Disregard all those farewells; Obama isn't really leaving
McClatchy DC ^ | January 17, 2017 | Andrew Malcolm

Posted on 01/17/2017 6:03:42 AM PST by browniexyz

Donald Trump will give his closely-watched Inaugural address this week. It will be a great one. Trust him. Fantastic even. Possibly beyond belief. Because he’s a great speech-giver. Everyone knows that. He does too.

But before then, Barack Obama – remember him? – gave a farewell address to Americans, many of whom have stopped paying attention to a lame duck and all his goodbyes.

After the long goodbye, Obama is not really leaving! This is unprecedented! Or shall we say, a la Trump, unpresidented!

But how can we miss him if he won’t go away?

He’s like a severe case of body lice. Tough to get rid of.

Long goodbye? It hasn’t stopped yet? It is getting to be like the “Never Ending Farewell,” frankly. With apologies to the “Never Ending Story” saga of course.

Just take your mooch and your fake heritage and pack your shit and get out of the White House by Friday.

Trump was right, we have been unpresidented for eight years because Barky was never eligible to be President.
He was born a British subject because of his foreign national father and is not a natural born citizen.

Like a bad case of (fill in the blank).

The stuff that won’t go away.

He needs to find a good golf course. If he can find one that wants him and won’t hurt his little feelings.

Gosh, I'm not so sure. O is lazy. I could see a situation where his vacations and golfing eventually take over all of his time. I wish someone would help O buy an NBA team, just so we could be sure he'd leave politics.

BO plans to break the behavior of decency of all ex-presidents by undermining the first decent man in the WH since 2008. Never before in the history of US president’s has such disgusting behavior been witnessed. This bastard child of a white slut with some unknown African is proving why the world becomes a far worse place when degenerates like him are put into affirmative action positions.

The best way for Trump to shut down Obama and his lapdog media sycophants is to deliver on his promises.

This is EXACTLY why Trump must PROSECUTE, ARREST, and IMPRISON Obama when he is out of office.

“he is terminal cancer to the democrats so I hope he keeps running his mouth. God has set up this guy for a disgraceful fall. Trump will show the world how truly inept this clown was as President”

Agree. Eventually, his lecturous condescending professorial style will begin to grind even on his most devoted followers....

The liberal media is hoping that Obama will morph into some political superhero that will somehow magically stop every "evil Trump scheme" with just his magical oratory. What they fail to recall is that he couldn't even change any minds or get his own agenda approved when he was President. Just who is he going to persuade? The Republicans in Congress? The public? Heck even the democrats realize that his political career is over and he can never run again, so what political capital does he have?

I have a feeling, over the course of the next few months Obama will come out and give a few anti-Trump speeches over things like Obamacare, they will get a ton of glowing press coverage, but elicit little more than a yawn from Congress and not change the political dynamic any. Then as the media realizes he is not the savior they need, they will quickly turn their sites on other potential 2020 democrat candidates to lead the party, and once Obama realizes he isn't getting the media love he craves, he will slink back into obscurity to write his memoirs...

Much ado over nothing. At approx. 12:05 pm on Friday, Obama will cease to be relevant. He can hang around DC all he wants and yip-yip-yip like an annoying poodle but nobody is going to be listening to him.

Remember Bill Clinton in 2001? That was supposedly the "long goodbye" too and yes, the media fawned over him all during Inauguration Day. But he was quickly forgotten about and faded away like Jimmy Carter and if not for Hillary, we would have been mostly spared his gaunt visage over the past election campaign.

An oldie but a goodie from "Somewhere in Time":

Maid: "There must be SOMETHING you like about him."

Elyse McKenna: "Yes. His absence."

This is different, very different. His advisers, such as Samantha Power, have publicly vowed they are NOT disappearing.

Trump has practically neutered the media that created B. HUSSEIN Obama and his husband Michael. Trump will not have a problem, at all, with Barry Soetero.
I heard that Trump is build a lavish bath house in Washington, D. C. called “Barry’s House.”
