So Why is he acting like such a tough guy at the eleventh hour? We all know his testosterone levels are down there with dinosaur bones.
Last ditch effort to cause more division?

Obama was correct! "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall."

Trump pulls the rug out!

Obama is Crushed After Trump Orders the White House To Stop His Sickest Tradition and you see why…

Obama was seen storming away from the West Wing after staffers from Donald Trump’s transition team began preparing the Executive offices for the new administration. On Trump’s orders, one of Obama’s most secretive rituals is being reversed and all signs of it removed from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

For the past 7 years, to appease any Muslims working at or visiting the White House, silence has been ordered during the five times of Islamic prayer each day. In addition, prayer rugs and crescent moon symbols are available in several areas of the executive mansion to make Muslims more comfortable.

The administration has defended the practice by asserting that it also observes several other religious moments of silence and prayer out of respect, including a full 15 seconds for Christianity on Sunday morning while a chaplain blesses a staff breakfast. None of the prayer is mandatory or led by a government official, which has allowed the administration to subvert 1st Amendment issues, but the obvious favoritism towards Islam, which is observed for 25 minutes per day seven days a week, tells a story this president has denied for eight years.
President-Elect Trump, who acknowledges that this country was founded by Christians and was built on Christian morals, is having all pagan symbols removed from the property unless they offer some historical significance. Only the cross in the White House chapel will remain for worship. Jim Mergernerlerny, head of the team that will transform the White House from the Obama’s home to the Trump’s second home, told MSNBC:

“Mr. Trump doesn’t see the need to provide prayer rugs and false idols is a house built by Christians. Washington DC offers a diverse cultural center for worship of any kind. You won’t find any special considerations for Judaism or crucifixes to appease Catholics, either. There is a simple chapel with a single cross on one wall that is suitable for prayer by anyone. Our government doesn’t need to be forcing prayer rituals down people’s throats just so we don’t ‘offend’ people looking to blow us up.”

Patriots around the US can rest assured that the era of apologizing for our faith has come to an end.
Sheesh! Obama's even worse than I thought.

Barack flat out LIED when he said that "Over a third of the GOP support Putin". The actual poll question was "Do you think Putin is a strong leader?". No one in their right mind would vote "no".

I wonder if Obama ever considered that most post WWII presidents would roll over in their grave if they found out that a president promised Russia more flexibility after his last election to run amok in eastern Europe.

Have you ever met a Democrat that cared about Obama lying?

Have you ever met a Democrat that wouldn't repeat an Obama lie after it is obviously pointed out as a falsehood?

False. I guess you just make up "facts" to suit your purpose, but you really should go back to school and study American History. The accusations were proven to be false. In 1954 the Senate reprimanded McCarthy for his "witch hunt" against innocent citizens. Ever see the movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers?" It was released in 1954 when the "Red Scare" was at its peak. Not unlike the fake news of today, McCarthy tried to convince the American public that Communists were taking over and your next door neighbors might be different from the couple you think you know to create a state of paranoia.

Sorry, you're wrong.

The KGB archives (Venona documents) revealed that many of those accused by McCarthy weren't just communists, they were acting as spies for the Soviet Union.

Hollywood, the State Department, the universities -- all full of communists.

I recently read a biography of Berkeley physicist Robert Oppenheimer, who flirted with the communist party throughout the 1930s. At that time, American "intellectuals" were more likely to be communist than not, just as they are now much more likely to be Left-leaning than not.

Don't buy that Hollywood slop about the "poor innocent victims." It's nothing more than self-serving propaganda.

This is how fake news gets so widely spread. I mean, something that is so easily fact checked is repeated over and over, but nobody bothers to actually find out if it's true.

President Obama was referring to the YouGov survey (which you can download) that asks specifically
"Do you have a favorable or an unfavorable opinion of Vladimir Putin?" Here's a tweet with a chart. Within the tweet is a link to the poll. The question was never "Do you think Putin is a strong leader." So you're either lying or you've been misinformed.
