Forums - Politics Discussion - Obama should close his mouth and leave in dignity

Him and his wife both need to go.  8 years ago when Obama was riding high in the primaries and on the verge of securing the Democrat nomination for president, Michelle at a campaign rally stated that "for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country."

Fast forward 8 years later, she's been married to the most powerful man on the planet for 8 years, enjoyed lavish vacations and hosting countless parties and celebrities, and she's pretty much set for life after her husband's gig.  But what does she have to say now that the election results didn't go their way,and she'll no longer have access to all those taxpayer-paid vacations and White House parties and events???

"Now we're feelin' what not havin' hope feels like."  - Michelle Obama on Oprah, 2016

Don't let the door hit you on your big fat ass, Michelle!

Are you serious?  Michelle Obama has een a paragon of class and dignity for eight years alongside her husband - quite possibly the cleanest and most upstanding president of the last century - and you say something tasteless like this?  

Seriously, I keep forgetting how foolish some people are.

Obama has deported more immigrants than any other leader, authorizes drone strikes that kills civilians, sucks up to Saudi Arabia despite their horrible track record, authorized a war in Libya, arms rebels in Syria that commit numerous atrocities, he has prosecuted numerous whistleblowers, he helped bail out wall street instead of the people, he was silent during the North Dakota pipeline protests, he still brought out the troops from Iraq nor Afghanistan, he said that Guantanamo Bay would "be easy" to close, yet 8 years later it's still open, etc.

I think he should do whatever he wants.

Well, he already gets away with drone striking civilians, so I guess the sky's the limit for him.

Better than a president that started a war for no reason and could've prevented a terrorist attack (and a chance he did it)

I'm not a Republican. I hate both parties. However, Bush isn't the current president. Obama is. That's why it's more important to currently focus on what he's doing.



Obama, just have the CIA kill Trump, the US is corrupt and broken anyway. No one would cry if he was assassinated

I still can't believe we're stuck with Chester Cheeto as our President.

To be fair on the North Dakota thing I think he was involved in putting pressure on behind the scenes to get the Army to halt construction (at least for now anyway, it'll probably get greenlight as soon as Trump takes office), someone on high applied some pressure some where it seems like. 

Drone strikes are bad but what is the alternative? Letting terrorist hotbeds grow out of control and hoping for the best? Having boots on the ground which would probably result in greater casualities and leave whole cities/villages levelled? Not really sure there's a good answer here.  

Libya was a mistake, but I believe he's actually acknowledged that calling it the big regret of his presidency. It's not like Gaddafi was a boy scout or something though and the US involvement there was limited. I agree though on this he shouldn't opted to not get involved. 

He did bail out Wallstreet, but I don't think there was any choice, a collapse of the banking system would've hurt the "people" too, as far as I know most people don't keep their life savings in cash and most people need loans from the bank to buy things like houses, cars, etc. He also bailed out the auto industry in Detroit which saved a lot of jobs. 

There are some rudimentary forces left in Iraq and Afghanistan but no where near where we were pre-2008 where many American soldiers would've been forced into their 3rd/4th deployment to either country. 



In 4 years after we've been to war with China for the last 3 years and some of you are drafted and some of you are gone, lets look at the Obama administration again. Seem like every time we get a republican president we get thousands of people dead. I doubt this trend will be broken with a president who can be provoked so easily.



Politics in the USA is so childish, petty and pathetic. There was no real debate on anything, it was all about personal attacks of both candidates.

It's really gone down the toilet since about the 90s I think. Before that I think there was a little more respect/decorum. 

The rise of the internet and talk radio/Fox News IMO has poisoned the discourse and made into juvenile WWE style shock posturing. 

Trump just took it to the Nth level.
