There is no plan at the White House.

They also never thought this could or would happen.

“What he’s reeling from is the full “weight” of his lame-duckness. Presidential power and authority, which was accorded him out of deference to the Office he occupied has just been ripped from him so fast that he must be breathless.

Obama is now just a spectator to history. He’s spent 8 years surrounded by flatterers and that’s now gone overnight. The power establishment’s entire focus is now focused on Trump.”

You are so right.

I remember one of Carter’s people reminiscing about calling one of the departments on the afternoon of Reagan’s inauguration asking about an update regarding the Iranian hostages and being told he wasn’t authorized to receive information. That was when he realized his authority was gone.

When that happens to Obama, it is going to hit him especially hard given his temperament. I don’t think he will be happy with the reduced perks of a Senate seat. I suspect he will be a bitter man trying to stay in the limelight and demonstrating his brilliance by lecturing the world through interviews, columns, and speeches.

I suspect George Bush will reach out to him about dealing with the change but Obama will reject him.

"Obama reeling from gut punch of Trump win"

Was he not recently bragging that if he could run for a third term he would win?

This is a super article to post, many illustrations of liberal self-deception but also a comment of clarity here and there.

“But they’ve already lost the chance to lock in Obama’s vision of America, one that is educated and pragmatist, multicultural, cosmopolitan and globalist.”

I think they meant brainwashed, rigidly ideological, anti-Christian, classist and anti-American.

“...May Obammy always be remembered as nothing more than a pimple on the ass of humanity!...”

I was thinking more on the lines that he be remembered as nothing more than a “nasty fudge stain on Lady Liberty’s under panties”.

Not only that, anyone with real money, who moves into another country, will run into the repercussions of FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act). I recall an article posted on FR recently, documenting that many foreign banks simply won’t let Americans open accounts with them anymore, because they (banks) cannot deal with the costs of the regulations.

People keep trying to give me a free subscription to their newspaper if I will sign up for a chance to win free groceries at my local Kroger.

NO! Why do I need a newspaper that is going to tell me daily how bad Donald Trump is for the next four years? Keep it!

Go ahead and pardon Hillary 0bama! No problem. She is a career criminal.

Just how long do you think she can go without breaking another law.

Just need to watch her.

I agree!

Which other states had lawsuits going?

Another thing that factored into it was the call for poll-watchers.

He likely would have, sadly.

Sheesh - Warren is already being pushed across social media by the sore loser crowd as the one to run against Trump in 2020. LoL. Pinning their hopes on another corrupt old hag. Yeah, that's the ticket.
