President Obama’s farewell speech transcript, annotated
Washington Post ^ | Jan 10, 2017 | Barack Obama

Posted on 01/10/2017 9:46:09 PM PST by MarvinStinson

Because of the extraordinary courage of our men and women in uniform. Because of our intelligence officers and law enforcement and diplomats who support our troops. no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland these past eight years.

And although Boston and Orlando and San Bernardino and Fort Hood remind us of how dangerous radicalization can be, our law enforcement agencies are more effective and vigilant than ever. We have taken out tens of thousands of terrorists, including Bin Laden.

The global coalition we're leading against ISIL has taken out their leaders and taken away about half their territory. ISIL will be destroyed. And no one who threatens America will ever be safe.

And all who serve or have served -- it has been the honor of my lifetime to be your commander-in-chief.

Fake news! Four paragraphs without using “I.” More than the jug eared coon can do.

Ears is sticking with “ISIL” right to the end, I guess. It’s just valerie jarrett’s way of lumping israel in with the bad guys - a smokescreen so the public can’t really focus on who the enemy really is. But we voted valerie, ears and cankles out on Nov. 8. After jan. 8, I don’t think our whitehouse will be calling the bad guys ISIL anymore. THANK YOU, JESUS!

I thought this was pretty bad:

“If every economic issue is framed as a struggle between a hardworking white middle class and an undeserving minority, then workers of all shades are going to be left fighting for scraps while the wealthy withdraw further into their private enclaves.”

Last night in Chicago, Obama was lucky he didn't throw out his shoulder from patting himself on the back so much.

“My fellow Americans...”

Let me just stop you right there, Hussein. You’ve still not shown Americans your birth cert, you’re college records, etc. In fact, source of forge-FOUND!

You are definitely NOT a fellow and, barring future evidence to the contrary, NOT an American.

We should be so lucky.

I can’t think of much McCain has ever done worth a dang.

Most of what he has done (since his late teens) runs from fairly bad to horrible stuff.

In his book he talked about starting fights in grade school.

He liked beating up the other kids.

He has been twisted since birth.
