Why Obama should think again about speaking out as ex-prez

President Obama has signaled that he

[ArmstedFragg]

Giving his tendency to announce “this isn’t who we are” in response to everything he disagrees with, I suspect there’ll be lots of “core issues about our values and ideals”.

I’m betting that by Valentine’s Day he’ll be blaming Trump’s position on global warming for the absence of snow in Rancho Mirage.

Keep talking Obama. The more you talk, the more we win elections.

there actually is a law against a private person conducting foreign policy over seas. it has only been enforced one time but the way the law is written at least one ex president should of been prosecuted JIMMY CARTER when he interfered in foreign policy while overseas in north Korea during the George Bush’s administration. I hope that the first time that Obama is overseas and he try’s to interferer with foreign policy that Trump informs him that if he continues he will have the justice department prosecute him for breaking that law. unfortunately on domestic front he has the same rights as you and me to complain about how things are done.

Obama has already pushed the Dems back to a level of political irrelevance not seen in living memory.

I hope he keeps running his mouth until he’s completely destroyed the Democrat party.

Without an audience, this man is lost.

 

Precisely - and the media in all its manifestations is aiming to give him one, whether the "audience" wants it or not. The plan is for Ozero to snipe at Trump and his administration from the sidelines and for them proclaim every utterance far and wide. Or so they think. I believe it's going to be something like it was during the Repub primary campaign - right when they settle on something to rant on Trump about, another shoe drops then they scramble to cover that, then while they are just starting to examine that, another one drops, and another, and another, on and on. No, Trump is spooling up to hit the ground running from the first day, all day, every day. Obuzzard and other complainers will fade into the background as static noise - there will be so many dominoes falling in so many directions there will be a mad scramble just to keep up with it all. It's going to be entertaining, watching a bunch of hacks with no work ethic trying to keep up with someone who does.

His support will wither and dry up just as the hag who lost and is now losing her golden egg.

That's like music to my ears sir. 😂😊👍😁

“...music to my ears...”

Well, Obama did want a legacy. I just don’t think he ever imagined that it would be Destroyer of The Democrat Party.

Henceforth, every time I hear his voice, I’ll know that he’s helping another Democrat lose an election.

The day after Bill Clinton won his first term he held a press conference. He said he was going to lay as low as possible during the transition because, “there can only be one President at a time”. It's one of the few things Clinton ever said that I agreed with. Those were words that Barack should heed.

Billy Jeff was a president-elect asserting his strategic choice to opt out of campaigning during his pre-determined succession.

Zero is a lame-duck on his way out.

Those are not comparable situations.

Let's pray for that. 🙏

Through telepromptors."

It puts the lotion on its skin...!

LOL

On core issues “about our values and our ideals,” he said, ...

No; Barak; you will NOT be getting 'fees' (like Hillary USED to get) for blabbering on about something or another.

[trebb]

He has some pretty smelly shoes to fill to become the next Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson....he’s been practicing though.

I am enamored of this description of the pResident. Thank you.

[Freee-dame]

How many uumms, ers and aaahs will his rambling statements have when he no longer has the services of lots of speech writers?

[New Jersey Realist]

The worst president in history to comment on the best president. Yeah, that makes sense. That POS idiot’s ego has no bounds. He’s a legend in his own mind. He walks around with a perpetual foot sticking out of his mouth. OBAMA - GO AWAY!

[GnuThere]

That’s why I’m hoping Mooshelle won’t run for anything...it would be too HAAAARRDDD!
They both can no doubt boost their cash flow by speaking fees or do-nothing positions on boards.

In response to people supporting Trump in response to daily censorship and bullying, the new media meme is “fake news”. What they can’t censor as hate must be censored as fake when it doesn’t fit their narrative.
Many “official” news sites responded to the repudiation of far left propaganda as “OMG, half my neighbors are nazis!” They didn’t wonder if the name-calling had hurt their cause but mourned and freaked as if their propaganda were true.
No, I don’t think they will ignore Obama but instead give him a major spotlight to bash Trump with.
