Useful idiots.
Seems like the scope and focus of these pictures is all very narrow. Could it be that a wider pan would show the pitifully few numbers?
They only had 400 of these idiots in Atlanta.
The peasants are revolting
Good catch, you're right. As I look again it appears there are only a couple hundred "protestors".
Some people should not be parents.
Impeachment should have happened a few years ago ... Congressional leadership lacked the guts to take on Bath-house Barry the Magic Negro.
Obama screwed the American public over royally.
He destroyed (a) health care, (b) our border defenses, (c) the military, (d) corporations, (e) our legacy allies....
He let Russia take advantage of us, created ISIS and destroyed jobs ...
Now thankfully out of power, Obama is a paper tiger. Even if the fake press---- after 8 years of a divided leadership and rebellious Democrats plotting to destroy the nation-----would have us believe otherwise.
I ‘heard’ on the news that the protest in New York was massive......I think they said 14,000. Are there pictures from New York? Since counting is so easily manipulated, I would love to see pictures from NY.

MORE GOOD STUFF The Democrats are reeling from Hillary's loss (not to mention their massive losses down ticket).
Reported elsewhere is that ex-Clinton staffers have moved into Democratic organizations shifting their focus to opposing Trump -- leading the party's resistance to Trump's actions:<><> Brian Fallon is now a senior adviser to Priorities USA.<><> Zac Petkanas transitioned from Clinton's director of rapid response to director of the DNC's war room.
BEST IS YET TO COME--Obama is stupidly wading in .......via his cockeyed non-profit OFA.

REFERENCE: Leaked Emails: Dems Think Obama’s Nonprofit OFA Army Destroyed The Democratic Party
Daily Caller | 2/17/17 | Rachel Stolzfuss / FR Posted by markomalley
Some Democrat leaders blame Obama’s grassroots nonprofit OFA for helping destroy the Democrat party, leaked emails show.
Democrat leaders and activists didn’t take kindly to the news that Obama relaunched Organizing For Action to supposedly "protect Obamacare."
Democrat leaders believe Obama's shadow OFA army drained valuable resources and energy from the official Democrat grassroots effort. OTOH, Obama said he launched OFA to mobilize Democrats in support of his — and the Democrat Party’s — agenda.--SNIP--
=====================================================
Demoralized Dems out of power, are pointing to Obama’s Nonprofit Army (OFA) as the thing that Destroyed The Democratic Party
DAILY CALLER---The thought among leaders of the decimated party is that Obama’s non-profit organization---OFA--- diluted the strength of the official state party apparatus, and contributed to the party’s devastating loss of power. Grassroots organizers and state party leaders have long criticized OFA both publicly and privately.
=============================================
“This is some GRADE A Bull**** right here,” a leader of the Louisiana Democratic Party, Stephen Handwerk, wrote in an email leaked to The Daily Beast. “It also to me seems TONE DEAF–we have lost over 1,000 seats in the past 8 years… all because of this crap.”
“Yes, it sure is,” Katie Mae Simpson, Maine Democrat leader. “OFA showed up in Maine, organized a press conference on saving [Obamacare], with one of our Dem legislative leaders, all without ever mentioning that they were in the state and organizing.”
====================================================
Striving to remedy the situation, this poster is being distributed to all Democrat offices across the nation.
Poster soon to be hanging in Democrat offices nationwide.
Thank you for posting that list.
Democrats should be outraged b/c Obama handed his famous state-of-the-art presidential election campaign apparat – the data, the staff, the fundraising – to his non-profit Organizing for Action.
Obama is training these agitators to aid and abet the further destruction of the Democrat Party.
More troubling for Democrats is the realization that eight years after Obama came into office, the Democratic Party is decimated at every level of government....losing 1000 seats since Obama came into office.
Democrats are mired in failure, thanks to the Obama drag.
Obama seems to delight in destruction.....whether its going after Trump....or failing to come to the aid of his own down-and-out party.
Each one of them should be taken to a detention center, made to select the country of their choice to be “repatriated to”, and then released for one month to arrange their affairs while the US government arranges their visa to emigrate.
After one month, they will be placed on an airplane and flown “home”.
Problem solved.
CALL CONGRESS-—http://www.contactingthecongress.org/
Demand OFA non-profit status be removed.
DEMAND CONGRESS MOBILIZE THESE AGENCIES AT ONCE:

TALKING POINTS: Obama-linked anti-Trump activists get a ‘training manual’ to protest Trump By Paul Sperry, NY POST
An Obama-tied activist group training tens of thousands of agitators to protest President Trump’s policies plans to hit Republican lawmakers supporting those policies even harder this week, when they return home for the congressional recess and hold town hall meetings and other functions.
Organizing for Action, a group founded by Obama and featured prominently on his new post-presidency website, is distributing a training manual to anti-Trump activists that advises them to bully GOP lawmakers into backing off support for repealing ObamaCare, curbing immigration from high-risk Islamic nations, and building a border wall.
In a new Facebook post, OFA calls on activists to mobilize against Republicans from now until Feb. 26, when “representatives are going to be in their home districts.”
The protesters disrupted town halls earlier this month, including one held in Utah by House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz, who was confronted by hundreds of angry demonstrators claiming to be his constituents.
The manual, published with OFA partner “Indivisible,” advises protesters to go into halls quietly so as not to raise alarms, and “grab seats at the front of the room but do not all sit together.” Rather, spread out in pairs to make it seem like the whole room opposes the Republican host’s positions. “This will help reinforce the impression of broad consensus.” It also urges them to ask “hostile” questions — while keeping “a firm hold on the mic” — and loudly boo the the GOP politician if he isn’t “giving you real answers.”
“Express your concern [to the event’s hosts] they are giving a platform to pro-Trump authoritarianism, racism, and corruption,” it says.
The goal is to make Republicans, even from safe districts, second-guess their support for the Trump agenda, and to prime “the ground for the 2018 midterms when Democrats retake power.”
“Even the safest [Republican] will be deeply alarmed by signs of organized opposition,” the Obama document states, “because these actions create the impression that they’re not connected to their district and not listening to their constituents.”
“Unfavorable exchanges caught on video can be devastating” for Republican lawmakers, it says, when “shared through social media and picked up by local and national media.” After protesters gave MSNBC, CNN and the networks footage of their dust-up with Chaffetz, for example, the outlets ran them continuously, forcing Chaffetz to issue statements defending himself.
—SNIP— Michelle and I are going to be with you. I’ve got all kinds of thoughts and ideas about it, but this isn’t the best time to share them. “Point is,” Obama says, “ I’m still fired up and ready to go, and I hope that all of you are, as well.”

I have a special, dark place in my heart for parents that use their kids as political props. Doesn’t matter if I agree with them, or not.
American national government works the best when it has two strong, well-organized political parties. Forces them to work together and figure out good answers, rather than pandering to one constituency or the other. BO's destruction of the Dem party from within will continue to destabilize Democrat politics for another decade or so. When their bench is currently Elizabeth Warren and Keith Ellison, they're in real trouble. Think where the Republicans were in 2006, and what happened subsequently to them.
Conservatives being ascendant right now is likely good in the short term, will help to reverse some of the more odious policies that have been enacted over the past 20-25 years. Never mind tax relief, just rolling back some of the enormous piles of regulation will ease the stranglehold that government has on American business. Hopefully will eliminate some of the judicial activism, too.
Long term, however? Bad news. Politicians *always* overstep, no matter what their politics, and the pendulum will swing back. Better that it swings closer to the center, rather than at the far edges we've been at for the past decade or so.
I’m 70. Before Obamacare, I used to go to the doctor for
routine checkups about twice a year. - Each time, I wrote
a check and paid my own doctor’s bill. It was a reasonable
charge.
Then, after Obamacare took hold, the charge immediately
escalated & when I hit 65; they didn’t even want my input.
The doctor interacted more with his computer screen than he
did with me (he had to in order to be sure he didn’t break
some Obamacare rule or the other.)
14,000 out of 8.3 million is pretty pathetic IMO.
