I wish he (Obama) were still in charge…

The Presidency is an adult-only zone now hijacked by a 71 year old tantrum-tearaway, truculent toddler who’s had too much of a sugar fix and now can’t climb down from the high…I blame his parents.

JFC. How did we get from Obama to this clown act?

They see the NRA and its allies—whether mealymouthed politicians or mendacious commentators peddling conspiracy theories—as mere shills for those who make money selling weapons of war to whoever can pay. They’re as comfortable speaking truth to power as they are dismissive of platitudes and punditry?

I miss him too. I wish he had been this blunt more often during his presidency. I hope there’ll be more of this type of rhetoric.

I’ve been catching up on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee and just saw the one with Obama and a 1963 Chevy Corvette Stringray. Awesome Sauce!

I bought Pete Szousa’s book, “Obama”. Not too much $$ and you can give it as a gift.

I miss him and the class he brought to the White House.

Polar opposites as we suddenly morphed into a flat earth in November 2016.

Obama was the light side, Donnie is the dark side.

I love my President. He will always be my president and this squatter in the WH (or that building) will never be president in my mind

Agreed. Something bubbled up from dark pits of hell to counter Obama’s progressive stance. But in one way I am glad. This festering ugliness has always been there. Now it is in the light of day where we can see it and counter it as much as possible.

fLump is not a squatter, sometimes squatters are good and in the right. fLump is just an ignorant old bum.

Trump, meanwhile, penned a ‘Time 100’ entry for the White Nationalists.

After being told he could not submit it by tweet.

It’s an easy answer, and an oversimplification, but racism

You know, just watching this is so starkly different then what we have now it’s as if we’re in a dark stupid version of reality.

Obama stole most of his commentary from a Melania speech.

Since Obama’s black, this episode of The Daily Show kind of goes with it because it’s got a lot of black humor. I particularly like that it explains why there is “black” time.
