[Pilgrim's Progress]

Here is the portion of that letter which no patriot can read without bursting into uncontrollable laughter! What hubris indeed!

“Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office. That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions — like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties — that our forebears fought and bled for.”

What rule of law? You ignored any law you didn’t like or tried to change it through EO.

Separation of powers? Really? With EO’s you pretty much isolated congress from the country.

Equal protection? Riiight? the way you equally protected the tea party and Christians is legendary!!!

That’s all I can type for now - the tears of laughter (and anger) are blinding me.

“Rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties”=’rat code for something else entirely.

It didn’t leave it for a real president, it left it for flake media....
Capeche?

Easy to tell BO didn’t write this letter, the last line:

Good luck and Godspeed, BO would have said Allah speed

[SoFloFreeper]

...I don’t know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful...

The only line in the letter Hussein might have gotten correct, even if by accident.

The rest of it, while it may be true, certainly doesn't reflect his attitude while occupying the Oval Office. None of it. He was parrot-talking.

[V K Lee]

Truly doubtful it was ‘written’; cursive, you know.

Printed with a crayon? Perhaps.

[silverleaf]

Yes. BO left a big set of footprints for Donald Trump
Right on top of the Resolute desk

[SaxxonWoods]

Don’t you love the way the writer of this article talks about Trump being accused of not following the rule of law, but ignores the irony of Obama being the champ of lawlessness?

[Tucker39]

Where was the BARF alert?!

[WildHighlander57]

“ Congratulations on a remarkable run. Millions have placed their hopes in you, and all of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure. This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don’t know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful. Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years. First, we’ve both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky. It’s up to us to do everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that’s willing to work hard. Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable. It’s up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that’s expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend. Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office. That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions ― like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties ― that our forebears fought and bled for. Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it’s up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them. And finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family. They’ll get you through the inevitable rough patches. Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can. Good luck and Godspeed, BO " This part jumped out: "...Sustain the international order...upon which our own wealth and safety depend..." International order??!!?? Nope.

Oh look. Barak brought out his Big Book of Worn-out Platitudes and Tired Metaphors.

I don’t think Obama has ever had an original thought.

Every single speech was one platitude after another, and all worn out over decades of use.

[TigersEye]

CNN claims they obtained this letter?
Does the syntax and grammar hold any similarity to Rachel Maddow's or Don Lemon's?

Assuming it might be real...

"First, we’ve both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky."

You were lucky, Botard, Donald Trump worked for his blessings.

[tumblindice]

“rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties”

I’m surprised Barry didn’t burst into flames writing these words.

[Beagle8U]

“Good luck and Godspeed, BO “

So...It was signed with a paw print?

[Garvin]

As usual Barry couldn’t help himself and injected himself onto the letter.

[Fedora]

Signed,

Bill Ayers

[Slyfox]

on this great adventure ???

Puh-lease. The Presidency of the United States is not a "Great Adventure."

[maine-iac7]

Always the Chutzpah.

giving the incoming President advice.

Really!!!!

[combat_boots]

Obama wouldn’t say Godspeed

[clearcarbon]

"Read The Letter Barack Obama Left Donald Trump Upon Leaving Office"

Not as sinister as the letter "O"
