Speaking at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting of the Young African Leaders Initiative that now that he is reaching the end of his term the press is feeling sentimental toward him.

“You know, right now I’m at the end of my presidency, so the press is kind of feeling a little sentimental,” he said. “And they think: ‘Ah, you know, he’s gotten old. Look at him, you know, we’ve beat him up. And, so, you know, now let’s focus on the new guys coming in.’

“But,” Obama said, “there have been times where I thought the press was very unfair. And I would open up the newspapers and I would go, ‘what!’ And I would start arguing.” …

In the interest of political correctness, the press has been “sentimental” to the “first black president” since day one. Nothing new here.

There yet remains a monumental "shovel-ready" job for the Press to do.

The “press” sure is going to miss kissing that @$$, Barry. Don’t worry, they’ll get over it.

Sensible people are feeling like Jaycee Dugard (kidnapped and held hostage by a predator) would have felt if she had been given a calendar to count down to her freedom. It’s nice to know it’s almost over. But even knowing the end is near, the last six months are a horrendous experience.

Statements like these from ‘lil b will continue until he PHYSICALLY walks out of the hut.

Then he’ll move into luxe digs that are prepared for his highness, take a breather & then start
running his mouth again.

All this sentimentalism drives me absolutely b*tsh*te craxy-

he’s worse than a dog with a bone & it’s going to continue

for the next coming months. He never shuts his gob- so be prepared !!

yap yap yap yap yap all day long—— yap yap yap yap yap.

No one ever taught him nor does he recognize the value of

sometimes you need to shut yer’ gob

"Sedimental" or perhaps even "Sedimentary" or "Sedentary" would be even better.

Stupid mole.

America will miss him like a pimple on our ass. It healed but left a scar for life!! His future to America—a land that he hates—will by like herpes, a gift that keeps on giving to our enemies.

So did the Washington Press Corps ever find out WHO gave the order for the Benghazi ordeal, when fighter jets were ready to come to the AID...WHO gave the stand down order. They are a lazy bunch, they won’t ask the hard questions. Never did. Never did get the transcript from Occicental. Yeah, a real sentimental sorry group.

He’s trying to kiss their @$$eS to keep up the full court press against Trump and ignore him and Hillary as the biggest part of the current problems.
