Presidents are generally expected to sort of go quietly into the night following the end of their terms. Some do not. Then there are those who need to STFU and go away.
Barack Obama is one of those Things that just won’t leave.
And he’s so full of sh*t.
He’s back to lecturing us “who we are.”
“We have gone through a presidency that disregarded a whole host of basic institutional norms– expectations we had for a president that had been observed by Republicans and Democrats previously. And maybe most importantly– and most disconcertingly, what we’ve seen is what some people call truth decay, something that’s been accelerated by outgoing president Trump, this sense that not only do we not have to tell the truth, but the truth doesn’t even matter.”
Some of us haven’t forgotten who he is
And perhaps Obama can explain which institutional norms he was respecting when he…
1. Spied on his successor
2. Spied on members of Congress
3. Spied on journalists
4. Used the IRS to target his political opponents
and of course
More of those institutional norms and truth decay.
“There are strong men and dictators around the world who think that, “I can do anything to stay in power. I can kill people. I can throw them in jail. I can run phony elections. I can suppress journalists.”
Says the guy who…
1. Complained he didn’t have as much power as a Chinese dictator
2. Spied on journalists and had them arrested
3. Threw a guy in jail for making a movie about Mohammed
Truth decay. It’s a real problem.
In his second, “awesome” memoir, nearly 800 pages in length taking 29 hours as a audible book, he calls us racists
According to Obama, the nation that legitimately elected him as its first black president became racist when they refused to vote for the elderly, white Hillary Clinton. Even though black unemployment is lower under Trump — every demographic saw the same, with wages and benefit increases across the board — everyone who disagrees with Obama does so not because his policies are illogical or his arguments straw man; it’s because everyone else is a bigot.
As for his lack of scandals
Obama also spied on members of the press and tried to charge journalist James Rosen as a “criminal co-conspirator” through the Espionage Act of 1917. According to the Associated Press, “Trump may use extraordinary rhetoric to undermine trust in the press, but Obama arguably went farther — using extraordinary actions to block the flow of information to the public.”
The Obama administration used the 1917 Espionage Act with unprecedented vigor, prosecuting more people under that law for leaking sensitive information to the public than all previous administrations combined. Obama’s Justice Department dug into confidential communications between news organizations and their sources as part of that effort.
On Twitter Heshmat Alavi – who is an excellent reporter- has a thorough compilation of obama’s morals:
Hypocrisy goes through the roof when #Obama pretends to talk about moral values on CBS’ 60 Minutes.
This thread is a look back at his disastrous foreign policy that ruined the lives of tens of millions of people, if not more, in #Iran & across the globe.
A few examples:
- Periodic reminder of the disastrous Obama era that gave us eight years of appeasement & weakness. Iranian MP Alireza Zakani says the Obama administration gave Iran’s regime $1.7 billion in unmarked cash, with $400 million in suitcases.
- “Two high-level Iranian government backers, including a former Islamic Republic official and another accused of lobbying on Tehran’s behalf, were hosted at the Obama White House for more than 30 meetings…”
- “the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah”
- “… when it comes to the Iran deal, the Obama administration took lying to new heights…”
- “… secretly trying to give Tehran access to the US financial system to convert billions of dollars in assets into Euros as part of the Iran nuclear deal…”
- “It is now historic fact that reporters in Washington, D.C., were lied to and fooled by the Obama Administration with regard to the Iran nuclear deal.”
Check them all out. Alavi also noted this- you know all that money obama forked over to Iran?
November 24—#Iran
Long line for frozen poultry.Remember the $152 billion in credit & cash that the Obama admin allowed Iran's regime to access?
That money funded terrorists & nuclear/ballistic missile programs.

The Thing was still not done. We’re all racists, especially those dumb religious Hispanics.
Obama on @breakfastclubam: “… There’s a lot of evangelical Hispanics who, the fact that Trump says racist things about Mexicans, or puts undocumented workers in cages, they think that’s less important than the fact that he supports their views on gay marriage or abortion." pic.twitter.com/8OpocwYrLV

Cages? The Thing that won’t go away built those cages.
And speaking of gay marriage
Obama declined to say when “a baby gets human rights,” as Warren put it.
“I think whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a culture perspective, to answer it with that specificity is above my pay grade,” Obama responded.
The low murmur from the crowd was a sharp contrast with the loud applause to Obama’s response to gay marriage a few seconds later.
Asked to define marriage, Obama said it “is the union between a man and a woman.”
obama was elected in part because of his opposition to gay marriage.
barack obama is a damn hypocrite and liar. His narcissism, posturing and pontificating are nauseating.
The Thing that won’t leave needs to go away.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
He did well shoving forward his agenda like none other. Only it was his agenda not representing the people of this nation.
Now a hairs breath from regaining power through a shadow government with a pair of mindless puppets, he can watch as he did in 2016 it slip through his fingers again.
Excellent hearing in Gettysburg today. A judge has put the certification on hold, the Mayor of PA may call a special election. Over 700 K more absentee votes counted than were ever sent? Votes tallied faster than the high speed scanners can tabulate?
Looks like Sorry Charlie you lose again.
I wish BHO would go quietly into the night.
Biden’s team is signalling their disapproval as more and more old Obamites take all the choicest spots in a Biden Administration (should one happen.)
But Obama never went away.
He moved into a WashDC compound and ran a shadow gov’t with many of his old cronies, including Susan Rice and Valerie Jarrett.
Many of the deep state leakers met leftist media inside his compound.
I can see how Obama is salavating that Biden wouldn’t last a year, but, what’s his plan for getting rid of power-hungry Kamala Harris? She’s nobody’s puppet.

@Sidney Jenkins: What ever sock puppet can you smell the stench of scorched earth?

@kitt: What’s hilarious is he makes two accounts and talks to each other like their two different people. Serious mental problems with this guy.
@Curt: He so wanted a big Thanksgiving but no one wants to hang with him….
Another stale cold turkey sandwich from the 7/11
Nothing can stop what is coming.
Nothing.
From the guy that made corruption the norm.
How many times does a narcissist need to retell the story of his own life? Does this “memoir” cover that periods of his life that have been hidden away? We don’t need to hear from President Kardashian any more. He remains as empty a suit as he was when he started out.
You would think a brilliant genius like Obama would be aware that Trump never said anything “racist” about Hispanics and that it was, in fact, HIS OWN PARTY that made the racist comments and attributed them to Trump.
@old guy:
I wish he would go screaming and crying… but GO.
@Curt: #8
I want the old Gary back. You remember him? Years ago? The fairly reasonable, civil Gary?
I guess he wasn’t loony enough for his paymasters, so they replaced him with Insane Gary.
he is a gay muslim terrorist. his elephant wife is the beard. Trump tried to repaid the damage this POS did not only to the Constitution ut this country. his attitude and viel mouth flamed the re-segregation in this country. completely narrarristic in personality. Wonder who is gay lovers are these days?? sooner or later either Israel or Russia will wack this asshole. major stores have discounted his book already.
Go Away Obama
I just wish he would go live in the Himalayas as a Monk far away from the rest of the outside world
The American hating Marxist has been essentially been running a shadow government ever since he left the WH. Regardless of how the steal works out, he turned our country into a banana republic. Neither side will accept the results of the election- one side because it was an obvious steal attempt and the next phase in the four year long coup and the other side because they still haven’t accepted 2016 and refuse to accept anyone other than a comrade being POTUS. Our elections will be viewed as a joke. He has done irreversible damage to the country.
@another vet: Obama recently criticized Hispanics because they didn’t believe the lies the liberal media and Democrats (almost indistinguishable differences between them) about Trump making “racist” remarks about Mexicans or Trump using HIS cages and HIS legislation to put illegal immigrants in detention and voted for Trump. He isn’t smart enough to realize that many of them love this country more than he does and appreciate border security and the booming economy. All Democrats know is pandering; they have no idea how to deliver real benefits.
@Deplorable Me:
That’s the way the lefties think. They believe everyone should think the way they do or else. Considering how deep his hatred for this country is, just about anyone loves it more than he does. He rates with the Ayatollahs. He would have made a great spokesman for Lenin and Castro.
