President Barack Obama has little sympathy for President-elect Donald Trump when it comes to the protests against him, and he offered up some advice for his successor: Get used to it.

“I’ve been the subject of protests during the course of my eight years,” Obama said at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday. “And I suspect that there’s not a president in our history that hasn’t been subject to these protests. So, I would not advise people who feel strongly or who are concerned about some of the issues that have been raised during the course of the campaign, I wouldn’t advise them to be silent.”

Trump and his allies have lashed out at the protesters that have surged across the nation, accusing them of being paid demonstrators ginned up by the media.

I hope Trump slams his ass in Hus inaugural address. Obama can only sit and listen. But it won’t happen.

I do intend to FORGET this man ASAP after he departs the
White House. He is NOT the BLACK President the Left has
portrayed him as being; but I will concede the TITLE to
him so maybe they can shut up for a minute or two. (He
has behaved himself like a little golfing fanatic dictator.)
I hope he will get his butt out of that chair on time &
leave it vacant for President Donald J. Trump.

Does that give us anti-obozo people the right to badmouth him without being called racist etc?

I don't give a shit whether some leftist hack calls me 'racist'. That ship has sailed.

Racist, sexist, homophobic, islamophobic, anti-semitic, transphobic ... don't mean a damn thing any more.

Obama is planning to be agaitator in Chief stating in January. He doesn’t have the sense or decency to fade away into private life.
