Discussion: Obama Signs Off From @POTUS Account, Rolls Out New Website

Wouldn’t it be great if his presidential library offered training in community organizing and political outreach?

I really hate those ‘Trending Now’ rip-off, click-bait ads but never as much as this morning with the Angry Michelle/Trump Coin jive. Flush this crap, Josh, the site’s better than this stuff.

Recurring donation set up. :smile:

I do have a good feeling about this. And the Carter Center is amazing too.

Try an ad blocker program (though Josh would disagree), and you won’t see that stuff. I don’t.

OT: If anyone is interested WaPo has taken down its pay wall for today and tomorrow.

Here’s just one of the delightful articles it will be featuring throughout the day and into the night: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/protesters-bring-shouts-skirmishes-and-shutdowns-to-inauguration-celebration/2017/01/20/00ea4c72-df11-11e6-acdf-14da832ae861_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-bignews3_protest-10am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.a04d6c48ea2b

What sounds like lots of booing along the route to Capitol.

Rather not…I just want to turn tech on and off with minimal screwdriver/whatever entanglements.

The anarchists will be lumped in with the peaceful protesters and will there will be lots of finger wagging about how horrible demonrats are.

Take it up with Adsense

Once you buy the required screwdriver you’re set for life.

Well if you go to the site you can make that a suggestion for the Obama Foundation. Also OFA does offer this already.

I hate this. I hate all of this. None of this can be real.

I am at work and thankfully not able to watch the ceremony or anything (though i have seen Kellyann’s outfit and want to wear one to the march tomorrow)…but reading this and Obama’s tweets is really difficult.
I knew today was coming and that it would not be great.
But this sucks. I am so sad that they are leaving the WH.

I know that the Obamas aren’t going away and that there are lots of engaged people. But it feels like we are going into a tunnel and it’s really not clear what to expect…from the new administration, the corrupt Republicans running congress, the rightwing media, the Kochs and cronies…it feels like Goliath.

What kind of an absurd comment is this? I took it as far up the chain as I care to as a site consumer, thank you.

Teach a man to screw, eh?

It is a simple fact. Josh really has little or no control over the Google Adsense algorithm that places these ads.

Good times. Putting it on my bookmarks
