Like Hillary, nor will Obama go away. Obama did well for himself but was a disaster for Democrats who lost over 1000 seats plus the presidency during his tenure and now he's at it again. Is he so hard headed that he can't understand those losses reflect on him, ... that we didn't like his policies.

"There is nothing more pathetic in life than a former president," President John Quincy Adams once said. That, like all other aspects of the American presidency, has evolved and changed, all due to the decisions made by the people who've held the office.

Most are war criminals by the time they exit office. A jail cell keeps them nicely off the radar.

Hillary was never the president.
If you don't like Obama, quit obsessing over him.

Problem solved.

And Obama is the most expensive ex-president in history. Costing taxpayers $1,153,000 next year, according to a new Congressional Research Service memo looking at the official allowances for the five living former chief executives.

His $1,153,000 budget request for 2018 is more than $100,000 higher than George W. Bush’s request for next year and nearly $200,000 more than Bill Clinton’s expected budget. George H.W. Bush is slated to get $942,000, while Jimmy Carter will get less than half that, at just $456,000.

Every former president gets an office, expenses and, in some cases, an annual pension payment, thanks to a 1950s-era law enacted after former President Harry S. Truman struggled for income when he left the White House in 1953.

While most ex-presidents since Truman have found ways to make their life beyond the Oval Office financially rewarding, the taxpayer-funded perks have remained — and Mr. Obama is the latest to take them.

What a gig!

Obama's like an ex you never want to hear from again but he won't go away.

LOL, yes I know and I'm glad she wasn't. As for Obama, I was happy he was gone and we were not seeing much of him but now he's at it again. It's all about riling people up obviously.

I thought people liked when someone didn't go by the book -- that did what THEY wanted.

How can you praise Trump for being an individual and then slam another guy for not doing what everyone else did in the past?

You wanted anti-establishment -- there it is.

Folks wanted a new look -- we got it.

With that comes things you may not like or support -- but you can't ask for things to change and then when they do -- say no no no -- no THAT -- just this......

Be careful what you wish for.

you don't want to hear what Obama said -- don't listen.

Obama had 8 years.

LOL as for being careful what you wish for. Ask Harry Reid about that one.

obozo just accepted a "ethics" award at the U of I and is doing a speech. I cant believe they are still handing the ex-narcissist in chief rewards....

Didnt they learn after they gave him the Noble Peace Price and shortly after Obozo started the Syrian/Libyan war that killed over 500k, and now caused open salve markets to form again..... smh

Obama is getting back on the campaign trail.

Hopefully he will deja vu and motivate the conservatives to get out and vote. The more he's seen, the more people will recall his BS.
