If Obama truly believed this, he would leave his front door open every night and refuse Secret Service help.

I posit that the exact thing we need to bring back is “a crude sort of nationalism or ethnic identity or tribalism”.

It worked for 200 years. It will work in the future.

We all know that Obama will NOT "go softly into that dark night".

He will NOT retire to the Chicago or Hawaii sticks...he will remain in the DC/NYC beltway with plans to become a globalist spokesman and international commentator (making big bucks as a speaker and "expert consultant", a la the machinations of the Clinton Crime Family).

He will be a travelling street agitator, community organizer and perpetual divider albeit on a much grander stage and on a more lucrative scale than when he pimped votes on the ChiTown street corners.

His bony moving finger will dip into both foreign and domestic affairs of socialist and third world countries as he jets around the globe.

And he's still comparatively young and ambitious enough to be around for a loooooooong time.

This last-minute foreign tour he's on right now is NOT to conduct critical U.S. business, but is deliberately planned to set up the basis for his future overseas contacts and political marks....at taxpayers' expense, of course.

And remember, Obama has already in place HIS OWN foundation which was set up a number of years ago.

However, he will be very clever and not make the same glaring mistakes the Clinton Foundation made.

Like the sticky paper on the circus clown's hands and feet, it will be a long time before he's gone from the world stage.

To paraphrase King Henry II in Shakespeare, "Will no one rid us of this troublesome priest (of darkness)?"

Obama who has done more to divide America along lines of race, class, gender and ideology warns us about crude nationalism.

What chutzpah! From a community organizer agitator we get a lecture about tolerance and brotherhood!

Obama needs to go look in the mirror.

Soros and Obama will keep the flame for totalitarianism growing forever. As they fall, replacements will rise to pick up the torch.

God help us.

Hi Leni,

I suspect Obama is a tad too lazy to be an activist agitator once he has stepped down from the pinnacle. I see a man who has achieved the max, and would be satisfied sitting on his laurels in a golf cart. I have the impression he and Moochelle will remain in the D.C. area only until their youngest daughter leaves the nest.

Maybe I'm way off base, but I don't see much of a motivated man in BHO.

...adding that the United States was also painfully aware of how "dangerous" it was to "(divide) ourselves along lines of race or religion or ethnicity."

You know, like Obie...with his "Just us" department, for example.

That punk cannot leave office soon enough.

As opposed to refined nationalism?

Do these people ever actually listen to what is falling out of their pie holes?

"We are going to have to guard against a rise in a crude sort of nationalism or ethnic identity or tribalism that is built around an ´us´ and a ´them´ ...

Obama has pretty much fomented a push back against his Democrat, race hustling, brown shirts and thugs who PRIDE themselves in their ethnic identity and tribalism, specifically built around 'us' and 'them'.

As we saw, Trump's victory wasn't "crude" in any sense of the word. We have exercised considerable restraint by not responding in kind, when Trump supporters exercising their 1st Amendment guaranteed right of assembly were physically assaulted by DNC and Hillary's minion. But the days are coming when law enforcement will properly preform its function, instead of winking at these abuses.

And once Trump is in office we can all begin to move from crude nationalism to refined nationalism.

Good one!
I’m hoping for a more sophisticated, Mark Steyn sort of nationalism.
