President Barack Obama doesn’t expect he’ll “suddenly just vanish” once Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20. He also doesn’t expect to keep quiet if his successor’s administration impedes on the “core values” of the United States.
Remarking on Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims, Obama on Monday’s The Daily Show told Trevor Noah that he will “have to say something” if Trump follows through on his campaign promise, or insists on a registry of all Muslims currently living the United States.
“If I thought a Muslim registry was being set up that violates the Constitution, violates who we are, and would make us less safe because it would make it easier for groups like [ISIS] to recruit and radicalize homegrown terrorists, I might have to say something about that,” he said.
Obama’s first Daily Show interview since Jon Stewart’s departure also touched on Russia’s alleged election tampering, the future of the Affordable Care Act and attempting to navigate the nation’s racial divide. An extended cut, clocking in at 22 minutes, can be seen its entirety here.
When he died, everybody had nice things to say about him.
According to Rush Limbaugh, Rosalynn Carter harangued her hubby to get in the face of the American people so he'd be remembered the same way.
Will he finally admit he is one?
“What we’re trying to determine is if there is ANYTHING THAT WILL SHUT YOU UP!”
Put something in his mouth!
There’s the door Obama. Now get out of here.
Obama must be fit to be tied. He is completely irrelevant. He is damn near forgotten as trump commands everyones attention.
Are you kidding me?
Obama will yammmer nonstop no matter what Trump does.
I don’t think it matters how much obama yammers. People just don’t care anymore. He’s been completely shut out. Trump is a vacuum, sucking up all of the MSM’s attention.

Oh, I’m so scared, Mr. Mom Jeans is so tough and frightening. Boo hoo, boo hoo......
Good for him! I encourage it!
As a private citizen, his opinion will have the same weight and credibility as nearly all of the US FReepers who post here.
Hopefully, the Trump Administration will afford him the same influence in the political process that he's afforded Conservatives for the past 8 years.
Welcome to the list. You are the reason for the creation.
There should be a registry of groups that promote the violent overthrow of our government: nazis, muzzies.
Yep, this sounds like one of those lines in the sand.....
who cares?
It’s time for the Ron Brown solution for eliminating communists...
We all know why Obama doesn’t want a Muslim list. There would be many names from our intelligence agencies on the list, thanks to Obama and his fellow Muslim, Brennan.
Stomp, stomp, stomp your foot, merrily , merrily, merrily, life is but a dream, azzhat!...
For God’s sake. Where did Trump ever suggest creating a registry?
This is as bad as the Globe and Mail analysis that Trump might invade Canada.
I notice he did not mention a Christian register, the most persecuted people in America, just the blood thirsty jihadi.
Obama is truly transparent.
