Obama: I Will Criticize Trump if ‘Necessary or Helpful’
Breitbart ^ | 11/21/16 | Trent Baker

Posted on 11/21/2016 4:42:58 AM PST by Enlightened1

In a Sunday press conference in Lima, Peru, President Barack Obama said he may not follow former President George W. Bush’s lead to not publicly criticize his successor.

Instead, Obama left the opportunity to speak out on President-elect Donald Trump if he deems it “necessary or helpful.”

“I want to be respectful of the office and give the president-elect an opportunity to put forward his platform and his arguments without somebody popping off in every instance,” Obama said.

“As an American citizen who cares deeply about our country, if there are issues that have less to do with the specifics of some legislative proposal but go to core questions about our values and our ideals, and if I think that it is necessary or helpful for me to defend those ideals, I’ll examine it when it comes.”

What would be remarkably helpful is to just GO AWAY.

It is not necessary nor desired we hear your voice again. The United States will do just fine without you.

There is no possible way that anything Big Ears Stompy-Foot says would be necessary or helpful under any circumstances.

Perhaps we do need a new law to state that former President’s should be seen and not heard. THey may offer in private advice to the President but may not publically attempt to interfere with the current Office of the PResident.

The boob has visions of money piling up. He's so brain-dead he actually thinks we don't know his criticisms of Trump will be used to raise funds for his get-rich-quick foundations (two that we know of).

==============================================

The post-prez Obama's got big plans---to get-rich-quick ala the Clintons----and have two foundations (that we know of). The Obama foundation just got a quick infusion of 100 million tax dollars via Michele's Morocco trip to "teach Muslim girls."

US TAXPAYERS PAY NOW---the Obamas collect later.

Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> $150 billion to Muslim Iran in the super-secret nuclear deal,

<><> $2 billion funding to his bro Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya (his homeland).

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> ITEM---Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich Muslim African Muslim countries.

<><> Obama's homeland--Kenya--is now listed as the biggest recipient of US foreign aid.

<><> ITEM---there's billions missing from the Obamacare scam.

<><> ITEM---6 billion is missing rom the State Dept contractor fund

<><> Before Morocco, Obama sent Michele to oil-rich Muslim Quatar w/ $73 million US tax dollars to "teach Muslim girls."

ITEM---Mrs O got $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation on her visit to Morocco, targeted to "teach Muslim girls". The 100 million tax dollars are to be (cough) administered by the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.

LOOK AT THAT SMILE Michele, her daughters and her mother in
Morocco's palace. 100 million dollars to spend when she and Mr O
get back to Chicago

=========================================

Obama recently gave Michelle 100 million tax dollars to give to Morocco to "teach Muslim girls (NOTE Morocco previously scored a State Dept compact worth almost a billion dollars to increase literacy).

The tax money to Michele came from a State Dept agency under Hillary's control---the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC)

=============================================

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT--DO THIS NOW: demand the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways....govt parasites profiting at taxayers' expense.

CONTACT CONGRESS HERE---http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

Americans must demand to see fund solicitation letters coming out of Obama's tax-exempt presidential foundations and his Chicago library fund.

Are any of his WH comments used to forward his policy being regurgitated in fund solicitation latters?

Americans demand to know if US govt policy is being wrongly used....in an effort to raise tax-free money for the Obamas.

The inner cities are going to be burned when the funds for sanctuary cities are cut off. Once the fires have burned themselves out, there is no longer a threat

Well, it all was and is Bush's fault. ;) At the time, at the beginning of the Great Recession, I can see how GW had such a pessimistic view of future Republican opportunity because of how his administration left things.
