Former US President Barack Obama has launched a stinging attack on Donald Trump and the "crazy stuff that is coming out of this White House".
"This is not normal, these are extraordinary times and they are dangerous times," Mr Obama told students at the University of Illinois.
He called for "a restoration of honesty and decency and lawfulness in our government".
The ex-president has kept a low profile since he left office in 2017 until now.
Mr Obama told Friday's awards ceremony in Urbana, Illinois, that he had been intending to follow the American tradition of former presidents exiting the political stage.
He instead launched into a searing attack on the current Republican administration.
In response, President Donald Trump said at a Republican fundraiser in Fargo, North Dakota, on Friday that he had watched his predecessor's speech, "but I fell asleep".
Mr Obama was trying to take credit for "the incredible things happening to our country", he added....

Adding one more: “It was you who stood by and gave not one word of support to the Iranian Green Movement who dared stand up to the mullahs in a bid for freedom, and were mowed down by Basiji thugs.
"Crazy stuff" Like getting the economy booming, strengthening NATO, bringing the NORKs to the table to stop their NUKE program, returning CHRISTIANITY to the white hut, having a WOMAN as First Lady instead of a dude?
Trump gives his speeches in the evening to working people, after they have worked all day,.....and he packs them in.
“stuff” is still one of his favorite words. He will crawl back under his rock when people start talking about the corruption that went on under his watch or when his minions start squealing to stay out of jail.
He called for “a restoration of honesty and decency and lawfulness in our government”.
Unbelievable. He and Hillary destroyed it and are getting away with it. He wants to restore people to power that will continue to hide their crimes.
This is not normal, these are extraordinary times and they are dangerous times,”
That quote can’t be correct. I’m sure it sounded more like.....This is not uuuhh normal, these are uhhhh extraordinary uhhhhh times and uhhhh they are uhhhh dangerous times.
“a restoration of honesty and decency and lawfulness in our government”.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That is what we are trying to do.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation corrupted our entire government.
how many times will FakeNewsMSM say he’s kept a “low profile” when he and his family (and the Clintons) have continued to dominate their headlines - all positive - since Trump became president?
public-funded BBC is so anti-Trump, you would have to believe they are covering for British involvement in the Russian hoax story.
taxpayer-funded ABC in in Australia is no different. this link goes to a page of anti-Trump stories on a “Trump’s America” page - not one on the booming US economic data. uses Reuters/AP to do the criticising:
8 Sept: ABC Trump’s America: Reuters/AP: Barack Obama gives scathing critique of Donald Trump and US ‘politics of fear’
Obama and Trump at odds over economic recovery
Mr Obama also jabbed Mr Trump on the issue the current president frequently heralds as one of his greatest achievements: the strong economy.
Mr Obama reminded the audience that the economic recovery began during his administration and defended his handling of the 2008 economic collapse.
“When you hear how great the economy’s doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started,” he said...

FakeNewsMSM is the enemy of the people.
"This is not uuuhh normal, these are uhhhh extraordinary uhhhhh times and uhhhh they are uhhhh dangerous times."
We don't call him Obam-uh for nothing.
He should take over his father’s cult, Subud, and leave politics to people with real birth certificates.
SEPT 2016-— officials from the State, Justice and Treasury departments said Obama’s $1.3 billion to Iran was paid in cash on Jan. 22 and Feb. 5. The money came from a little-known fund administered by the Treasury Department for settling litigation claims. The so-called Judgment Fund is taxpayer money Congress has permanently approved in the event it’s needed, allowing the president to bypass direct congressional approval to make a settlement. The U.S. previously paid out $278 million in Iran-related claims by using the fund in 1991.
Republicans have decried the payments as ransom, a charge that Obama administration has rejected.....a group of Republican senators announced their support for legislation that would bar payments from the Judgment Fund to Iran until Tehran pays the nearly $55.6 billion that U.S. courts have judged that it owes to American victims of Iranian terrorism.
UPDATE H.J.Ansari Zarif, the deputy for parliamentary and Iranian affairs within Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said he would expose “everyone who allegedly accepted bribes” to facilitate Obama’s nuke deal with Iran. “... we will reveal which western politicians received monies during nuclear negotiations to make #IranDeal happen,” Mr. Zarif reportedly said.
Aha....the plot thickens. This also explains why Obama blithely handed over billions of tax dollars to Iran. Looks like Obama and his crowd got filthy rich on this deal.
In case you wondered how the Halfrican intended to pay for his billion dollar final resting place dedicated to the Sun God….”Obama’s “presidential center.” NOTE: Obama said no federal funds will be used......just tax dollars with an Iranian postmark.
Bingo! The wizard of uhhhs
Maybe he got “The Siff” from the bathhouses....
Every week of ObamaIdiot’s presidency, ‘crazy stuff’ was happening or taking place......the crown jewel being ObamaIdiot and a large part of his staff being involved with framing Trump before and after Trump’s election to POTUS.
