In his second term, the outgoing US president has grown fond of fundamental considerations. Now, at press conferences, his responses are long and philosophical. His speech in Athens, perhaps the last he will make as US president on European soil, fit the pattern perfectly. All in all, it was about democracy and his steadfast belief in the democratic political order. The problem is that its present form is doomed to failure, as some of its most important traits, achievements and outgrowths are now attacking their own foundations.
Almost like a schoolteacher, Barack Obama explained to his audience why free press is so important for democracy. He told them that the press exposes wrongdoing and makes politicians accountable — basically, he explained what the fourth estate does.
The problem in today’s media landscape is that opinion sites, like “Breitbart”, for example, acting under the guise of free press, no longer serve this purpose. Actually, the opposite holds true: They are contributing to the fall of democracy, as they do not foster the formation of democratic opinions, but instead, torpedo democracy with falsehoods and agitation. …

Awesome at reading from a teleprompter. And summoning paralegals instead of paramedics.

Home of his favorite agricultural product.
(Hint: Also known as Peruvian Marching Powder)
Europeans have long watched this boil on humanity grow and create Malaise on its soft body.
They have yearned for a doctor to heal them and look forward to full treatment beginning January 20th, with the first round lasting four years.
Oh Missr Obama welcome.
Hello supreme leader, how may I prostitute before you - is this low enough.
That’s Obama’s legacy on the world stage.
There is no way to recover.
While in Athens, obama encountered the goddess Athena. She was wearing a Trump/Pence button.
That's hardly "criticism"....
That is great question. He didn't accomplish anything and he didn't intend to accomplish anything. He did manage to spend millions more of our tax dollars and ( I say this sarcastically) fill the air with earth destroying CO2.
May we all be fervent in repentance that the Lord finds our nation worthy of his healing spirit. We've been given opportunity with the election of President Trump.
God bless the United States.
Without Obama, all those muzzies wouldn’t now be taking over Greece. He’s destroyed their future.
Wonderful Mel Carter song.
He’s getting in as many freebie vacations as he can.
What did he say more times, uuuhhh or I?

Pretty sure the TPP is dead.
To see the Parthenon. It was on his bucket list.
Next, he goes to Peru. You may ask, "Why did he go to Peru, anyway?"
To see Macchu Picchu. It was on his bucket list.
Message? We don’t need no stinkin’ message. Just LEAVE.
“sites, like “Breitbart”, for example, acting under the guise of free press, ... torpedo democracy
with falsehoods and agitation.”
Max, there is no “guise of free press”: either there IS a free press or there is NOT a free press. I see MULTIPLE falsehoods and agitation on a daily basis from WaPo, NYT, ABC, CBS, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, LA Times, Salon, Slate, Vox, New York Daily News, Boston Globe, AP, McClatchy and all the rest. It sounds to me that you would have to ban all of the above under your “guise of free press” theory. Or is it just that you want to ban the Brietbart’s of the world because you disagree with what they publish? I thought so. Autocrats like yourself everywhere wish to ban everyone with whom they disagree, under the “guise of free speech”, naturally.
I heard he’s also going to Peru. Seems odd.
Gots to finish the Taxpayer dime World tour
He HAS no message and the Greeks were probably soooo tired of listening to his inane ramblings about me, me, me.
His apology tour at the beginning of his administration has become a whining tour at the end.
