    With his mouthing off, it is quite easy for all to see that Obama has no honor, and has violated a long standing code.

    Yep. All that these leftists are doing is continuing to alienate the voters.

    Obama won't go quietly into the night.
    Especially since his legacy seems really gummy bear.
    Plus his OFA { Organizing for Action } is basically a call to arms for
    Protestors and malcontents to be trained in the practice of Saul Alinsky
    radical troublemaking.

    I cannot possibly disagree with you more. His background was perfect. Absolutely perfect.

    The guy thinks he's a cool-talking variation of Capt. Kirk. "This here is wha' cha' call the voyage of the Jive Ship Obamaphile, residing in places no man from the hood ever done occupied befo'."
    I am looking forward to him as the talking head for Rescue 911 point 6270. :cool:

    Then you were not looking very hard. We tried to warn people but they just went into a trance. people had a little more faith in the media then. Thats all gone now.

    that doesn't apply to Trump. The american people gave him a waiver.

    I rather like that he is free to speak out without consequence now. Eventually his cult will figure out what I have said all along about him--she was a show pony of no substance.

    Sorry, did I say that? No one stole the election. Hillary lost by being MORE horrible than Trump. The Dems just keep making excuses.

    Hey little man who survives off the gov't.
    Obama is out of office, you can end the derangement syndrome. No one listens to him anymore.

    They have to make up some outlandish story to explain how the serial liar Hillary lost.

    And the Constitution calls for a Republic, not a fascist state.

    You should read the entire link and not cherry pick. The ultimate power resides with the Secretary of State and the President.

    Laughing at ignorance is 'fun' for a while but not when it relates to your fellow citizens. Apparently there are some who still believe there is a 'Muslim ban', despite the truth being available to anyone familiar with the English language.

    I definitely wasn't cherry picking, section 212 grants the president power to restrict visas, but section 202 of the same law limits these powers. The UN also declared the executive order to be illegal under international law.

    This order is a violation of both national and international law

    Can you tell me where this code is. Is it written down somewhere? Does it exist anywhere beside in conservative's feverish brains?

    Keep in mind that unwritten codes are the same as orally backed debt, not worth the paper it isn't printed on.

    Trump is an eminence grise. By tradition one of their functions is to; " speak truth to power" whether this is popular or not.

    The same thing that happened when tea partier representatives and senators decided to obstruct Obama. They will gain ground. Obstructionism is a winning tactic in twenty-first century politics and it gets rewarded handsomely.

    Interesting. So the big donation by Saudi Arabia was not an assist to Hillary Clinton while she was running for president?

    So your blaming others for Hillary losing even though she was such a bad candidate that did everything possible to lose the election?

    So her committing a criminal act deleting all of those e-mails 3 weeks after the FBI told her to release them had nothing to do with it?

    Any evidence to prove Russia actually did anything to change the outcome of the election? I would like to see that.

    Obama is just another US citizen with the same right and duty to speak up when he sees political power being used unwisely or amorally. You just don't like the fact a lot of Americans listen to him. Former Presidents having had more experience than most , should do far more of this.

    this notion that they should shut up and prepare their memoirs, is dated and stupid. If Trump can't handle Obama expressing his views, he has no business thinking he can take on ISIS or China or Russia.

    I don't remember the Tea Party inciting violence. I remember the protests to be peaceful. The Democrats can obstruct but do it in a peaceful way. Nobody wins with violence.

    I will agree with you on one thing. Obama has every right to speak against Trump. It's freedom of speech. He should also be speaking out against the violence his party is inciting but he is to loyal to his party for that.

    I don't condone illegal conduct, but nobody from either party that I know of, has been charged or convicted of incitement since November.
