I wish other former presidents would follow his lead and go graciously and quietly into retirement.

I agree - he never said a word on Obama and he shouldn’t start now.

I never want to see our hear another Clinton, Bush, Obama or Romney again after Nov. ‘16. To the dustbin of history with all of them.

“Obama’s gonna linger like a bad fart.”

Yup. Every large city in the country will have a Barack Obama Avenue within 10 years.

The dad certainly is frail. This is the son, though.

He is retired and doesn't have to be in the limelight all the time.

Plus, how much of a plus would his presence be for the party even now?
