Obama takes one more overseas vacation on the taxpayers' dime

Obama never misses a chance to disparage the United States while praising himself. Obama is visiting Greece, Italy, and Peru, for God knows what reason, except to take a last vacation on the taxpayers' dime.

Yesterday in Greece he said the election is not a referendum on his tenure and criticized the election as having a "dark side" of populist movements.

The Washington Post reported on November 15, 2016:

Obama, who made it clear during the course of the hour-long news conference that he did not view the recent U.S. election results as a referendum on his own tenure or world vision, suggested that targeting specific racial, religious ethnic groups could backfire[.] ... Obama ... made it clear that he sees a dark side to the kind of populist movements Trump's campaign embodied[.]

I have a feeling, that Obama will never quite go away.

Just as Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton never quite disappeared, I think that Obama will still be hanging around.

Republican presidents tend to get off the stage when their terms of office are done, but Democrats still are in the news.

Yup

Greece, a bankrupt nation he tried to emulate in the USA, "Sorry guys, I TRIED to give you a globull buddy ... Sometimes things just don't work out the way you plan"


Italy, a nation being over run by islamo muzzie radicals ... "Hang in there guys ... I'll be free to be more effective for ya after the inauguration"


Peru ................ Peru?

Must be to set up a drug path to wherever he plans to live

“Can’t happen...not allowed...” Uh, you’re not ‘allowed’ to destroy government records either. We’ve seen how that works. LOL!

” ... he did not view the recent U.S. election results as a referendum on his own tenure “

But, but ... Barky lectured black folks a couple weeks ago that he would consider it an “insult” to his “legacy” if they stayed home or strayed from the plantation and Clinton lost.
Oh well. What are you gonna do.

I don’t get Peru?

Were they on the short list of counties willing to entertain this putz?

Meanwhile no news on the obama ladies enjoying a last jaunt to Africa on taxpayer dollars?

I wish he would take several more.

He needs to spend a month in Chicago, supervising the bulldozing of a neighborhood for the coming erection of his presidential library.

Then he needs to spend another month in Hawaii, supervising the refinishing of a donated, suitable estate for him to relax at.

Then he can leave.

Just a little “warm-up” vacation before his annual Christmas vacation to Hawaii, all on the taxpayer dime. But not to worry, most democrats don’t pay taxes.

Obama’s probably complaining about global warming and how he want to reduce large carbon footprints of wealthy nations.

This trip seems really random. Did he have country’s names on ping pong balls, like a Powerball drawing?
