Obama: once out of office, I’m gonna stop being polite and start getting real
Vox ^ | 9/23/16 | Andrew Prokop

**SNIP**

But perhaps the most intriguing bit was when, in a brief discussion of Obama’s plans for his post-presidency, Obama hinted that he planned to start speaking out more like an activist than a president.

There are “things,” he told Goodwin, “that in some ways I suspect I’m able to do better out of this office.” He elaborated that because of the “institutional constraints” of the presidency, “there are things I cannot say.”

He went on to essentially say he wanted to use his post-presidential bully pulpit more like an activist than a venerable elder statesman. “There are institutional obligations I have to carry out that are important for a president of the United States to carry out, but may not always align with what I think would move the ball down the field on the issues that I care most deeply about,” he said.

Rush also implied that if O abandons protocol then those who disagree with him are likewise not bound by protocol. So ppl will get Real back to him. Once he encounters unfiltered criticism outside of his bubble-world he’ll get an eye opener.

“Could he be more consumed with self-importance?”

You know he’s already booking those 300k, 20 minutes speeches.
I’ll bet corporate America can’t wait to pay this jackass big money to berate them. It won’t be the healthcare sector, we have the JCAHO.

This dovetails what his mentor Louis Farrakhan said at the end of his tirade against Obama. https://youtu.be/-8uQWIhFtEA?t=3m

He’ll be LEADING the RIOTERS!! ...and he'll have Secret Service protection paid for by you and me.

I can see him now. The SS guys will be holding his megaphone, his hammer to break windows, his boxes of Molatov cocktails, his AK47, his ammo, his grenades, his crate of money to pay his rioters and 'reporters'. They will also be driving his vans full of his personal CNN 'reporters' and camerapersons. They will assassinate anyone he feels is getting to much screen time. He'll be doing all of this while Secy-General of the UN. That's just what we'll see on the surface. Much, much more will be going on behind the scenes. How did I do, Soetoro?

“I guess he’s saying he’s gonna be out there in front of those BLM protests with a megaphone.”

Yeah, with his Secret Service Detail. I’ll just bet they won’t be happy about being targets

“once an agitator, always an agitator.”

Going back to his community organizing days, the only thing he actually can do — agitating.

That jug eared Negro could not lead a thirsty horse to water, especially from the front.

He’s been a smug and disrespectful community agitator for the past 8 years! What’s going to change?

Polite?! He doesn’t know the meaning of the word ... unless you count his bowing to our enemies.

This man and his past has to be fully exposed after 1/20/17.

And all who assisted him.
