The President Obama Thread - Part 6

[Matt]

Obama is yesterday's news. He needs to go away like Bush.

The first African American President is the guest of a talk show that was set to debut the weekend of Martin Luther King Day. Do you not think that is by design? And your response is “go away.” You sound incredibly ignorant.

Watched David Letterman’s new show on Netflix where Obama was his first guest. I miss having an adult in the White House who can use words beyond “amazing” and “great”, is self-reflective and blames everyone, and actually has respect for the office.

I watched it last night as well and just wondered how in the hell did the office of the presidency go from intelligent, pragmatic and dignified to tabloid reality television with so much daily stupidity from a guy that can hardly string together a coherent thought/statement on any issue?

I would say considering how much Cheetoh likes to knock on Obama’s accomplishment, he has shown remarkable restraint in not pushing back more against the lies.

Pushing back against Trump would not help in the slightest, it would in fact, throw gasoline on the fire.

Well, the clown car of GOP hopefuls didn't help, as Trump's antics let him get the spotlight, and thus the votes.

Let's also not ignore that Obama's election brought out the racists like you wouldn't believe. Look at the Tea Party wave.

I've been asking myself this question for a year now. Obama had a lot of dignity and class.
