Obama pushes tolerance, respect in childhood home Jakarta
Associated Press ^ | Jul 1, 2017 11:34 AM EDT | Margie Mason

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.

What would be news?

If former President Barack Obama called for ‘tolerance’ of conservatives, deplorables, gun owners, women against choice and Americans who cling to their religion.

Now THAT would be impressive.

I don't understand this. If this is true, then why did President Obama engage in race baiting and division, along with constantly fanning the flames of grievance and hatred?

Last time I checked, Indonesia wasn’t a US state or territory.

So how the hell was this kenyan-Indonesian POS eligible to be elected President?

Oh, that’s right! The socialist-democrats cleared him.

Way to go you stupid effin leftists socialist democrat scumbag ASSHOLES for foisting this useless raging muslim POS upon the American people.

And the socialist-democrats don’t have a clue as to why their party is getting slaughtered in polls and votes.

Perhaps Indonesia will release Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, the Christians jailed for blasphemy. You know, as a demonstration of how tolerant they are.

[“What I was worried about was, ‘What are they going to write about me 20 years from now when I look back?’”]

By the end of PRESIDENT TRUMP’S unprecedented, successful 2nd term, PRESIDENT OBAMA will be a footnote in history, a president with zero legacy.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.

The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject as the result of having a foreign national father.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
According to this standard the recently deceased King of Thailand was eligible, he was born in Cambridge MA, as well as every anchor baby with no loyalty to the USA.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), George P Bush (one citizen parent) and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they ALL cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.

Someone thinks he is leader of the world. Then again, that is what Soros has been whispering in his ear for years.

Hey Barry, you took a false oath and spewed lies and deception about my country. It is a rotten shame none of the ‘natural born’ US citizens had standing to toss your lying butt out of our White House.

Even Roman leaders had someone whispering “Memento mori” (meaning “Remember that you’re going to die”) in their ears.

If he had worked honestly in the best interests of Americans, the last thing he would be worried about is what would be said of him in 20 years.

All this manchild spouts is horseshit lies and deceit. Never forget that a President of the United States stated that fellow Americans should have a boot to the neck. He let Americans die without a care in the world and the priorities were 8 years campaigning,vacation,golf and spending our money. He is and never has been American.

Shut up, Barky. You’ve never shown anyone an ounce of tolerance or respect in your entire misspent life.
