Obama threatens to pounce on Trump

In his final news conference as president Wednesday, Barack Obama vowed to step off the political sidelines if incoming President Donald Trump dares to “round up” children of illegal immigrants, “roll back voting rights” or otherwise engage in “systemic discrimination.”

Obama offered hints about his post-White House plans when he indicated he would take a more activist role to defend “core values that may be at stake” under a Trump administration.

“If I saw systematic discrimination [is] being ratified in some fashion. I put in that category explicit or functional obstacles to people being able to vote, to exercise their franchise,” Obama said.

He added, “I put in that category institutional efforts to silence dissent or the press.”

But it was the so-called DREAMers, or children of illegal immigrants, who got Obama the most fired up.

“And for me, at least, I would put in that category efforts to round up kids who have grown up here and for all practical purposes are American kids, and send them someplace else, when they love this country, they are our kids’ friends and their classmates and are now entering into community colleges or in some cases serving in our military … The notion that we would just arbitrarily, or because of politics, punish those kids, when they didn’t do anything wrong themselves, I think would be something that would merit me speaking out.”

WOW! Talk about perpetuating the lies. Yup. No doubt. Trump, all by his own self, is gonna round up women and children and deport them. Even if they're Americans and only voice their opinions against the new admin. Violating the first amendment by locking out the press. Yeah, sounds like all the things listed in the double secret memo we all got. What a load of horse hockey. What's the lyin' king gonna do? Tear him up? Get in his face? Bring a gun to the fight? Only another 28 hours or so and he can be off to Palm Springs or wherever he's headed. By the way, I hear the presidential 747 will be winging him to his destination. Uh, why are we paying for that. Fly frickin' Delta or Southwest on your own dime.

This will make Trump twitter more and pretty soon the media will learn...that no one is listening to them anymore.

Here’s hoping congressional investigations start up on Obama to show the world what a corrupt, lying, POS he really is.

I thought Bammy was going to cry at the news conference because it finally dawned on him that he is a loser.

What a delusional piece of tool that man is!!! Trump only gets to be president with his ‘permission’? Didn’t he do everything he could do to block out participation of the public in government? And now that he’s just another person, he thinks he has some sort of magical power?

He needs a bucket of water tossed on him, just like Hillary. Melt away Narcissist!!

Wrong verb for the headline. Obama has never pounced in his life.

Whatever he does will be coming out of his pocket.

And if he crosses the line he might wake up to news his bank accounts got hacked by a 14 year old.

Obozo, you might want to just fade away and leave President Trump alone.

President Trump could start tweeting some good realities about you that your sycophant mediots have buried for at least 8 years.

The little boy has never had anyone hold him accountable. Trump is going to smack him like a child.

Trump would be wise to sweep everything Obama has access to. No doubt Obama has set up a Shadow Government and will try to keep some power. It needs to be attacked and destroyed. OBAMA has rooted the Clinton out and taken control of the Democrat Party. Trump needs to set up a Department just to investigate Obama and his past treasonous and corrupt actions.Obama is no different than a spy.
TRUMP ALSO NEEDS TO replace these late appointments Obama made if possible.

I thought Bammy was going to cry at the news conference because it finally dawned on him that he is a loser. "Obama also used his final presidential press conference to thank the media for helping him to do the following:”

Former President Obama awarded himself the prestigious, 'Distinguished Public Service Medal' on Wednesday, January 18, 2017.

During his teary-eyed presentation speech, he referred to himself some 97 times while gloriously expounding on his many accomplishments, performances and outstanding golf games.

Through tears of joy during the acceptance speech, he referred to himself another 163 times expounding upon his many successes and how smart he is.

We breathlessly await more medals of this type to be awarded to Barack Obama.

Bad news: he’s annointing himself as a professional radical progressive community organizing gadfly who iis not gonna leave

Good news: he will continue to suck the oxygen from the democrat party for the 4 years ( or until they buy him off with a UN post so he can go bash the US from abroad) and remind 63 million people of why they voted republican just in time for 2018 Senate runs

A gentleman knows when it is time to leave
No man ever modeled gentelman’s behavior to Bronco and he doesn’t get it

Illegal aliens are illegal aliens.
Trump should rescind Obama’s illegal executive order and let ICE do their job.
Those given working papers and SS#’s should have them revoked.
They can go home with their parents who decided to bring them across our border illegally, we wouldn’t want to break up families.

I hope Trump does not spend over much time dueling with Obama
Otherwise it becomes a calculated distraction campaign to keep the a$$hole relevant and keep stirring social division and turmoil
