You say, Obama and Mandela. I say, Obama taking flirty selfies at Mandela's memorial service with the Danish PM, much to Michelle's displeasure.

But not Chris Matthews. On this evening's Hardball, Matthews said that Obama's post-presidential goal is to be "the next Mandela." You've got to be [insert unprintable modifier] kidding me!

Well, he is married to a nelson mandela-like “Winnie”, without any doubt.

Mandela went to prison because he was convicted of over 150 bombings with him as the leader of the radical, terror wing of the communist ANC party. They were directly collaborating with the Soviet Union. They also made famous the act of "necklasing" which is placing a gasoline soaked tire around your opponents neck and lighting it.

Yes, I can believe 0bama wantos to be like Mandela.

The next If Idi Amin, on Slimfast!

Is that Bernie Sanders?

[SkyDancer]

Good. Mandela spent 27 years in jail. Here's hoping.

[Sheapdog]

The last 5 years and maybe longer he had a nice house with a pool and whites to wait on his every whim prior to ascending his throne.

Mandela was a communist.

[TigersEye]

I noticed how he’s turning America into South Africa.

I think others have too.

[kaehurowing]

I hope that means spending the next 27 years in prison, which seems an appropriate term to me.

"Chris Matthews: Obama Plans to be 'Next Mandela'"

Well of course. That's only so obvious since they are both Marxist sociopaths intent on destroying any semblance of mankind's liberty and sense of self worth. There is always another Mandela, Marx, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Castro, Hitler, Caligula, Pol Pot, Robespierre and lets not forget the scummy little bully thug you came to know and love in grade school. They are after all, ALL THE SAME LITTLE ASSHOLES. Every society in the history of mankind has without exception had them and they've always stunk. The only surprising thing is that so many people always take them seriously and follow their inane ramblings as something "new and profound".

[Sicon]

27 years is short by half, at least...

[Crucial]

He’ll have to go to jail first!

[bray]

Isn’t that a step down to Cwissy?

Pray America wakes

[Senator_Blutarski]

Black rule has done for America what it has done for South Africa. And every other African nation that has moved to black rule.

[Paladin2]

OK, let’s put him in Gitmo’ for 20 years.

[Cvengr]

Obama, the Mandela of the transgenders.

[Mears]

Mandela was a violent man.

[SampleMan]

Before he can be the next Mandela, we will need to stick him in a jail cell for 30 years or so. Seems like a good trade.

Then we release him and send his ass to South Africa.

The President of the United States doing a Bucky Beaver impression during a “selfie”. Nice.
