WASHINGTON (AP) -- Closing out a tumultuous year, President Barack Obama sought to lay the groundwork Friday for his last year in office by vowing not to fade in the background but instead use his remaining months to push longstanding goals to fruition.

"In 2016, I'm going to leave it all out on the field," he said. "Wherever there's an opportunity, I'm going to take it."

Ha! Good luck with that!

The Republicans control both houses!

Do I really need a sarcasm tag?

He probably won’t leave office.

Barky says he isn’t going to fade away?

I’m still holding out hope that at some point, the patience of the Almighty will be exhausted and He will lob an Old Testament style lightning bolt at that Kenyan sack o’ sh*t and light him up like a Christmas tree.

And I’m standing right beside you when it happens!!!

[EagleUSA]

Sick with hate and power-madness. He will do as much damage to America as he can get away with.....hello Congress, are you still there???

What Would Obama Do?

LOL! Best post of the day!

Even if he does leave office on Jan 20 2017 (or sooner), he is not the kind of ex-president who will shut up, ever.

[Da Coyote]

Indeed he will not, given McDorkell and RINOyan serving as his pet boinking sheep in the butt kissing section of the gubmit.

From your mouth to God’s ear...although it would be quite overdue in my estimation

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

It is implied in this that Obamugabe considers himself untouchable and that conservatives/tea-party types don’t have the balls to shut him down. He may yet rue that implication.

He probably won’t leave office.

Part of me wishes that would happen. If any portion of this country is ever going to fight back, that should do it. If this didn't cause a civil war, at least we would officially know the grand experiment was over.

In 2016, I'm going to leave it all out on the field

Why not?

The Republicans have left the field.

[mad_as_he$$]

They are there. They just gave 0 everything he wanted in a budget.

Yup, after a Republican President is elected, the drive-bys will be adoringly putting a mic in front of him asking his opinion on EVERYTHING!

*Spit*

[SkyDancer]

Has more destruction to visit on America.

for what 9 months and then it starts all over again during the election

[Logical me]

Doesn't seem to mean anything. King Obama just goes on with no opposition.

NO!!!
