I wonder why they dont bring in their other more peaceful Peace Prize winner, Al Gore? At least he wasnt responsable for killing thousands of people in the middle east.

Perhaps you forgot about the Trump Putin summit where when asked if he 'held Russia at all accountable' Trump said the United States had been foolish in front of Putins face and the world!

Weak on Putin? Give me a break. Trump is in Putins puppet.
The sanctions on Russia have nothing to do with Trump. As we all know Trump is not running the country - his aides are.



Ukraine tested its new Javelin anti-tank missiles Tuesday for the first time since the United States approved the sale of the weapon system to assist Ukraine’s defenses in its ongoing conflict with pro-Russian separatists.

Some former Presidents leave the political arena, and some do not.

Herbert Hoover was a one-term President, and an unpopular one, but he remained a visible person in his party for decades. And he was very long-lived.

So long lived that eventually his term faded out of populace memory. By his end, he was thought of as just a Grand Old Man Of History.

I see the same thing happening with Jimmy Carter today. He wasn't close to being as popular when he was President as he is today, but he achieved all of his good will through the actions he took after he became a private citizen again.

There is nothing at all new with former Presidents remaining politically active once out of office.

Thomas Jefferson and his greatest opponent, John Adams, both Founding Fathers, were both extremely active in their party's politics, remained frenemies who argued with each other frequently, and hotly. For their entire lives as opposite political forces in our nation.
They feuded until they both died. On the same day. Jefferson died happy knowing he finally got the last word over Adams.

Did you really expect a Community Organizer who couldnt even do anything to protect people in his home town, to actually be able to do anything to protect anyone on a world or country level. The only thing he was good at was using Cruise Missiles, destroying Muslim Countries and demonizing half the population at home.

Interesting accusation. What does Trump do every week at his taxpayer-funded rallies if not demonize over half the population?

So tell me how Trump is doing something to protect people of gun violence. What measures has he taken. Absolutely none. Yet it’s Obama’s fault

Obama has dignity and has always shown respect for women, opponents and the electorate. I cannot recall hearing that he ripped anyone off at a bogus university. He showed his tax returns and divested his investments into treasury bonds according to protocol and was openly loving and respectful to his wife and family. Trump the POS birther trolled Obama for eight years and Obama remained dignified and took the high road at all times. Trump the grifter and *****-grabber could not shine Obama's shoes

Republicans had so many qualified candidates to chose from. Democrats didn't.
Republican's didn't end up having a single qualified candidate. All stooges.

LOL as for being careful what you wish for. Ask Harry Reid about that one.
I'm not emotionally attached to a party so I don't get the angst that some folks feel when Obama speaks.

I don't like Trump because he is Trump -- it has nothing to do with politics.

Y'all chose the wrong guy -- you may have some good ideas...but he wasn't one of them.
