“Agree. Eventually, his lecturous condescending professorial style will begin to grind even on his most devoted followers....”

Unfortunately, I disagree. They LOVE his “style”. His devoted followers sacrificed EVERYTHING to worship their god. It’s who they are, and all they know now.

Yes, that's the way I see it too. Obama will "test the waters" with a few speeches and then slink into obscurity when he realizes that nobody cares what he has to say.

Trump is going to get so much done in the first 100 days that people are going to be wondering what the heck has Obama been doing these past 8 years? He had eight years to give us the "hope and change" he promised and he squandered them badly. But see, Obama never actually had a real job in the real world so he never had a work ethic and almost all his hires were done for political and patronage purposes. Basically a bunch of incompetent flunkies.

Donald Trump works pretty much from 4am to 10pm every day and hires people that are competent and even more importantly holds them accountable. Remember that he went through three campaign managers in the recent campaign. This was portrayed by the media as a sign of a "disorganized campaign in chaos" when it was actually Donald Trump being not afraid of making command decisions on the fly in order to reach his objectives. This is how an tried and true effective businessman operates.

The first 100 days of the Trump presidency will be a thing of beauty and by the time Obama returns to DC from his "Palm Springs vacation", he'll be totally irrelevant to the Democrat Party and they will be looking for new leadership to take them into the 2018 and 2020 campaigns. Maybe they will choose leaders who have actually accomplished something in their lives.

He is scared to death of being killed ... no pun intended.

Washington DC is about as secure a place to live in the USA as anywhere and he will huddle in his hovel while the wookie goes out and gets laid and the girls galavant around and have fun.

He may have in his deranged mind that he will stick around long enough to have a chastened nation, reeling from four years of Trump winning, change the Constitution and joyfully and gratefully allow him eight more years.

I think Soros and gang won’t let him leave. He’s always been their puppet and they can’t abandon the capitol to Trump.

Obama is like a case of genital herpes. You can get rid of him but he keeps coming back.

Where would he go? And what would he do? He will write(or at least someone will write)his memoire as president. That should take at least a week. As far as we know, he can renew his law license and take a position at one of the many big Washington firms or with the wife start one of his own. Whatever he opts for, I wish him the best. Just don’t come back.

How are they going to do that? They must be at least a generation out from having any such to choose from.

Trump was right, we have been unpresidented for eight years because Barky was never eligible to be President.

Yup. Obama is not my president. Obama is the ineligible one, by far. Undocumented, therefore illegal. He is not going away, because it's difficult to remove a dark stain on the White House. Everything Obama touched, got spoiled and stained. All we can do is to serve warnings to future generations about not allowing a darkness like Obama to rise again, lest we lose our nation completely.
