President Donald Trump’s first one hundred days in office will end April 29. As such, former President Barack Obama’s current visit to Chicago offers him an opportunity to criticize his successor. But will he take it?
On Sunday and at the invitation of Arne Duncan, Obama met with a group of Chicago’s Create Real Destiny Program, which provides services for at-risk youth. CRED was founded by the former Education Secretary.
At 12:00 ET on Monday, Obama will speak to an invitation-only crowd of college students, organizers and activists at the University of Chicago, the former president’s old stomping grounds. Billed as Obama’s “first major public appearance” since leaving the White House, the event will nevertheless include a media presence, giving the former president his first public opportunity to critique Trump’s evolving policy positions and his first one hundred days.
However, Obama may not need to be overtly critical of his successor—at least for now. In addition to Trump detractors on both sides of the aisle, the former president can safely rely on continuous pot-stirring by Organizing for Action. The 501(c)4 organization, which is headquartered in Chicago, is the successor to Organizing for America and is the work product of both the Democratic National Committee and the Obama presidential campaigns. Weekly, sometimes daily emails to subscribers from Organizing for Action push the former president’s vision to his supporters and supplicants. Here’s a sampling:
April 23: “Yesterday was a big day for science + facts + progress… Chip in now to keep the momentum strong.” April 21: “Since DACA was implemented, more than 750,000 young people have earned… protected status… But the [Trump] administration’s stance has stripped them of that peace of mind.”

OBAMA IS THE WORST President EVER!
Put the Mike down Obama... We’ve had enough of your BS!
Of course he will...
I would like to know Barry’s failed plan to curb violence in Chicago.
Only 7 dead and 30 hurt this past weekend
OBAMA IS THE WORST President EVER!
High crimes against humanity and the American People.
I was going to point out that Bush II was not so classless as to behave like Obama is behaving now. But then again Bush didn’t defend himself even when he was in office. So I guess that’s a bad example.
The POS will put on his Jive hustler face and demeanor and go all out.
Ask him about his college transcripts.
How was life as a foreign student on campus? Did teachers and students treat you differently?
What was your worst subject?
When did you last snort blow?
Please, whatever everyone can do to NOT post what the former Enemy in Chief is doing in his spare time would be a welcome relief to we who loathed and despised every day this saboteur was in the White House.
Please spare us. We don’t want to know. We want to forget the past and get on with Trump, MAGA, and restoring our Free Constitutional Republic.
Why not? He took questions on his predecessor, or turned questions into indictments of Bush, all the time. And Bush just sat there silently and took it out of some warped notion of “respect” and dignity” of the office. Obama’s going to talk about whatever he wants to talk about and no one is going to tell him to shut up out of “respect” for the office or the “dignity” of being an ex-president.
April 21: “Since DACA was implemented, more than 750,000 young people have earned… protected status… But the [Trump] administration’s stance has stripped them of that peace of mind.”

U.S. Presidents should not be protecting foreign nationals from U.S. law.
Unfortunately, President Trump has decided to continue Obama’s lawless DACA program and has told the illegal aliens affected that they can, “rest easy”.
Ask about Susan Rice.

The left is great at creating programs and foundations for the sole purpose of money laundering.
