WASHINGTON When President Obama travels to North Carolina and Europe this week, he will press an argument that could define foreign policy in the last six months of his presidency: that Americans and Europeans must not forsake their open, interconnected societies for the nativism and nationalism preached by Donald J. Trump or Britains Brexiteers.
Few presidents have put more faith than Mr. Obama in the power of words to persuade audiences to accept a complex idea, whether it is the morality of a just war or the imperfect nature of American society. Yet countering the anti-immigration and anti-free-trade slogans in this election year will require all of his oratorical skills.
In Warsaw, Mr. Obama will sit next to Britains lame-duck prime minister, David Cameron, whose political career was ended by his miscalculation over holding the referendum on European Union membership. But first, in Charlotte, N.C., he will campaign with Hillary Clinton, his former secretary of state and the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who reversed her position on Mr. Obamas Asian trade deal, formally called the Trans-Pacific Partnership, after many in her party turned sharply against free trade.

Will he take these Teleprompters with him or will he have to buy his own ?
To: Hojczyk
All he needs is his pen and his phone.

You see his “powers” when the teleprompter goes blank and he is in full gibberish/stutter mode. Cant even complete one single thought.

With HW, it was the New World Order. Then Bubba had the Third Way. W continued the same path with his equality nonsense. Bam Bam took a hard left. Western Civilization isn’t happy.

Just add a God echo and the LIVs will swoon.
Just watch the clapping seals when all the Obama networks covers his glorious speeches and they swoon.
King Obie approval rating at 51% on Gallop and 54% on ABC News/Wash Post. If, as I have believed for almost 8 years, this king is the worst President of my life time, then the pollsters and/or the American people have been dumbed down to the lowest level in my lifetime. I NEVER BELIEVED HUSSEIN WOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED A SECOND TIME - IMHO SHRILLARY IS A SHOE IN, GIVEN THE MEDIA ADORATION FOR THIS CRIMINAL.

Obama probably has at least 25, or 30 years of energetic life left with which to fly around the globe at our expense and use his oratory skills to continue his battle against America.

Give up your national identity and join the mass of nothingness that is globalization. Globalization is nothing but a thinly veiled attempt to spread Islam to the whole world.

For all the people who buy into this globalization crap I always think back to an old song and the sentiment of this line:
“And the unicorns looked up from their rocks and they cried”.
