With all the talk about Trump and the Logan Act I figured this would be a pretty good way to end such nonsense!
(Or .. Maybe Not)

Former US President Barack Obama is set to visit Chinese Leader Xi Jinping this Tuesday while on a five-day trip to China, India and France.

A statement from Washington's spokeswoman has told CNN that former President Barack Obama is set to meet with his former counterparts during his trip, including Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Obama, who will be arriving in Shanghai to deliver remarks at the Global Alliance of SMEs Summit, will meet with Xi for the first time since September 2016, when both leaders ratified the Paris climate agreement in their respective countries.

Just recently, current US President Donald Trump, who have just visited China on an official trip this month, announced in June his decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris accord.

For the time being, the current administration has foreshadowed the relationship between Xi and Trump, with the President claiming in a statement that the trip in October have blossomed into a good relationship with him and Xi quoting that "the best relationship of any President-President."

Obama is butt hurt after Trump has trashed his legacy. He is part of the resist movement and what do you want to bet China keeps supplying and supporting No. Korea after the Obama visit. Anything to derail Trump and weaken his foreign policy.

Are tax payers still paying for Obama to travel the world? Why is he over there, past presidents usually don't go to other countries unless the current president asks them to go for a good reason.

Wish he would visit the fat boy but then they would probably use him for ransom.

I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Perhaps if you actually understood what the Logan Act is, you wouldn't say such idiotic things. But I recognize that that would be asking a lot from you.

Let's look at the Logan act:




The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799 (1799-01-30)) is a United States federal law that details the fine and/or imprisonment of unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. It was intended to prevent the undermining of the government's position.[SIZE=2][2][/SIZE] The Act was passed following George Logan's unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799. The Act was last amended in 1994, and violation of the Logan Act is a felony




Ok, so, Obama is a free citizen and is able to visit anywhere he chooses, and spend time with anyone he wants. What is he "negotiating" ?, and what "dispute" are they discussing ? Looks like they were simply having a nice chat, both men smiling, and even you or I could visit China and sit down with Xi Jinping if we were able to do so.


The bottom line is, Trump supporters think Obama and Hillary should go under a rock somewhere, and never be seen or hear from again. Not gonna happen. Both have pledged to continue to work for America, and not sit on their butts , like previous past Presidents and Presidential hopefuls.


Obama is working hard to earn that pension we pay him, good for him !

Maybe Obama is going to learn how to use chopsticks. Hope he has safety glasses on when he does. I'd hate to see him lose an eye.
