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.

I'm not really concerned what BS comes out of his month after he leaves office.

I'm a LOT more concerned what he will do behind the scenes to continue to undermine the values we hold...

At least he admits he is leaving office...

I hope Trump cleans up the FBI and they treat this POS like the security risk that he is.

Were this America-hating Marxist moron on fire, I wouldn’t spit (or worse) on him to put him out.

“Obama: once out of office, I’m gonna stop being polite and start getting real”

You are going to have a REAL appointment with a REAL federal prosecutor, and a REAL jury is gonna convict you and then you are going to be sent to a REAL prison!

Along with your LIEberal/Marxist/Socialist/Fascist buddies!

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

We could get pretty damn real with him too. Bubble boy’s bubble is going to be a lot smaller in a few months.

My prediction has always been that once he is out of office he will drop the Christian charade and declare that he is going to "convert" to Islam.

Maybe our congress will too and haul his ass into hearings so the Trump DOJ will do what is right.

Hopefully the new AG will delve into the phony birth certificate proving that Obama is not a U.S.citizen and put his sorry ass in prison.

Bump. BHO thinks very highly of himself, too much IMO. He has been coddled, protected and doted on.

He wants to be known as the guy who brought America to it’s knees. He is in for a shock or two.
