President Obama used his final weekly address in 2016 to assure Americans that he will remain committed to defending the "progress" made by his administration after handing over the White House to Donald Trump on Jan. 20.
...
While the president initially indicated that he looked forward to a quiet retirement, at a time when many polls showed Democrat Hillary Clinton marching to victory in the presidential election, Obama has said his plans have changed since Trump ran away with the win.
"I promise you that next year Michelle and I are going to be right there with you, and the clouds are going to start parting and the sun is going to come back out, and we're going to be busy, involved in the amazing stuff that we've been doing all these years before," Obama told told supporters in late November. Obama also revealed then that his family plans to stick around Washington, D.C., for a few years while his younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school.
Touting strides made in expanding health insurance coverage, job creation, bringing troops back to the U.S. from Afghanistan and Iraq, and killing al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Obama said Saturday that the country has "made extraordinary progress as a country these past eight years."
The president said income is rising, poverty is falling and the auto industry is "resurgent." Turning to diplomacy, Obama said, "We shut down Iran's nuclear weapons program, opened up a new chapter with the people of Cuba, and brought nearly 200 nations together around a climate agreement that could save this planet for our kids." He also gave a nod to the 2015 Supreme Court ruling to grant nationwide marriage equality.

I certainly agree.
Remember Victor Yushchenko? "Somebody" fed dioxin to him.
(Obama might worry about Bibi, too! Could still be that there is video of his escapades in the Chicago bath houses.)
Personally, I’d prefer he be frog-marched out on the 19th (or 18th, or...).
But that’s just me.
Odumbo will be on those Sunday morning shows as a regular contributor, spewing what he thinks DJT should or should not be doing. The LSM will try as always to make what Odumbo says as the narrative. It's the lame stream media's only play.
As for office, I think he will eventually be the mayor of Chicago or Washington, DC.
But he won't take the mayor job until he has had a few years of wealth accumulation ala the Clinton's and their sham CF and CGI setups.
Russia would have to get in line, I imagine Britain would veto with extreme prejudice.
We want this freak as the face of the Dems for as long as possible.”
You have a very good point there. This jackass on MSM TV everyday bashing Trump positive achievements with Pelosi doing battle to stop Trump’s MAGA agenda will backfire big time.
Maybe by 2018 the rat party will be reduced from a coastal party to maybe just a Mexifornia party.
Just what I've been thinking. If any of his minions, like Hillary, Loretta, Susan Rice, or any others even way down the list were to be indicted or even seriously interrogated by a reformed FBI or Justice Dept. investigation, he is going to go silent, and slink off to parts unknown. Don't forget that NY AG has plenty of questions related to Bammy’s misdoings.

You get the idea.
No matter what he says now, he’s gone by summer.
He’s been humiliated by Putin, and on the world stage no less, and then by Trump on the same issue.
Once he begins to speak out, Trump is going to throw a few verbal shots at him as a warning.
Obama, of course, doesn’t have the intellect to notice Trumps warning, and Trump will begin with what Scott Adams calls ‘verbal kill shots’.
They are deadly, and Obama, if he is lucky, will disappear from the scene.
More likely, because he is clueless, he will stick around until Trump hits him with salvo after salvo of devastating shots.
Then he’ll be stuck with some moniker comparable to ‘low energy’, which is how Jeb will be remembered by.
Gone by summer.
No amount of therapy will help him. He is so delusional that he has no clue about reality.
He reminds me of a mental patient who is blithely living in his own happy little world, unaware of what’s happening all around him. His caretakers see to it that he is fed and clothed and they don’t attempt to correct his delusions because to do so only brings rage and frustration. He can’t handle reality, so they don’t impose it on him.
As a fitting, and deserved, ‘send off’ he should to shot out of a cannon towards the East (Mecca).
Same here. I'm all for his continuing to drive white people away from considering themselves Democrats.
CNN — beaten out by HGTV in the 2016 cable/satellite ratings.
If we FReepers didn’t post CNN fake news here, folks might forget about CNN altogether. Couldn’t hurt to try.
Maybe he and Hillary will host a tv show together. Would love to see/hear how many viewers would tune in. I refuse!
Trump can do this by Executive Order. Better yet, Have “his” Security people review everything about Obama. They have a right to his Selective Service, college paperwork, drivers licence(s), property ownership, immigration records, etc...
All Trump has to do is show Obama is a National Security issue. It doesn’t matter that BO is an ex POTUS. His status now will be checked.
Questions any normal investigator would have already asked:
Did BO ever have a Drivers Licence? How was it obtained? When and where did he obtain the SS #’s he uses ? This will lead to who he really is. Records may be changed or disappeared but something will be found.
Trump played his hand very well with the Birther issue. He hasn’t commented. Believe Me. Trump knows everything. BO is just stirring up trouble to deflect attention.He knows he will be found out. He just wants to get all his stolen money first.
IronJack: Oh yes you will ...
“this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal” 2008
“I promise you that next year Michelle and I are going to be right there with you, and the clouds are going to start parting and the sun is going to come back out”. 2016
In other words, you liberals are on your own. Obama is signaling that he's moving on to a bigger, better game.
Suckers.
