There was a thread within the last few days where someone posted that the Obamas always took the high road. I gathered some links that show that this isn't the case (including Michelle's 'now we know what a lack of hope looks like' comment to Oprah. People can rightly criticize Bush 43 for a number of things, but he stayed away from criticizing Obama). I attempted to post my links, but the thread had already been closed.
Obama doesn't have enough class to step aside like Bush did. Obama is a god in his own mind.

"...Since January 20, the nation’s most fundamental values have been distorted as the man who spoke of “carnage” at his inauguration presides over a divided and fractious nation.
This carnage—a blow to our comity and polity, to our sense of union and of purpose—Trump has personally unleashed. If this is what is in store for us over the next four years, the United States may be unrecognizable by 2020.
Confronted by such conditions, it is incumbent upon the five living former presidents—Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama—to disregard tradition and form a Presidential Committee of Conscience that would have one purpose: to admonish and correct a sitting president whose actions are a threat to the defining ethos of the nation; whose policies contribute to the shredding of the fabric that bind us together as a people and fracture alliances that have been the foundation of a reasonably calm and sensible global order; whose cavalier utterances betray the dignity and purpose of the office of the presidency..."
Though not a very good president, President Carter is the model for what a former president should be and do with their lives after office. Bush I and II have laid low as well. When a person has served their country in the capacity of president, it is time to be magnanimous and humble, giving way to those who follow.
Are we sure its him and not just a robot programmed to act like him? Wait.... are we sure he wasn't a robot to begin with? He seemed to have zero free will and no independent thought.
Obama's legacy is a weaker and more divided America. Obama and Democrats are identity politicians. Stoke and aggravate groups in hopes that they targeted enough to be in power.
Obama encouraged class warfare. Obama rekindled a racial divide that had been steadily disappearing in American society. In fostering group identity politics for political advantage, the Obama administration only divided the American people. And the people know it.
Spot on. Obama and the Democrats created a more divided America. A divided populace is more easily controlled, as there is no common voice.
I would welcome Obama with open arms. It will be refreshing to see a dignified, caring, eloquent, decent person again.
Maybe he can provide some leadership for the party and get us going toward being great again. The current Failure in Chief has divided us and created a lot of hatred and strife. Obama is diplomatic and smart. He could bring us together for once and for all. He could discover the talent within the Democratic party and help the right people to get to a place where they can run for public office. We need good leadership--there is none in the Republican party and there isn't much organization in the Democratic party. I hope he does come back, he is needed.
Actually, Trump will love it. He'll have a new target for his venom. A new enemy. A new opponent to blame. A new way to deflect from his own incompetency and corruption. I think he'll discover bashing Obama will not work as well as calling Hillary names.
Obama wouldn't be a new target for Trump's venom. I guess you forgot their earlier relationship. Shame on you to remember what YOU want but not all of the facts.
And with Obama back, they will be equally as lost. And they will likely continue to lose important key elections.
Obama left America divided, bitter and angry. Not a good feeling at all.
Obama? Replace that sentence with "Trump" (you know, the guy who enacted a "Muslim ban" and wants to build a wall between us and Mexico), and it will be accurate.
