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.

True, but unless and until Trump purges the federal bureaucracy of 0bama’s minions, they will cause trouble.
By charter, the Sec General cannot come from any of the five permanent members of the Security Council.
Like golf is some amazing stuff.
So, what will he do? Will he be on Meet The Press and other shows regularly, bashing Trump? Will he run for Senator or some other political office? Will he write another book and rake in $$$? Will he and Michelle set up a money laundering foundation as the Clintons did? Can a narcissistic personality such as him stay in the background for long??
“He’ll damn sure be leaving the frigging White House. You can bank on it.”....
I don’t care if he is dragged out kicking and screaming or “feet first”, he IS GOING. Like a dropped of dog just outside of town, he’ll keep coming back until someone decides enough of him is ENOUGH!
He’s lazy, a zero work ethic kind of guy. A slacker many millenials aspire to. He will sleep late, vacation, and continue to be useless.
And this is why no one whose brain is addled by drugs should ever be elected to a public office.
He’ll be in the federal penitentiary with Trumps DOJ is done with him.
The difference still being that neither he nor the DNC has functional and hierarchical control of the government, however. Obama and the DNC may try to control the narrative through the sympathetic/complicit media, but Trump has already shown how they can be bypassed - rather dramatically, in fact.
This is really from the Onion, I hope.
The democratic party knows it needs to swing back right to get the middle american voter again...
Obama will make sure that doesn't happen because that means repudiating his failed progressive policies...
I hope Obama stays as busy as a beaver leading his party into oblivion...
Perhaps the Trump Administration can find a different court to overturn the sealing of those documents, if they still exist.
Does he really believe anybody is going to take him seriously anymore?
That he an just park his Whinebago outside the Whitehouse and can broadcast Islamic prayers all day?
How long before this foreign born, enemy islamist SOB is arrested?
“poverty is falling “
Is that why so many are on food stamps?
That is a given and don’t think Trump and his people don’t know about it.
“”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,””
Has the man ever kept a promise he made when he took office or even uphold his oath of office?
“stuff that we’ve been doing all these years” - not on our dime anymore, buster - except we can’t do anything about your pension. We PROMISE we would if we could!!!
From Judicial Watch:
For a couple that has spent eight years apologizing for their country, the Obamas have nevertheless managed to enjoy its taxpayer-provided bounty.
This week, thanks to the work of our intrepid investigators and hard-charging lawyers, we released to the public several reports from the Secret Service and the Air Force that bring the known total of Obama travel expense over the past eight years to a staggering $96,938,882.51.
The left and the jihadis reason for being is constant revolution. That’s all they know.
Years ago, I had a boss at work that was utterly incompetent and he was replaced by somebody new. He decided to stay on in a lesser position so that he could "guide" the new boss and be available for consultation. He thought for sure that after a few weeks of the new boss, everybody would be clamoring for his return.
Well he was immediately frozen out and the department was completely overhauled for the better. After a couple months, the old boss just stopped showing up for work. We never saw or heard from him again until it was revealed that he was working as a night shift manager for some fast food joint.
