Five years ago, Barack Obama stepped onto a stage in Springfield, Illinois, and said he was running for president. Here’s a look at what’s happened since (includes Tumblr hearts).

this made me tear up in the middle of the cafeteria, jeez. despite however obama’s disappointed me and his many supporters, I still stand by him and appreciate the hope and passion he can inspire in people. I remember the 2008 election so fondly, twas a good time to be a liberal in the bronx.
