Former President Barack Obama’s office released a statement Monday supporting the protests going on around the country, and speaking out against discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion, saying “American values are at stake.”

Kevin Lewis, spokesman for Obama in his post-presidency, said that Obama — who has been threading the balance between the tradition of presidents deferring to their successors and coming out against President Donald Trump on specific issues he considered core values — “is heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country.”

It is Obama's first statement since leaving the White House.

What was that?

“The office of the former president”

We were saying we’d see something like this. Now he has his one unofficial office.

Weren’t some of his parting words in one of his numerous parting interviews that he would say something if he felt American values were at stake? So here he is back again using the ‘temporary’ ban to claim our values are at stake just so he can get his narcissistic face on camera again ..aren’t we lucky.

An office that we pay for. He vetoed the bill that would take us off the hook for paying for so much of ex presidents stuff. He’s pathetic.

I wonder what Obama’s phone bill be for this last week ?

Hussein has to keep in touch with the Muslim Brotherhood crowd that used to regularly come to the White House.

Hussein has to apologize to the Palestinians for the $hundreds of millions that Trump stopped. The Muslims needed that money for weapons and expenses to continue the war against Israel.

Hussein has to assure Iran that Trump will not take action against their test of a ballistic missile that is capable of carrying nuclear weapons. As that is a violation of Hussein's treaty, Trump and the Israeli Jews might be inclined to take action.

And America's FIRST Muslim President has to continue fighting for the Muslim invasion of the west. The useful idiots in the Demonrat Party are all for peaceful Muslims killing Americans.

It's what Muslims do, they lie and deceive to advance Islam. Trump will eventually have to arrest Obama for treason as Hussein Obama believes Trump would never arrest him. For that reason, Hussein will be careless in his future contacts with his anti-American Muslim terrorist network.
