Former President Obama took to Twitter on Tuesday to share his New Year's message, saying "we've got a lot of work to do."
In 2018 people stepped up and showed up like never before, Obama said on Twitter.
Keep it up in 2019, he continued. Weve got a lot of work to do, and Ill be right there with you. Happy New Year, everybody!
Over the weekend, the former president also shared a few stories about some of the young leaders he said inspired him in 2018.
Obama ended his weekend series of tweets with the hope that his followers would also find inspiration in the stories he shared.
Leaders like Dejah Powell, who started an organization to bring health and wellness resources to communities on the South Side of Chicago, expanding food access and providing people the space and time to take care of themselves. Barack Obama (@BarackObama) December 29, 2018
Leaders like Moussa Kondo and Sandor Lederer, who are each doing their part to fight corruption in their native countries of Mali and Hungary. Two people separated by continents but united in their pursuit of a more just, transparent society. Barack Obama (@BarackObama) December 29, 2018
Leaders like Hong Hoang, who mobilized a youth-led movement to create a greener world after becoming the first Vietnamese person to visit Antarctica. Barack Obama (@BarackObama) December 29, 2018
Leaders like Jonny Boucher, a Chicago native who, after losing too many friends and family to suicide, started a coffee shop to offer emotional support and guidance to those who might be in need of a little more than a strong cup of coffee to get through their day. Barack Obama (@BarackObama) December 29, 2018
I hope you find inspiration in the stories of Dejah, Moussa, Sandor, Hong and Jonny. Their journeys began with a decision to build the better future they wanted to see. The same is true for you, he said.
So far, so good right. We still have Obamacare, no wall, more felons voting with your children n a fresh 10 billion dollar taxpayer gift to Mexico n central America with a fake wall funding fight.
Resistance pays.. democrats.
What kind of “work” does he and his minions have to do? What are those examples inspiring him to do, does he now have some type of organization like Carter and Habitat for Humanity?
No one told him? Ex+Presidents are best seen and not heard. Work the funeral circuit and STFU!
Absolutely Obama - we still have so much work to restore what you destroyed in 8 years. And we may not be able to correct the racism and hatred youve inspired in this country just do you could maintain power.
Be gone you insufferable twit.
I have nothing anywhere close to a "we", with you, you muslim-sympathizing treasonous, low-life imposter.
Please...just go away, already,
Or is this something Obummer came up with his own little self?
Thank you, Barry, for being the worst president ever. I never thought I would lose that title.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Carter
Seems to me the judge(s) who deemed thuggery, and violent actions as freedom of speech had their own agenda, and it wasn’t in favor of our Constitution.
I do believe that ruling must be looked at again.
Message of the law and the flesh: WORK! laced with GUILT.
Message of grace and truth: REST! laced with FAITH and God’s FORGIVENESS.
The first message is actually Satan’s message - the spirit of antichrist.
The second message is the Gospel of the Grace of Christ.
I’ll take the second message - ANY DAY!
No class.
Obamas 2019 message: ‘We’ve got a lot of work to do’...’I’m with you, I’ll be right here behind my WALL’...
The Clintons and Obamas cash in on the presidency

--SNIP--.....follow in path of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, both once men of modest means, who have capitalized on their years as president to become very rich. As a matter of fact, it was Bill and Hillary Clinton who set the standard for the selling of the presidency that Barack and Michelle Obama are currently following. And the Obamas are so good at making money that they are becoming richer than the Clintons, if that is possible. Like the Clintons, the Obamas are grabbing with both hands.
As a matter of fact, it was Bill and Hillary Clinton who set the standard for the selling of the presidency that Barack and Michelle Obama are currently following. And the Obamas are so good at making money that they are becoming richer than the Clintons, if that is possible. Like the Clintons, the Obamas are grabbing with both hands. The Clinton's reaped a fortune when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state during Obama's first term. She and Bill Clinton launched the Clinton Foundation. Countries seeking access poured billions into the allegedly non-profit foundation in what many called a pay for play operation. Speaking fees for both soared.
But the Obamas are outdoing the Clintons, and they are doing it without either of them holding public office, the way Hillary Clinton did.In addition to a joint $65 million book advance and a $50 million deal with Netflix that she shares with Barack, Michelle Obama is also raking in millions selling her memoir "Becoming" along with merchandise connected to the book in appearances across the country. She is also paid $225,000 to speak at group events. Barack, not to be outdone, gets a whopping $400,000 for a speech. He was paid $1.2 million in 2017 for three talks to the Wall Street firms he once criticized. Forbes estimated that the Obamas are now worth more than $135 million. And Obama gets an annual pension of $207,800. Every day is Christmas when you leave the White House the way the Clintons and the Obamas did.
AMEN to that!
I wish this jackass would go home to Kenya.
The great egotist does not realize how irrelevant he is.
There have been community organizers on the south side of chicago since Christ was a corporal.
Nothing has changed.
It ain’t the answer.
I was in 2nd grade collecting change for some U.N. fund to help feed the starvin african pagan babies.
63 years later, we’re still sending money to help feed the african pagan babies.
Nothing has changed.
It ain’t the answer.
