Former President Barack Obama came out of retirement Friday afternoon to slam President Trump,  take credit for the Trump economy, berate Republicans, lecture the country on civility and more.

In addition, he did his best to talk about rebuilding the Democrat Party he destroyed. During his presidency, the Party lost more than 1,000 seats from the local to the federal level.

He also claimed he's pro-free speech, despite his Justice Department spying on reporters and their executives. This included taking their phone records and naming at least on Fox News reporter as a criminal conspirator, which required Attorney General Eric Holder's DOJ to lie to a federal judge.

From the New York Times: 

The Obama administration, which has a chilling zeal for investigating leaks and prosecuting leakers, has failed to offer a credible justification for secretly combing through the phone records of reporters and editors at The Associated Press in what looks like a fishing expedition for sources and an effort to frighten off whistle-blowers.

On Friday, Justice Department officials revealed that they had been going through The A.P.’s records for months. The dragnet covered work, home and cellphone records used by almost 100 people at one of the oldest and most reputable news organizations. James Cole, a deputy attorney general, offered no further explanation on Tuesday, saying only that it was part of a “criminal investigation involving highly classified material” from early 2012.

Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. said he could not comment on the details of the phone records seizure, which he said was an open investigation — although he was happy to comment on the open investigation into the tax audits of conservative groups, which he said might have been criminal and were “certainly outrageous and unacceptable.”

I'll leave you with this.

Odumbo cost me almost $40k in savings the last two years before I had to retire because of the change in insurance laws and costs to insurance. I'd wish him dead but every affirmative action acolyte in the US would name every street in the country they could after him and confusion when traveling would reign.

0bama and ‘RATs, ask not for whom the bell tolls.

[jmacusa]

Amen. We’ve GOT to take Congress.

Ex Presidents usually shut up.

Barry is inviting an unfavorable comparison with his successor

He can’t help himself. President Trump is right; he’s good for a snoozefest.

[Theodore R.]

So many tens of millions will in Obama for all time. They are convinced he did something to “help” them.

[wastedyears]

I hate that guy.

[goldstategop]

He has the already converted.

A miserable failure like him won’t affect the mid-terms because he is a private citizen.

His TelePrompTer eloquence can’t hide the fact his legacy has been dismantled.

And he’s enraged his eight year tenure was for nothing. Good.

Fires not out yet berry. Keep it burning and the blue wave will be the flush of Democrats out of office.

I would pay to find out who produced this faked-up "Such Good Friends Act" for Hillary 2016.

"I despise you, Hillary but I need you to serve out my third term, This guarantees you winning the Presidency.
My people love it when I get touchy-feely."

[goldstategop]

If he causes the Democrats to hemorrhage another 1000 seats, I’ll kiss him for a job well done!

[Liz]

[goldstategop]

What people don’t realize is he cost Hillary the White House.

Obama has a reverse Midas Touch. People soon forget he’s been nothing but a Typhoid Mary for the Democrats.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

>>>He’s the kiss of death for Democrat candidates.<<<

And the Chicago White Sox, his favorite team, is still doing rather poorly, they look quite peckish.

[cableguymn]

I’ll buy him a beer. But no kiss ;)

[Liz]

That he did.......Hillary must be eaten away at the thought.

I heard about this ridiculousness on the radio yesterday. Obama thinks he is responsible for the economy and Trump is stealing the glory. Pfft

[windsorknot]

Barack Øbama is a overrated, glorified meadow muffin.

[EdnaMode]

The condescending lecturing of the left is such a turnoff.

[HollyB]

I can just see this post getting screen grabbed and making JR and FR look awful. Please keep that last sentence off FR. Thx
