Barack Obama never has a good word to say about Donald Trump.
He’s cast him as a threat to the Republic.
And now, as Trump is about to take office, Obama issued him one final warning.
In his last 60 Minutes interview as President, Obama weighed in on ‘Trump, the candidate’ vs. ‘Trump, the President’.
While Obama did label Trump as the “change candidate”, he also warned that incoming President’s have difficulty bringing about the change they had campaigned on.
The Hill reports:
“Obama was asked by host Steve Kroft if he thinks anybody can change Washington.
“I think the American people can change Washington,” Obama said.
“But I think that it is not going to change, because somebody from on high directs that change.”
The president said that members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are “motivated by all kinds of issues,” including reelection.
“They’re sincerely interested in the economy, in terrorism, in social issues,” he said.
“But the one overriding thing they’re interested in is getting reelected. And if– they think that it’s harder for them to get reelected by cooperating with each other, then they won’t cooperate.”
However, this is in complete contradiction to Obama’s own time in office.
Obama prioritized government control over health care above all else.
And this was despite coming into office during the great recession where our economy was shedding hundreds of thousands of jobs per month.
In fact, during his reelection campaign, Obama was asked even asked in a meeting with the Des Moines Register editorial board if he regretted pushing Obamacare over economic priorities.
He responded in confidence, “Absolutely not.”
Town hall reports on the exchange:
“QUESTION: “Some say you had a super majority in your first two years and had this incredible opportunity, but because of what you were talking about, as you were running, you had to go to get Obamacare done. Do you have any regrets taking on some of the economic issues, some of the issues that we’re talking about for your second term, that when you had the chance, so to speak, during your first — do you have any regrets that you didn’t do that at that time?”
OBAMA: “Absolutely not, Laura.”
So actually, if a President really wants to push for change, he can.
And Obama proved this with his unyielding quest for socialized medicine.
Obama continued his attack on Trump with 60 Minutes, and warned Republicans to stand up to Trump if he starts eroding certain “norms”.
The Hill reports:
“I think everybody has to acknowledge don’t underestimate the guy, because he– he’s going to be 45th president of the United States. The one thing I’ve said to him directly, and I– I would advise– my Republican friends in Congress and supporters around the country, is just make sure that– as we go forward certain norms, certain– institutional traditions– don’t get eroded, because there’s a reason they’re in place.”
But the promise to shatter these “norms” – whatever they may be – is a large reason why Trump was elected.
What do you think about Obama’s attacks?
Let us know in the comment section.
he’s gone best day of my life!!
Second best day would be when he and Hillery are locked up for treason against the AMERICAN Citizens. (legal ones).
In Gitmo! As cellmates!
Works for me.
Hope so . There is no reason why Hillary should get away with the emails and Benghazi scandals.
Let us not forget the “pay-for-play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation! Could someone point to the law which permits a government official to “supplement” their income by selling bits and pieces of America? There is a video online where Clinton is “negotiating” the sale of American equipment to a foreign buyer and she clearly and unequivocally states, the sale would be much quicker if the foreign buyer FIRST donates to the Clinton Foundation. The buyer is clearly surprised, but I was shocked. This went on for years.
Right you are!
Maybe President Trump will make that happen and soon!
Mine too…
If only everything he screwed up went with him
Yes, too bad…
Ah if only it were so what a grand day it would be.
Good point..
The eight year nightmare is finally over.
AMEN AMEN
True! For the past three months, I was certain Obama had one more “surprise” for America that would scare us all. I am glad I was wrong.
The past three years seemed like a lifetime! I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Instinctively, I felt he wanted to do “one-more-thing” as a surprise. It would have been something designed to scare us to death. After Clinton lost the election, Obama pulled out all the stops; his rage was a living thing! Never mind that he was willing to destroy America as payback for the loss of Agenda 21; any weapon would have sufficed.
I AGREE, EVEN THE ELECTION YEAR SEEMED LONGER THEN IT WAS,AND THE TIME IT TOOK FOR TRUMP TO TAKE OFFICE SEEMED TO TAKE FOREVER, TOO. AND ALL THIS AT A TIME IN MANY OF OUR LIVES WHEN TIME SEEMS TO GO BY FAST, MUCH OF THE TIME.
And we can all be THANKFUL for that! I am glad the
lowlife is finally gone for good! Hope obama is never seen
or heard from EVER again!
Obama you were to raciest and too much a gay lover to change Washington. You were the normal Democrat, give everything away to the lazy. Obama you and you alone destroyed the moral fabric of a once great America. There is a special place in hell for you.
He was the worst and made everything he touched worse…..You tried to destroy us all….
He certainly added to the mess of the LGBT and desicrated the military…totally…Trump will restore that proud part of America and soon.
Not everyone is concerned about all of Obama’s edicts, but I his “bathroom edict” is over-the-top! How is that a “presidential duty”?
We ended up with eight long, very long, years of Obama because the bandwagon refused to adhere to the Constitutional parameters of “Natural Born Citizen”.
The news media should not cover him anymore. He was the worst person ever in the White House. So, why should anyone listen to him!
The only ones that will be covering him is CNN.
I hope so….
Every time he complains about something Trump does, ABC, CBS, and NBC will report it.
Apparently, the former president is unwilling to recognize that he is now redundant. His sly, behind-the-scenes meddling is designed to undermine and disparage President Trump. Obama will keep stirring the pot to subvert Trump’s presidency.
I agree….
It is difficult to understand, but millions of people “loved” Obama, and even Clinton! That is impossible for me to comprehend.
Me also, I can’t fathom where the media says his approval rating is so high. Maybe they asked whether America was glad to see him out of the WH and thought the American people approved of him. It boggles the mind.
The younger generation was so brainwashed in schools to make them into socialists that they lost the ability to recognize truth when it hit them in the head…Socialized forever…..imbiceies.
Because he said wonderful things, they wanted to hear and then went around congress and did all the crap that nobody listened to or heard about. Because it was on the qt. They are still fooled and don’t believe it.
Yes,your side lost because you and her were LOSER`S.Shut up and get the F out !!!
Seems BO is worried more about President Trump undoing all the ruination BO created! He acts like he is speaking for the American people; yet he was the one going around the world telling other world rulers that America was the problem. Good riddance to him and all who supported him!
Just wait until all the truth about who he really is comes out…The crazies will have it right in their face that he was totally illegal president and yet will never believe truth..But We the People will be vindicated as we knew who he was from the very beginning and it has been very painful until now. We will so rejoice in the absolute ridiculous truth about him…..
MaryAnn33, there is a saying that is particularly appropriate: “there are none so blind as those who will not see.” Too many did not want to see; they preferred jumping on the bandwagon. Obama’s meddling and stirring the pot needs to stop! He failed to achieve his goals (U.N. Agenda 21) but that is his problem, not ours, and certainly not President Trump’s. There is no question in my mind that the reason Trump was elected is due in large part to Obama’s failure to adhere to his oath of office; his secret plans, and his insistence on erasing our borders.
Obama caused more strife between the blacks and whites than anyone in history.He did more to destroy this country than anyone in history.He is a ghetto Black that resents anyone with authority and never listened to congress just skirted around them with his executive orders,he demolished our military because that was a sign of power and told the blacks to kill the police all because he can’t stand authority.Just typical black.
racism has nothing to do with black or white skin color-it has to do with the color of one’s heart-fool. There are alot of mind-controlled, idiot, self serving, stupid people out there of all colors and religious persuasions who would shoot themselves in the foot or kill their own for a debit card-COLOR OF THE SKIN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. That being said, the bi-racial Obama, is a pathetic probably lab creating victim of the alligators in the back room-i feel sad for him and all who do evil–but that does not mean that he and his controllers get a free pass-take their power to do harm away from them and THEN forgive them for they know not what they do–that when they harm others, they also harm themselves in the long run–just LOOK at Hillary and Bill NOW–sad pathetic legacy of evil–and no, not because they are dems–look at their leader Poppy and Bar NOW-if they really are in the hospital, which i doubt-any recent picture of any of the lot betray the wages of sin.
Maybe you should go to Washington and preach to those rioters,That would probably stop them ,Right.Especially with Obama egging them on.
Obama’s “stock-in-trade” was the blame-game: “we” are divisive; “we” are selfish; “we” are racist. What he failed to understand, is his entire presidency was geared to what HE wanted. It had nothing to do with what was best for America. Last night, my husband and I watched a three-hour interview of Louis Farrakhan on the Alex Jones online program. It was educational, profound, and almost life-altering. The difference between Obama’s daily dose of rhetoric and Farrakhan’s first-hand experience with racial divides and his historical knowledge was the difference between night and day. Farrakhan is obviously a brilliant, educated person. My husband and I could not stop watching this interview. If you have an opportunity to see this, I highly recommend it.
And he was just such a tiny part black…Now Herman Cain would have made the blacks proud and happy.
You poor deluded fools. Trump is a monster and you will soon rue the day you supported the jerk.
Sidney you must quit eating crap, your breath stinks.
You are the coprophagic one, you poor deluded moron.
G F Y
Don’t have to – your fuehrer is doing it for me, asshole!
Sidney go have some more kool aid
It’s over. He’s gone. Move along now…
God Bless America!
Yeah like the Democrats did.NOT
Chris Brown, he is not gone. Obama purchased a mansion very close to the White House. Of course, he bought it when he thought Clinton would be elected, but he wanted to be available to micro-manage a Clinton presidency, particularly UN Agenda 21. Thankfully, we dodged that bullet.
We’ll see if that “somebody” gets to Trump…….Illuminati? or something always seems to get to these folks. Will be interesting to see what happens.
He’s probably already a part of it. It’s obvious he likes their global agenda.
Hope you’re wrong.
Even on the way out, Obama’s still full of chit.
I never want to see or hear him again.
Amen to that
I did not watch or listen to him in my home either…He will be in the very bowels of hell with the devil himself…Just what he deserves…He will never complain of cold throughout eternity…Extremely hot down there.
Oblowhole, and his never ending lines in the sand. He a comedian. A very bad one. Hahahaha
Obama is a pathetic stooge of the cia, the bushes, and the boys/reptiles in the back room-and a legend in his own pathetic mind. Trump is very definitely a wild card,-probably controlled by the Jesuit faction of the cia-and probably bought and paid for by the multinational corporations-and maybe by China-who one meme says owns 80% of Trump’s debt. That being said, he could also be a Mahatma–a great soul come to usher in the golden age–all bets are off with Trump–if anyone wants to really make the world a better place for all, strongly suggest holding for the highest good of ALL in all Trump and crew do going forward instead of acting like coke head alligators in a feeding frenzy controlled by a computer run amok.
Obama, you were and still are the threat to the republic! Gitmo needs to get a space ready for you!! Ride into the sunset like a good little boy!
the american people will now see just how lazy obummer really was. he spent a fortune on vacations and hiding his college records but did very little to help the middle class americans. lost jobs and welfare is his legacy
Obama knows all about presidential “norms.” He was the King of norms … shattered ones. He didn’t abide by ANY norms set throughout our history by past presidents. Just look at all his criminal activities in just his last week in office!
He must go to Gitmo for trial and hanging….
hooray the wicked witch is gone. i hope this country never ever sees the likes of him again. go trump.yeah.
Nobody cares what Obama says or thinks. He’s in Palm Springs and has to pay their way back so he’ll probably just stay there for the next 20 years and play golf.
I wish. He’s got a house rented in Washington DC and probably wants the press to keep coming to interview him as if he were still president. He wants to cause all the trouble he can for Trump. Other presidents go on and lead quiet lives and let the new president lead. Obama has no plans to do that. He could do something good and go back to Chicago and help stop the constant murders and black-on-black crime.
Let us now talk about the popularity that CNN and others report. Did any conservative you know or anyone at all you know ever take part in that poll…NO we did not get to vote and our vote would have been about 2% approval if it were a real poll.
No, no one ever asked me or my husband who we were going to vote for! I don’t know anybody that they asked, either! Makes me wonder about all these polls and who they are calling to ask their opinions!
Fake polls of only dems.
It actually is a pretty good place for him…Swarming with gays…all over the place.
Yea we saw how standing up to Obama when he was eroding our country in front of our eyes and how that worked out. He has a lot of balls telling us to stand up to Trump if he starts eroding the norms. What a worthless piece of shit Obama is and I know I am not alone in saying good riddance to that worthless piece of shit! It is going to take Trump two or more years just to get our country back to the way it was prior to this pricks erosion! Drain the swamp will have to wait until we get erosion control in check!
Agree
RE: Obama. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Term limits alone will drain most of the swamp….
Well ole jug ears is about to learn what CONSEQUENCES really mean. Him and the rest of the DNC
I would like to see Obamarat Hanged for Treason !
I do think that his hanging will become reality. We have law and order now under Trump. He must pay for all his lies and crimes and treason…..What a thing he pulled on all the dummies here in this country. How he hates all that is good and clean and white and Godly.
Obama is afraid because he knows Trump, will be a better POTUS!
Yes, he does know that….
So glad Obama day’s are behind us..Am so delighted we now have Trump……
Welcome Donald Trump as our 45th President! Now our country can get healed from the past 8 years of upside down government. We got your back President Trump!
Congratulations on your well deserved victory!
We the people need to warn Obama to keep his nose out of Trumps decisions. The only reason he is staying in Washington is to continue stirring up trouble. He and all his followers need to pack up and go to Kenya. Maybe he could become President over there.
Obama, I hope you read this. Go back to Kenya you ni99er. You did enough harm to our country. I hope Trump undoes everything you signed into your law. You should be arrested and shoved into prison along with Hellery.
finally the mus-slime is gonen now PROVE he was ineligible and we can ERASE ALL he as done
I don’t quite see anything as an attack against Trump in reality. Donald will be sworn in as president and I think that he like every president before him will take his positions with reflection on what came before him as the president of our country, and like every president before him, he will bring his own processes and goals as well as his own personal way of doing things to the office. I can’t imagine that any previous president did not reflect on the history of our country, and not find that retrospection to be an invaluable tool in their own term. Whether people like it or not, the past does and will continue to shape the choices before you as you move forward. I just hope that we as a people can stop bickering between ourselves because we have different values and priorities and try to move forward in life and that we could try to stop viewing things as being me against you because I am a Republican and you are a Democrat! This ideal basis is divisional and causes so much strife and unkind feelings between us as a nation with rights to freedom. If a good idea comes about, it should not matter if it came about because it was proposed by one side or the other and contested because of party affiliation, it should be looked at for it’s merrits, not whether a Dem or Republican came up with it! I do not see any attacks here other than the articles author trying to stir up I’ll will and confrontations. Name one president who has NOT tried to offer the incoming successor some advice? Solicited or not I have a feeling you can’t actually name one!
He is a jerk and has been from day one when he was elected. He looked at McCain and said. I won you lost so get over it.
Why is it that when I view Obama I see an arrogant asshole and when I see Trump I see someone who is irritable at times but never any arrogance.
President Obama was never a mystery he hated America and now
he is history.
Stand by for “Part Two” of the 0bama Agenda…Although he appears to be out of the White House many of his minions are still on the scene.. Watch for continued 0bama mischief……
I OBJECT to journalese rubbish, that was no attack , just a skillfully presented linking of his work to the now new president.! very restrained
Trump said it was time to drain the swamp and the biggest stink just left. I wonder how many people saw through his BS and he was trying to destroy America. Thank God he is gone now we have to see if the morons that are demonstrating because Hillary didn’t win will ever come to their senses…..if they ever had any!
In response – weak, devoid of the important content requiring specific reference in his statement and thoroughly Obama.
CAROLLHOCK I hate to say it but ( barry seotoro aka hussein ( barry obama ) i hope you get the picture that these two names are one in the same! please look it up and while you look that up type in how many tallainban training camps are in the united states of AMERICA AND IF THAT DOESN’T SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF YOU THEN YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! THE ONLY WAY THE COUNTRY WILL BE SAFE FROM OBAMA IT TO HANG HIM OR PUT HIM IN A CELL FOR ONE AND NO PHONES OR LETTERS OR DAYLIGHT! HE IS WORSE THEN A SNAKE AT LEAST WITH A SNAKE WHEN YOU CUT IT’S HEAD OFF YOU HAVE A CHANCE AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN! GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THIS COUNTRY!
obola and his minions should be DEAD. Period.
Obammy and Congressional Democrats want the Norm kept which would mean they would be in control which is the reason we have the massive debt and job killing regs we got from Obammy. Trump needs to do exactly the opposite of what Obammy says and that would be best for this Nation.
obama lies. he says ‘he thinks’. He does not think. He is a rabid ideologue of bs that was pumped into his skull since an early age. If he actually thought, he would have tossed all that garbage pout long ago..
The establishment politicians, democrats and republicans, should take notice. The president is not one of them and is working to restore the integrity and ownership of the US government back to the people of this country. Too long have these politicians made their move to Washington and ended up padding their own pockets at the expense of the taxpayers. Every American citizen should be happy that we now have a chance to take back out country with leadership for the people. The last administration has to be the worst since we started electing presidents. Hopefully, all the campaign promises will be enacted and we be a strong nation again.
Obama has refused to acknowledge the will of the people. Trump has tapped into that will with tremendous success.
Talk about eroding norms – that’s just what Obummer did himself.
If the PEOPLE would just ignore the POS NIGGROER maybe it will go away.
Obama care made those who were working but couldn’t afford insurance because they made to much to get the poverty benefit, and to add insult to injury this year the same middle class workers are being forced to pay $695 to pay for the poor. Please President Trump end this madness that was brought upon us by EX-President Obama.
I THINK OBAMINATION NEEDS TO JUST LEAVE THE GOVERNMENT TO TRUMP AND THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTRY. THE THING THAT OBUMINATION DOES NOT WANT TO ACCEPT IS THAT NOBODY WANTED HIS CHANGES, AND MOST OF THE SANE PEOPLE WANT TRUMPS CHANGES
I think we’re well rid of Barack Hussein Obama. I suppose there are a couple of things he did in office that were of benefit to the United States; but very few. It’s still going to be years to undo the damage he did.
What a joke he is, norms, he did nothing but erode U.S. norms. He literally gave LGBT the right to rule the nation, the courts and the presidency. He is the one who put homosexuals in our embassies overseas and raised the homosexual flag in place of the American flag at the embassies. He even put the White House in the colors of the homosexual flag. What kind of president of the U.S. puts a flag relating to sexual activity in place of the American flag on our embassies to represent the U.S. He never stopped Soros from paying rioters to burn businesses and homes of people living in the areas they were rioting in. He made criminals of the police and heroes of the criminals. He wanted to give more and more taxpayer money to the very people who rip babies apart and suck their brains out to kill the baby because some selfish, stupid woman refuses to give life to the baby and give the baby to someone who would love the baby. He helped ISIS kill Christians and Muslims alike and than brought them into this country to kill us. He with his no-borders encouraged people to illegally come into the U.S. and take jobs of American citizens and the criminals and drugs came with them. He made no attempt to save American citizens from these rapists, killers and drug runners, even allowed them to get a free education for their kids in our schools from the taxpaper and welfare, access to our social security that workers put their own money into, etc., etc. Norms, he has balls telling Trump to not shatter norms when he means for Trump to not shatter Obama’s norms while Trump wants to bring back our U.S. norms, meaning our Constitution by which we have been living by and the blacks were freed under.
Guess what he did before walking out the door..? True,,google it.
“Obama Gives Palestine $221M hours before leaving office before Trump inauguration.”
obama is evil , will have his day either behind bars or 6 feet under God willing !!
