid 4 it

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