Following another week of dust-ups between the media and President Donald Trump, his predecessor shared a bit of wisdom Saturday from the other side of the world about tolerance and taking the daily news cycle in stride. “I wasn’t worried about what was in the newspapers today,” former President Barack Obama said during a nostalgic visit to Indonesia’s capital, his childhood home. “What I was worried about was, ‘What are they going to write about me 20 years from now when I look back?’”
Obama was greeted by a crowd of thousands, including leaders, students and businesspeople, in Jakarta, where he opened the Fourth Congress of Indonesian Diaspora. He is wildly popular in Indonesia, where many view him as an adopted son. A statue of the boy still remembered as “Barry” stands outside his old elementary school. He reminisced about moving to Jakarta in 1967 when he was just 6 years old, shouting, “Indonesia bagian dari diri saya!” or “Indonesia is part of me!”
Obama said he had been gorging on the local food since arriving. …

This fool needs to stay on his perma-vacation. It’ll be better for everyone.
“What I was worried about was, ‘What are they going to write about me 20 years from now when I look back?’”
-You screwed up the greatest health care system in the world.
“Tolerance” to the POS, Obama means, Do as I say and think....
Obama isn’t worried because he’s vacationing in non extradition States. It’s not the newspaper he’s worried about, it’s the Department of Justice.
Yeh Barry we ‘tolerantly’ put up with you for 8 long years.
Don’t forget about “You fought against God with respect to the institution of marriage that He created”. Not even gorging on dog meat will make that one go away.
How stupid were people electing someone who grew up in Indonesia.
Tolerance and respect.
Except, of course, for those ideas and people who disagree with him.
Some have the excuse of being dead, at least.
Whatever Obama is “pushing”, stay clear at all costs.
Does he have an explanation for wanting to spend time in that country as opposed to where NORMAL AMERICANS go to enjoy themselves? BUT on the other hand, he is closer to the terrorist action there, I guess! Just very strange to me.
Inquiring Americans hope:
Perhaps the ex-pRes_ _ent will give up
his US citizenship for a 2nd time to stay there.
Basically he is saying Indonesians need to be tolerated by racist Americans ... Obama, still thinking he can make islam peaceful while it disrespects us.
How many deaths of muslims he has caused so far this way?
“”I wasn’t worried about what was in the newspapers today,””
Which translated means:
I was worried about what was in the newspapers today....
Any more evidence needed that he was never an American?
Somebody told him that there’s a “John Doe” indictment waiting for his name when he’s in reach of the DOJ?
Hopefully in 20 years, you'll be drooling, or you'll be six feet under. I'd add "in a coma or unresponsive," but you already are.
I was watching “Year of living dangerously” about 1965 Communist uprising in Jakarta.
Looked VERY much like BLM riots.
Considering Obama was living in Jakarta at the time, it sure made you think!
