Former US President Barack Obama on Friday launched a blistering critique of President Donald Trump and Republicans and urged Democrats to vote in November’s elections to restore “honesty and decency and lawfulness” to government.
Speaking at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and quoted by Reuters, Obama said Americans were living in “dangerous times” and accused Republicans of undermining global alliances, cozying up to Russia and exploding the federal deficit.
“In two months we have the chance to restore some semblance of sanity to our politics,” Obama said. “There is only one check on abuses of power, and that’s you and your vote.” […]
Obama, who has frustrated some Democrats by keeping a relatively low profile since leaving office in January 2017, said Republicans seemed unwilling to safeguard democracy or offer a check on Trump’s policies or worst instincts.
“It’s not conservative; it sure isn’t normal. It’s radical. It’s a vision that says the protection of our power and those who back us is all that matters even if it hurts the country,” he said, according to Reuters. …

99.999999% of the time Obama talked about himself
But we slept through that one, didn’t we, lol?
Odumbo speaks,
The Jackals listen.
Get this pig under oath.Ask him what the FBI girlfriend (can’t recall her name) meant by “POTUS wants to know everything being done here”.
I wish Obama would just go away.
Decency and lawfulness are not words I associate with Obama.
He of the post-modern values FOAD!
Dismantling a radical agenda that was partially adopted is a radical act in and of itself.
So from one point of view, yeah, Trump is “radical”, but in a fire fight, those tactics adopted by one side are almost always equally adopted by the opposition. Rules of engagement and all, you know.
Be careful how you handle that can of worms once it is opened up.
The first job of a community organizer is to disorganize the community.
>>>vote in November’s elections to restore “honesty and decency and lawfulness” to government<<<
Hussein is developing a sense of humor, I see. Trump HAS started to restore honesty, decency, and lawfulness, which hasn’t been seen in the white house since REAGAN was president.
Exactly why Americans REJECTED your cocamamie plot of Hillary serving out your third term, sucker.
Well they’re really desperate if OB stepped out on deck. He upended the country throughout his Presidency so not surprising he’d also upend the tradition of former presidents declining to comment on their successors’ performance.....his legacy is in the dustbin of history...sounds like he wants to bring it back from the dead.
Kind of funny, the WORST president ever criticizing perhaps the BEST. Probably makes sense when you think of it. Trump makes Obama look so....insignificant.
“There is nothing more pathetic in life than a former president”..... said John Quincy Adams.
0bongo blasts poo from his top hole.
I know, Hussein, Trump should travel the world bowing to people and wearing a ‘kick-me’ sign like you.
Obama is setting a new ‘low’.. for how past Presidents behave.... the Bushes, Reagan and even Nixon did not ever try to undermine the sitting President. ..... the Obamas have no shame.
