Obama: once out of office, I’m gonna stop being polite and start getting real
Vox ^ | 9/23/16 | Andrew Prokop

**SNIP**

But perhaps the most intriguing bit was when, in a brief discussion of Obama’s plans for his post-presidency, Obama hinted that he planned to start speaking out more like an activist than a president.

There are “things,” he told Goodwin, “that in some ways I suspect I’m able to do better out of this office.” He elaborated that because of the “institutional constraints” of the presidency, “there are things I cannot say.”

He went on to essentially say he wanted to use his post-presidential bully pulpit more like an activist than a venerable elder statesman. “There are institutional obligations I have to carry out that are important for a president of the United States to carry out, but may not always align with what I think would move the ball down the field on the issues that I care most deeply about,” he said.

Barky is going to unleash his Inner Communist once he leaves office.

Or his Inner Muslim.

Or both.

Apparently there’s only so much he can say or do from the gold course.

“I’m gonna stop being polite and start getting real...”

Wasn’t that a line of Dr.Evil’s in the Austin Powers videos?

Obama just signed a ten year 40 billion dollar arms agreement with Israel. And, he can’t play it of as politics because it wasn’t a campaign issue.

Liberals are surely pissed off royally about this deal.

Obama will walk this back huge and attack Israel.

I’m not making a threat when I say he had better hire a lot more security if he plans on being a bigger asshat than he already is. He will need it and more. He won’t have the full weight of the US government protecting him any longer. I hear people say they are amazed he is still alive as it is and I hear it often enough to know some of them really mean it.

America is really sick of his shenanigans as it is. All it takes is one person who is dying from some disease anyway to think to themselves that he or she is going to do something good for their country on their way out and put an end to this ERROR.

I wish I could go back in time, then bring a few very influential people back to this time, to convince them to not allow slavery and the shipments of slaves from Africa to happen back when it did. That one thing would make a huge positive improvement on national pride.

What race baiters like obozo and sharpton prove, unfortunately, is diversity only works up to a point and multiculturalism doesn’t work at all. It’s a failed experiment at a national level in the most powerful nation on earth. Very scary when one thinks about what could and probably will happen at some point in the future to correct it. We can still pray it gets fixed in a non-violent way though and I am going to be doing just that while continuing to plan for the worst.

He will only come across as an angry, bitter washed up old Marxist.

He can go 'teach' with his BFF Bill Ayers.

That would be fan-freakin-tastic, if one of President Trump’s first acts was to place both the Black Panthers and CAIR on the terrorist list (and take off anything which falsely implicates Christians, legal gun owners, and white ethnic pride groups as potential terrorists, since it’s not considered terroristic for other ethnic groups to have “pride” organisations, as long as they don’t advocate or condone violence). CAIR is at least a group with terrorist ties, and has been caught more than once sending money under the guise of “charity” to terrorist groups. They should have outlawed long ago.

Too bad he wouldn’t just move to Iran and stay there.

What bothers me is that he not only got elected once, which could have been seen as white-guilt-ridden whites easing their tender consciences, but that even after he showed enough of his hand in his first term to prove that he didn't have America's interests at heart, to understate the matter, Americans still re-elected him.
