discuss Obama comments on live news conference

will he attack Trump or be conciliatory?

[uncbob]

After Bush the First lost the 1992 election, he still managed to invade another foreign nation during his lame duck period, Somalia,

He was forced into it by the constant nightly coverage of starving children etc etc in Somalia just like they caused the Balkan War under Clinton

[boatbums]

I have thought much the same. Going from the blazing limelight of the presidency to near irrelevancy will be too much for a pathological narcissist.

Didn't you hear? He has a $25 million book deal to write his bio! That should keep Bill Ayers busy, at least.

And before health insurance wasn’t so high, it didn’t exist, and doctors cost much, MUCH less, and hospitals too. And then there was insurance but just for expensive things like hospital stays, surgeries etc.

Just so you will know in the future,it’s martial law.

[YogicCowboy]

Oh, I like that!

[djstex]

Thanks,love the TRUTH!
We have Trump and they got paid riots.

[Candor7]

Phew! Well it looks like we whistled past the graveyard on the Obama Presser.

No mix it up concerning popular vote, electoral college or Soros funded protestors.

Lets hope the calm will prevail and that we receive no attacks from ISIS.

Will be very happy when the inauguration occurs.

>> We were led by an empty suit for 8 years.

I disagree. He did not lead us because he was totally incapable. What we had for 8 years was an empty suit standing in front of us (that’s different than leading!) and blocking our way.

Now it’s time to clear out the debris of 0vomit and his cronies.

(And on a side note, I would love it if President Trump had someone do an honest investigation of Sandy Hook, the Clinton crimes, Podesta, and a few other things as well.

[generally]

Exactly.

Margaret Thatcher had a quote something on the order of: Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, then you aren’t.

[fivecatsandadog]

Seriously? Linky?

"When I first saw the purple ties on Hillary and Bill I knew exactly what it meant. It is red & blue mixed together. We are all one. We are the world. We all love each other. Just political BS imagery."

FWIW:

The Clintons and Soros Launch America’s Purple Revolution

[Freee-dame]

I have not heard one word from Obama about stopping the rioters.

Was Obama, at this press conference, asked a single question about the riots going on all over the country exclusively by his Dem supporters? I watched the whole thing, while reading our live thread, and missed such a question if it was asked.

Trump, on the other hand, was asked about the racist, etc. behavior (alleged, which Stahl did not say) by Trump supporters three different times on 60 Minutes. I think these were the segments with the most chopping off of Trump's answers.

I wanted him to say, "there is no evidence" or "where is the evidence" about Stahl's accusations. The Clintons have used the legal definiton of evidence, which requires something to be accepted into a court case before it counts as "evidence," for the past 24 years. Most people think of the common sense definiton, not the legal one.

I wonder if Putin has forwarded the incriminating evidence against Soros to Trump. Soros belongs in PRISON, PERIOD, and I don’t care WHERE. He is bankrolling the violent street ‘protests’ and the ambush on cops.
