Time to face reality, Obama — Trump is going to be president "So this is how it ends — in a whimper wrapped in self-pity and recriminations. With President Obama on the defensive at his final press conference and Hillary Clinton’s last campaign event resembling a wake, the Democratic Party is limping off the stage and into the political winter. It was supposed to sit atop the national power pyramid for decades, a new paradigm of liberals, progressives, the young, the old, the unions and blacks, Latinos, Muslims and Asians. The torch would be passed from Obama to Clinton, a liberal Supreme Court would vastly expand executive power and the regulatory state would enforce climate-change orthodoxy on all industry and elitist dictates on every American. Globalism would be the new patriotism. But a funny thing happened on the way to one-party dominance: The people who work for a living said no, hell no. Their revolt brings Donald Trump to the White House amid hopes of a revival of the economy and of the American spirit. Thoroughly beaten, the Dems are at their lowest point in nearly a century. From the White House to Congress to statehouses, they are on the outside looking in. Their punishment was well-deserved, as demonstrated by Obama and Clinton. Full of excuses and blaming everyone except themselves, their closing acts proved it is time for them to go. They have nothing new to offer, with their vision of the future limited to larger doses of the same failing medicine and their intolerance for disagreement showing they would never learn from their mistakes. Their bad ideas had run their disastrous course. Yet instead of analyzing what went wrong and trying to find new organizing principles, party leaders and activists are pointing fingers at the FBI and Russia, and engaging in a mad bid to overturn Trump’s Electoral College victory. Because they are doomed to fail, we could be witnessing the death throes of the Democratic Party as we know it. With Obama and the Clintons encouraging the attempted theft of an election they lost and failing to denounce intimidation and death threats against Trump electoral voters, most Americans have reason to consider the Dems a dead letter." http://nypost.com/2016/12/18/time-to-face-reality-obama-trump-is-going-to-be-president/ The New York Post hit the nail on the head. The sobbing, raging and threats - including violence - plus encouraging criminality in a tantrum over the election? Time to say goodbye to the Democratic Party. The election news? Trump is going to be president.
Obama, and by extension Hillary have expressed the saddest ending to their careers that I have ever seen certainly in my lifetime. All Obama had left was to go out gracefully, with class, and despite all of his shortcomings could have at least had that. But he decided to kick and scream and resort to narcissism in some desperate looking attempt to rewrite recent history. And with the same misplaced arrogance that has littered his delusional 8 years.
At this end point he is doing as he as done his whole presidency. What he was told to do. His presidency was not about "him". It was about the leftist 5th column. What you are now seeing from Obama is but a reflection of their dismay and rage. Ditto for Hillary. Another bought dog. .
Aint that the truth. Look at how michelle obama went low and attacked trump while Trump went high. How better for dems to go out than doing the very things they accused others of doing. It's a loss that is virtually perfect. The only thing left that could make this better is to see Obama stompy stomp his feet.
I truly believe that this election was a vote against Obama and his incompetence and I believe he knows it. With his ego along with every leftist drooling over his every word, he allowed himself to believe he could go from community organizer to the most powerful man in the world and it would be easy. For the last 8 years democrats has lost seat after seat and that rests squarely on Obama's shoulders, and again, he knows it. So Obama's going to do whatever he needs to do to in order to restore his reputation and legacy and the only way he seems to feel he can accomplish that is by making Trump appear to be a worse president than he was. Good luck with that as Obama will hold the label of America's worst president for decades.
Somewhere, in the gloom of the distant past, lies this one burning mistake that the Democrats made. It will take years, decades, maybe centuries of scholarly endeavor, but someone, someday may come to find out where they went wrong. Perhaps Obama should hook up with O.J. in their elusive search for the truth.
And the irony is that both Obama and OJ set race relations back decades, but yet they both cry racism to meet their ends
It's time for us to all face the reality that Trump is going to not only divide America ever further, but break America down and not build it up. I like how his political ad said, "It takes a builder to...." but America is not like building Trump Tower, or a golf course. You can't stump contractors, or settle settlements for scams. The only common sense move now is to disrespect and dishonor this man with passion, he is a repulsive creature who has defamed the White house. It should be considered a attack on American soil.
Obama divided America more then any president in my life time. Never seen so much race/sex/religion baiting. I think America is about as divided as it can get. Trump can only bring it together, at worse, it will stay the same. This is what has been going on. Obama said those jobs, those places are never coming back. He is managing our decline. I think it would be hard for any president to keep the choke hold on the US economy like Obama has. It takes pay to play to build America right? Disrespect and dishonor are leftist staples. I'm sure you will be highly skilled at both. Nobody expects you to be classy and kind. Now a classy leftist... that's something you don't see everyday. I bet the first thing Trump does, you use as an excuse to smash and grab a TV.
You mean like the pay-to-play scam Trump's sons were setting up for their fathers worthless inauguration? The division in religion, pertaining to Islam, was not as bad until Trump came into the picture. I'm not saying Obama never created division, but Trump has created a divide that makes Obama's look like basketball practice.
The Trump pay to play is a charity thing and is nothing because it's advertised. That's nothing like the one the Clinton's were running selling government favors for foundation donations using a private email. It always gives me a laugh though when establishment worshipers complain about pay to play. Uh... ya it was... ISIS... Boston Bombers... Saying Muslims hate US because of Trump really shows how brainwashed an establishment tool can get. Well, maybe you need to turn on NPR and keep slamming your ADD meds. Then you'll no longer think that. Trump will unite this country. WITH MONEY. As foreign investment now begins to poor in, jobs will become plentiful, and so will money. People will forget all about the race/sex/religion baiting and focus on saving for that new car/house. The very worst thing that can happen to the Democrats, is for Trump to take their boot off the neck of the economy. If America booms, the Democrats will have 20 years to think of a new card to replace the race/sex/religion card with while they are out of power.
How so? He won by a larger margin after the 2nd electoral vote. Republicans dominated the other elections. The stock market skyrocketed when he won. It's also why the entire police force supported Trump. Obama? Hates cops, supported a bigoted hate group BLM, Obama releases terrorists for a traitor, he mocks Americans. This country hasn't been this divided in a century. People spoke and are sick of it.
Creating a divide between Americans and Mexicans and Americans and Muslims.... Someone else on this board tried claiming its because of Trump the stock market skyrocketed, no its not. its merely coincidental timing. The reason the stock market was at a all-time low when Obama was elected was because of the great recession. Please don't try to say "The people spoke" when it was primarily the emotionally unstable you saw at Trump's rallies that voted for him.
No, that is the assigned job of the 6 media and press collection of the global super rich elites - such as the Mexican billionaire who owns the Washington Post.
And being a elitist is bad, why? Being average means you come, live, and die without making some sort of impact on the world. And spare me of that silly conspiracy the media has its own agenda.
You are so confused. This is just more conservative hysterics on your part. Relax, your guy won the election; he'll be sworn into office on January 20th.
The awkward moment Obama walks out of the White House and Trump walks in...It's like when the new girlfriend moves in and the ex moves out.
You mean that divide you just made up in your head? Many legal Mexicans are thrilled with trump because they went through years of the process before they could be a citizen. Illegals suck that out of them. No one will divide more than Obama had.
I don't think Obama did anything to divide Americans. I don't think anyone will find any objective quantifiable proof to the contrary.
