You know you can’t do that ! Or that no one will believe you! Gawd he isn’t committed to the people of the United States !!! Only the racists and sexual predators are welcome. So… please don’t say that Donald will do any good for anyone but himself!

You know as smart as Obama is, he told the world leaders in closed sessions, watch your back.

Mr. President you know the man cannot be trusted. He lies with every breath.

In his first press conference after Election Day, President Barack Obama seemed to minimize fears that President-elect Donald Trump would isolate America from its commitments abroad.

I’m not sure I’d be willing to stick my neck out for Donald Trump, Mr. President.

And Merkel will respond in whatever the German is for, “You are so full of shit it’s coming out of your eyes.”

geez…has this man EVER showed any pride…to the people who show him NO respect
did you ask your buddy if he now believes you are an american?

thought so…

Why is he now shilling for Trump?

Meanwhile, Trump and his Republican juggernaut are feverishly making plans to destroy his “legacy” in the first 100 days.

I wonder how long it will be before Mannschaft Drumpf starts claiming that Obama’s staff removed all the “T” keys from the White House computers?

They already know or have a good idea.

Its probably why SG Stoltenberg is trying to learn what goes into a mint julep,

Then he’s really going to love McConnell n Pence

I thought it was an urban legend. More proof: You learn something new every day.

Here’s how I read what Obama was doing in his statements: Establishing clear benchmarks for where we are now, domestically and abroad, so that it will be crystal clear where we end up on a number of important issues. And in identifying those issues so clearly and succinctly, I think his audience very much included Trump. I think he hopes to act as some sort of influence on Trump, at least in terms of “launch,” if not trajectory. Probably futile, and I’m sure he knows it. But obviously he cares deeply about what we stand to lose.

I hope she has one.

She’s gotta deal with that — for at least two years.

THAT’S a tough sell. After all of the provocative bellicosity from HO during the past year, I doubt world leaders will be breathing easier any time soon…well, except the Kremlin. They are very much at ease, I’m sure.

Shilling for Trump?? That’s an inaccurate and very simplistic over-generalization.

The POTUS is doing his best to head off a world panic and keep HO from destroying confidence in the US completely before taking office. I trust President Obama’s judgement.

Trump happily embraced Brexiteer Farage, and his first call was to Putin (probably to get his marching orders).

He already signalled how much he is committed to his allies. The latter are better advised to negotiate with Putin directly rather than his American proxy.
