WASHINGTON â President Obama used his seventh and final State of the Union address to deliver a rebuke to Donald Trump and other Republicans who want to undo his legacy â blasting politicians who "insult Muslims" and want to "slam the brakes on change."
"America has been through big changes before â wars and depression, the influx of immigrants, workers fighting for a fair deal, and movements to expand civil rights," Obama told lawmakers of both parties gathered in the House chamber for the prime-time televised speech Tuesday night.
"Each time, there have been those who told us to fear the Âfuture, who claimed we could slam the brakes on change .â.â. And each time, we overcame those fears," Obama said.
It was just one of several passages clearly aimed at Trump, whose slogan is "Make America Great Again" and who has dominated the polls with an appeal to cut off Muslim immigration to the United States, build a wall along the Mexican border and make better deals with China and other nations.
"We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion,â Obama said at another point. âThis isnât a matter of political correctness. Itâs a matter of understanding what makes us strong."
Moving on to ISIS, Obama fumed that "over-the-top claims that this is World War III just play into their hands."

The State Of The Union speech was one of the most boring, rambling and non-substantive I have heard in a long time. New leadership fast! 11:32pm - 12 Jan 16
Boo wahahahahahahahaha! Trump is coming!
Liberal Left-Wing Professor takes on successful Businessman.
Trump isn’t scared of the illegal alien, homosexual, muslim ankle biters.
That faggot, Muzzie, SOB, Barry needs arrested and imprisoned before he can make his exit to the Muzzie wonderland next year. He's absolutely a traitor and has clearly violated his oath of office.
I hope the FBI closing in on Hillary has unearthed enough dirt to get the present and former heads of the Justice Dept. so a case against Hillary has a clear path to proceed because that wench would rat out every one she had the least bit of dirt on.
JMHo
Undo his “legacy”? That would be a good thing. Despite his proclamations(lies), the economy still sucks. Wasting tax dollars on a non-existent “problem”. Cutting the military back to sub par levels doesn’t make us the strongest military. At least in my definition of strongest. Creating more divisiveness than I’ve ever seen in my 68 years. Allowing “feelings” to control just about everything. Trying his hardest to violate/subjugate our rights. Yeah, I’d say undoing would be a good thing. Bye felicia.
The plan is to destroy America through immigration, exactly as Europe has been destroyed.
Trump (and his support) is all that stands in the way.
If ISIS uses chemical weapons the country may wake up.
The cream of the crop MSM is fast asleep in love with their own selves. They promoted Obama putting him in office.
Now, the country is left with a mess that will take years to clean up. Thank you MSM Media and Democrats who vote for such garbage.
Here wasn’t a professor, only an instructor. In academia that makes a world of difference.
Might as well toss in a whole bunch of RINO’s in to the mix too.
Obama is Mr. Executive Action. He appointed Czars and will continue to be out of control with Executive Action. Can Congress or the Supreme Court stop this wrecking ball President?
Trump will probably address Obama’s comments during tomorrow’s debate.

Obama a very UN Presidential person.
Obama wasn’t initially even hired as an instructor. Political pressure had to be brought to bear, to get him the gig.
“Liberal Left-Wing Professor takes on successful Businessman.”
Wasn’t this the theme of “Back to School” with Rodney Dangerfield?
According to John Lott, Obama was a “part-time lecturer”, a position he was given to bolster his academic credentials in his quest for political office. (They taught at the University of Chicago at the same time.)
“Here wasnât a professor, only an instructor. In academia that makes a world of difference.”
That’s exactly right. An instructor is at the bottom of the university or college teaching totem pole, a professor is at the top. Many instructors teach part-time, and often get few or no benefits. By the way, Obama is no “Constitutional expert” either, as the MSM likes to call him. Obama is a fraud on so many levels. He truly was a Manchurian candidate.
