WASHINGTON (AP) -- Closing out a tumultuous year, President Barack Obama sought to lay the groundwork Friday for his last year in office by vowing not to fade in the background but instead use his remaining months to push longstanding goals to fruition.
"In 2016, I'm going to leave it all out on the field," he said. "Wherever there's an opportunity, I'm going to take it."

Barky says he isn’t going to fade away?
I’m still holding out hope that at some point, the patience of the Almighty will be exhausted and He will lob an Old Testament style lightning bolt at that Kenyan sack o’ sh*t and light him up like a Christmas tree.

Even if he does leave office on Jan 20 2017 (or sooner), he is not the kind of ex-president who will shut up, ever.

Indeed he will not, given McDorkell and RINOyan serving as his pet boinking sheep in the butt kissing section of the gubmit.

It is implied in this that Obamugabe considers himself untouchable and that conservatives/tea-party types don’t have the balls to shut him down. He may yet rue that implication.

He probably wonât leave office. Part of me wishes that would happen. If any portion of this country is ever going to fight back, that should do it. If this didn't cause a civil war, at least we would officially know the grand experiment was over.

Yup, after a Republican President is elected, the drive-bys will be adoringly putting a mic in front of him asking his opinion on EVERYTHING!
