Less than 21 days and he will slip away into history: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdow...es%20office%22

Seriously, all he will be remembered for is the ObamaCareNot failure as predicted by many and whatever other negative things he pulls off that repulse people before his presidency ends.

Within 6-months he'll attend a mosque. He'll get one of those funny-looking organ grinder monkey hats.

Obama is too narcissistic to go quietly. He still wants the fame but you Sir had your 8 years and leaving the office while spitting on our biggest allies in the mid east. Well done.

No doubt this will be the 11th hour Biggie.

If Obama stays active he could be more destructive after he leaves office than while in. The muzzle and shackles of Elections will be removed and he would still have a faithful following of Radicals.

How would Obama be more destructive after he leaves office than he was as President? Once he leaves office, he has no power over the citizenry (which is a good thing)! I'm sure he'll be an annoying blowhard, but he still won't be able to control us!

Instead of posting a blind link, give us a clue what the story is about.

They need to stay within their borders and stop trying to rule over the Palestinians. Who the heck do they think they are? They have their land, deal with it and stop trying to take land that does not belong to them.
If it was anyone else encroaching on the territory that is not theirs, all the world would be up in arms to try and stop it, but people want to lay back and patronize Israel taking land that is not theirs and wanting to wield control over others. It's Insane !!!!

If Trump comes back and try and play for Israel, all he is going to do is set off a war, and Israel will have sucker played the US to fight on their behalf for them doing what they should not be doing. Hopefully, we are not stupid enough to fall into such a mess. The Arrogant leader in Israel, is with the mentality and demeanor of a Tyrant.

He should be trying to find out why he had so many rockets launched upon his country, which he already know the answer and bully stomping in the region is not helping matter. IF he stops encroaching and respect the acknowledgment of the Palestinians, much of this madness would go away.. But his arrogance and greed won't allow him to be of such peace making mindset.
Israel is only building on land that is Israel's. They won the war. End of story. Or do you think we need to negotiate with Mexico as to whether we can retain the Southwest? Some of them want it back you know. Or with England for that matter as to whether they are entitled to have their colonies back? Which year's boundaries in Europe should the European countries be negotiating to return to? There are a lot of old boundaries there to choose from, some fairly recent too.

The Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world will not be happy until we have Holocaust II and all of the Jews are dead. Is that what you are routing for? Even if Israel gave them back land won long ago, they still won't be happy because there will then still be a piece of Israel still in existence.

Noone but Obama knows what his intentions are after leaving the White House. If he thinks acting out his third term is a plan, he will meet more resistance than the Secret Service can provide.
Maybe he should just head into the sunset and keep his ideas to himself.
Or, better yet, he should just go play golf and leave the rest of our country alone.

After he and Michele leave office they are going to immerse themselves in working in social areas, mainly trying to help steer black and Hispanic young people in the right direction. A very noble and much needed endeavor , IMO.

As for the rest of your post, it is simply incorrect and , of course, 1. slanted to see it how you want to see it. 2, He COULD have won the election, if he had been able to run........Hell, even Hillary, with all her baggage, won the popular vote by a large percentage! Think about that. 3. Hillary had more people vote for her than Trump, and only the Electoral College thing let him win the election. Obama would have obliterated Trump in every respect.

4, As for Obama not being seen as a good President, 54 percent of Americans feel differently , and even Trump supporters can do the math on that one.

1. No. Actually my post isn't slanted to see it how I want to see it. It's stated to reflect how I actually see it. So is your post. So is everyone elses on here as it pertains to opinion posts.

2, We'll never know, will we.

3. That "Electoral College thing" was what won Trump the presidency. He knew the process. Clinton knew the process. Trump and Clintons campaign strategists knew the process. Every talking head on TV and every print and Internet reporter domestically and internationally knew the process. The D and R parties knew the process. The media knew the process. The voters knew the process. Everyone knew the process. Show me one piece of coverage - anything - print, audio, video, anything - where there was talk prior to the election that discussed the importance of either of these candidates winning the popular vote. You won't find anything. What you WILL find are untold amounts of coverage describing the number of paths Clinton had to 270 and how few paths Trump had to 270. Why is that? Because the Electoral College dictates the presidency. THAT was the goal of each campaign. Not to win the popular vote. To get to 270. So yammer on all you want about the popular vote but it doesn't mean crap to the bottom line.

4. Endless polls have clearly indicated that the American people felt that the country was moving in the wrong direction. THAT issue was reflected in the results of the election. Endless polls also clearly indicate that the majority of Americans still like the president personally. THAT is reflected in Item #4
