I'm sure the speech it will be inspirational and forward looking. It's good to give young people a positive role model to aspire to, considering the ethically challenged con man who followed him into the White House.
President Obama enjoys approval ratings that Donald Trump and his cult probably lie awake at night dreaming of. You can tell by all of the sputtering they are doing in this thread.
Lol, no kidding. They've been hysterically pounding on their keyboards since January. Their desperation is painfully obvious.
Barack Obama is among the most petty, petulant men on the planet. He can't handle criticism. He's too cocky, and truthfully, he has no reason to be cocky. This is a guy who literally accomplished nothing meaningful in his life prior to becoming a state senator in IL. And once a person enters elected office, there's virtually no chance that they'll accomplish anything meaningful after that. Even Barack Obama admitted that he was bored in elected office and came within inches of ditching it altogether.
The ONLY reason Barack Obama was elected President is because America was tired of the war-laden Bush years and because he was well-spoken and "black enough" to break through the race barrier. The change from Bush couldn't have been any more stark. That's it. That's why he won. No other reason on this planet. He showed up at the right time. Nothing more, nothing less.
Fast forward 8 years and he was a crappy President with a terrible legacy. He refused to compromise. He refused to admit error. He thought he was the smartest guy in the room everywhere he went. He could not be reasoned with. He answer shopped until he found the right "yes men." His foreign policy was a complete disaster, and he got Democrats unelected all across the country.
Barack Obama is a loser. He has nothing and he knows it. That's why he refuses to stand idly by while Trump and the rest of the world expose his incompetence. The charade he put on for 8 years is being fully exposed and he can't stand it.
You knew the haters would be out in full force on this one, but they have to, their boys' administration is a train wreck, and everything he has done so far has failed. So, it makes them feel a little better to dis someone else.
When it is all you got, it is all you got !
Blatantly erroneous assumption. Everything isn't Us vs. Them, as much as you would like it to be. I'm actually surprised that that isn't in the forefront of your consciousness....I thought progressives are the ones who can always appreciate non black and white thinking . Isn't that what you are always telling everyone? Large (but not complete) disapproval of the PRESIDENCY of Barack Obama doesn't automatically make anyone a Trump supporter.

In your world Trump is exposing Obama's incompetence? You can't make this up folks.

Does the red line in Syria ring a bell? Barack cowered behind Congress knowing full well they wouldn't do anything. Meanwhile, Trump took the action right to their back door with a big fat message that the USA is back and ready to fight.
What about illegal immigration? Barack Obama tried to lay out the red carpet for illegal immigrants. Medicaid for illegal immigrants and liberals are dead silent. Meanwhile, Trump is rounding them up and sending them back and is singling out employers.
What about our military? Barack Obama sequestered the Defense Department and Trump is fighting for more money to bring us back up to readiness.
Tell us what you think Barack did better in his first 100 days then Trump. I'll wait.

I don't want to hear from this man at all. He did nothing for the black community when he was president. What can this man do now? He has no power. Why try to do something for us now? Get the mess out of here Obama!!!!!!!!!
Amen.
I never cared for him politically - but at least he could have helped some of the people who looked like him that helped get him elected. He just wanted us marching in the streets and causing chaos.
Someone needs to ask about the crime in the city he calls home.
I never liked Bush and I certainly never liked Obama, but this is a bit hypocritical on Obama's part if you ask me.
Obama had nothing but praise for how the Bush team handled the WH transition, and I think that is great on both sides. As much as I don't like either politically, I was happy to see at least one area where there was a common understanding and a common effort to make sure that our government transitioned smoothly. This is essential in terms of a properly functioning government. It is also important to have "one POTUS at a time" as many were saying while Trump was inserting himself into things before the inauguration.
Since Obama was so grateful for the smooth Bush transition, you would think he also had a ton of respect for how Bush kept out of politics and commenting on anything for Obama's term. We don't need an ex-presidnt interfering with the "will of the people" as our election process identified some desire for a drastic change, and not some kind of dragging out of past thoughts and policies that didn't turn out as expected and were shunned by voters in the most recent election.
TL;DR, Obama should show the same respect that Bush showed him, and just bow out of trying to be a political influencer while the new administration is working on what they see appropriate.
I'm not wasting any time reading on this. I'm sure this clown will be speaking from a liberal college with the seats full of brain dead liberal lemmings who have never worked a real job in their life. Did I miss anything?
Extremist on both sides accusing, blaming and demonizing others are the problem. There is a lot of intellect in them brain dead liberals. Never working a real job is not the University setting. They will be the Young Urban Professionals that will end up competing in jobs far more working past a 9-5 job.
Each era seems to have degrees of a previous generation label them lazier, less driven, and don't want go be productive citizens. They are generally proven wrong. Especially for those BRAIN DEAD LIBERAL LEMMINGS you generalize about.
Many of the 60s hippie generation were totally seen as what was wrong with the new generation and Liberal. Yet many grew to be 9-5+ productive people to society. Creativity is plentiful among these brain dead college liberals. LOL
The Liberal side always played a key roll in each era, generation and decade. In music, styles of dress to hair styles. Conservatism If only keeping things the same, as not broken, and works for a religious adhering lifestyle we would not see the varieties each generation and era's creativity created. Most coming in through the Liberal side.
We would have remained in a much more cookie cutter society. It is fine to be nostalgic for a 1950s society of a conservative mom at home all worked and could survive in the class their education level would afford them. But would we really not have wanted the radical change of the 60s (not the racially radical strife)? The 1960s starting as the 50s then bouffant hairstyles came in, longer hair on men, skirts got shorter to not needing a girdle to provide a more perfect form and suits on men were at best for work and musical groups LOL alone to a no thanks view of a suit attire.
The 70s Brady Bunch, Farah hair, flared to bell jeans, to Disco styles and Classic Rock. The 80s and Big hair era, Big hair Rock and all Classic Rock that is seen as if alive and well for todays generation too.
True Conservatism that is far more then money, taxes and government. We would NOT have had these eras of creativity changing styles that occurred through Liberalism if a conservative remind the same view alone ruled all. I surely have my least favorite period of styles in change.
It is fine to claim a liberal to conservative stand politically and financial stand in taxation and spending. But soooooo much more is part of a mere liberal to seen as radical stand. That is also creativity.
Even in eras of past empires that came and went. The most liberal ones were very creative in the Arts, Architecture and advancements in science. Too many others ----> point fingers as others are beneath them in each new generation it seems. They get extreme in accusing and blame. Even in claiming Conservative? Cross a line of being Radical themselves.
