Speaking at an event honoring the late Nelson Mandela ahead of the 100th anniversary of his birth
former president Barack Obama lamented the rise of strongman politics and the utter loss of shame among political leaders who repeatedly lie
during a speech Tuesday in South Africa that was widely seen as aimed in part at his successor (Trump) (WaPo).

Obama Denounces Trumps 'Strongman Politics'While Eulogizing Che Guevara and Fidel Castro Lover Nelson Mandela
Liberals have TDS. Trump has ODS.
After witnessing Obama throwing a baseball, and wincing like a little girl while watching a Karate match, and eight years of ‘leading from behind’, I can understand his denunciation of “Strongman tactics”.
Like others of his bent, he has only his mouth. His penchant for wowing the black community and trying to be “cool” is his only pony trick.
Sure blacks and liberals clamored after him because they believed he had a “stash” and he was going to share it with them. April fool.
He was bragging about having $20-million the other day...has he given you any of it? And, how did he amass $20-million on eight years of President’s pay?
Like a meme I did once, he wants us to think he’s a badass, when he’s really just “Peewee Herman”.
Tire fire necktie boy.
Somebody is projecting again
I can see why this clown doesn’t want his college transcripts “unsealed”. I don’t think he has any. If he does, it’s probably a BS in Art.
strongman politics??? isn’t this the same POS who responded to getting his butt kicked in the 2014 midterms by saying, “i have a pen and i have a phone?”
Obama Denounces Trumps ‘Strongman Politics....
Certainly much better than Odumbos bowing and scraping pussy politics.
“””and the utter loss of shame among political leaders who repeatedly lie during a speech “””
“Every family will save $2500 a year on health care... If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.... “””
This POS has never in his life displayed a moment’s shame and he has the gall to talk about shame?
The law of averages is going to give us 20 more years of this assclown.
Let him speak; this dope bears much of the responsibility for Trump’s election, and is a poster boy for the shortcomings of affirmative action. Splash him all over the TV all the way through the 2020 election.
The blacks I deal with act as though Obama never existed - though they voted for him twice. Like Black Lies Matter, they know he was a disaster for black Americans; they just don’t want to lose face in front of non-blacks and admit it.
Take hope, my FRiend. The lifespan of male homosexuals is statistically lower than the average male.
No one (of course) would ever equate Trump with Jesus... BUT... with that caveat, I offer this analogy:
In a HUGE blunder, the Swamp (Dems and most of GOP) somehow allowed the voters to decide... and the coronation of Queen Hillary was derailed. Trump has turned over the tables of the World Order Money Changers, in their Temple of Greed (of which the Clintons were “chief Pharisees”) having sold the Democrat party to international bankers and oligarchs for mountains of cash!
For that President Trump must be destroyed... and no one like him (or Reagan) must ever be allowed near the Oval Office again!!! When you mess with their money and power... they crucify you. So far Trump has survived an onslaught, few could... in their frustration and desperation, the Deep State has shown itself the gangsters we always knew they were. Complete with calls for a violent coup... Herr Mueller being their “great white hope”... it’s called “lawfare”... where corrupt prosecutors (er... persecutors) use the law to attack political rivals. Pure banana republic! Scott Walker was a target... but survived. But many people’s lives were ruined!

Some folks think President Trump is America’s Cyrus, via Isaiah Chapter 45. President Trump as #45.
If he does, its probably a BS in Art. .............................. Is there something wrong with that? Art is design, its all around you, just look. I had a BA in Art, and I was assigned as an artist illustrator in the Army when I was drafted. Although I worked outside of art, I still had it as a talent. When I retired from the “business” world, I found that the art paid more than 3x what I was earning in business and wondered, why did I ever waste my time behind a desk. I left a legacy for my kids and grand children. Don’t knock Art degrees, artists design every thing you have in your home and what you see outside that is man made.
bring a gun..........
Obama proving once again that electing him in the first place was One Big Ass Mistake America.
Well, ok, I cant resist telling the tale.
About 10 years ago I attended a week long workshop in metals held at a fine arts enclave located several miles from the main campus of a university. I have learned to work in silver.
We were given a tour. The head of the glass studio asked at the first words he uttered...... Whats the difference between a large Dominos pepperoni pizza and a glass artist?
The pizza can feed a family of four.
But I digress.
Each evening the various work shop heads made presentations and had extensive presentations of their work
The wood work shop was hosted by the out going resident artist in the wood work studio. She showed the pictures and some showed beautiful work in furniture and boxes I think. Most was devoted to her calling however. Her calling and reason for being was to express the dialogue between lines and dots.
She would make door frames and window facing and all sorts of architectural fenestration from wood that received a wash of tempera paint onto which she took an HB pencil and made a dot from which a line extended. The dots were more or less uniform but the lines mostly at right angles were of various lengths. This meticulously applied pencil work was a dialogue between lines and dots.
She was very upset and complained through the whole presentation. She had to leave the security of the wood studio where she had dwelled for about 8 years. She came as a freshman Fine Arts Major, spent 2 more years getting a Masters of Fine arts and then was granted 2 more years as Artist in Residence, Wood Working Studio. At 26 she was kicked out into the hard cold world. She was wonderfully talented and made beautiful stuff. She was hung up as an artist however.....lines and dots.
It was realized that she had to make a living and the solution proposed was a production item. That is artist code for something you make over and over rather than just one at a time. The buzz is do you have a production item.
Well she developed one. Mirror Frames that were about 3 wide painted in the yellow milk tempera and containing the wonderful hand applied dialogue with lines and dots. So all was well. She had the production item and sold one.
OOps.....there was a problem. It had to be shipped. She could find no box the right size to ship the frame in. Turns out to get a box or boxes, the frames had to be dimensionally fabricated to a size determined by the box manufacturer. Time for crying...... literally.
Her whole artistic world came crashing down.
The box maker destroyed her artistic freedom and thus her integrity and thus her being.
