Sure wish we had ONE elected or appointed that would have stood up for the Constitution.

This chucklehead would still be just a junior Senator from Illannoy.

I have to concede Obama’s point.

After all, he’s a Subject Matter Expert about smugness.

I generally don’t give credit to BO for much of anything, but when it comes to smugness, that’s something he’s an expert at.

So is he headed back to his walled compound in DC, to Malibu or sailing off yet again on some billionaire homosexual’s mega-yacht now?

Now that Obama is no longer “President”, he is taking the opportunity to give full voice to the bitter Marxist hatred of America he had openly voiced as a college student.

Smug? The chutzpah of this rodent to describe others as “smug”? An inch away, face to face, spittle filled “f*** you!” in this bastard’s mug is soooo long overdue.

This from a guy who put a WALL around his mega mansion. Ok Obama, if you hate wealth SO much, how about you give up 80 percent of it and give it to less fortunate folks sound like a plan?

And he’s taking a large chunk of a park in Chicago against the will of the locals to build his monument to himself.
