When President Obama left the White House for the final time on January 20, he tweeted the following.
Hi everybody! Back to the original handle. Is this thing still on? Michelle and I are off on a quick vacation, then we’ll get back to work. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) January 20, 2017
It was a short trip.
In light of President Trump's recent executive order freezing refugee admission from seven different countries, countries originally identified by the Obama administration as terror hot spots, former President Obama is chiming in. From POLITICO:
Kevin Lewis, spokesman for Obama in his post-presidency, said that Obama — who has been threading the balance between the tradition of presidents deferring to their successors and coming out against President Donald Trump on specific issues he considered core values — “is heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country.”It is Obama's first statement since leaving the White House.
“Citizens exercising their Constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake,” Lewis said.
“With regard to comparisons to President Obama’s foreign policy decisions, as we’ve heard before, the president fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion,” Lewis said.
Notice how Obama failed to mention his historical and massive failures in Syria, Libya, Yemen and general Middle East region, which led Trump to this point. Not to mention the creation of ISIS, a direct result of President Obama's political decision to leave Iraq early.
Obama will no doubt be publicly commenting on Trump's policies and decisions as President. His commentary breaks from precedent set by President George W. Bush, who gave Obama the respect and space he deserved in his new role.
The Democrat Party no longer appears to be missing a leader.
We need to thoroughly vet him now, find his real birthplace, prove his documents fake and toss him in a dank cell.
GO. AWAY.
If Obama was not a citizen then Trump has to appoint three Supreme Court Justices.
Yep. Obozo is gonna step in it, his narcissism is a disease, he’s gonna push it and the Donald will invite Sheriff Arpaio and that forged birth document and is past gets opened up.
Yes, and the best thing to do is ignore him. Starve him of any attention, don't let him steal the oxygen. He is just another loon voice now. Be gone.
As soon as Sessions is confirmed as Attorney General there will be investigations started and Obama’s future activities may be severely curtailed. What did Hillary say after the Commander in Chief Forum on September 7th again? Oh yeah, “If that F***ing Bastard wins we all hang from nooses!”
No. No prison time for 0bama... He’s already cost the taxpayers too much already. A firing squad on the National Mall on live TV is much cheaper.
Damn! I was hoping the Bermuda Triangle would suck the sh#th&%d in and any rats traveling with him. I will have to pray harder that evil is banished.
It’s worse than having arrogance or no class - it means that the concept “peaceful transition of power” is dead. He could be hanging out at the beach & golfing, minding his own business, but instead wants to accelerate an already acute division of the nation. He may be more dangerous out of office than when he was in.
Yep. The kenyan has broken the mold and so soiled the office of POTUS that regardless of who governs we will never be the same.
Unfortunately that arrogant pos didn’t go near the Bermuda Triangle

You think aliens want that turd?
He would have been wiser to retire.
People on Twitter seem all too eager to remind him of that.
Perhaps the wild free-range of thought, that is Twitter, is not his best forum choice for power-in-exile.
On the upside, his Twitter feed is serving as a lovely homage to Trump’s accomplishments, already.
:D
22 days

Peaceably, with a permit, and without blocking traffic.
Narcissism, your name is Obamao.
