    Obama is not that popular. His plan to resign as a President who made American history seems to fail. The attitude of the public to his figure shows that he has no approval among citizens. Usually rich people have strong will to buy celebrities` staff. Yet, Obama is far from George Washington.

    Hopefully Trump will demolish the White House considering how grossly defiled it has become.

    Might it be that that there is a very limited market for 22 million dollar homes? Such estates are very expensive to maintain, they require a full time staff, gardeners, people to clean, maintenance people, etc. I seriously doubt the fact that Obama stayed there has anything to do with the seller dropping the price.

    I'm sure there will soon be a buyer.

    I'm not too crazy about one of my employees being able to afford to rent that when I can't.

    When change is made, like Jackie Robinson, the current bigots don't like it.

    It's only decades later and sometimes after death when they become an American Icon.

    The difference is Jackie Robinson was great, and a conservative.

    ^But they didn't think so at that time. Transitions are hard for many. Not for some. Welcome to politics.

    "Just a bunch of crackpots, still fighting the Civil war". Stay happy with that flag..

    People attacked Obama for driving up the entire national debt before the Right Wing Congress passed a single bill. You can't hide today. It's time dated in the Internet.

    Speaking of politics, Robinson was a conservative, unlike Obama. Robinson was a lot smarter than Obama, and went through a lot more BS to get where he wanted to be.

    Probably true...

    If he was more Progressive, he would have been attacked harder.

    Since he was patient and a pushover black player, he got let into the white inner circle.

    Thanks for doubling down on my point.:fishing:

    If he just let his feelings lose, he probably would have sounded like "Gangster Rap". But you know the follow up to this oppression don't you?

    The 14 year olds today research it. You can't cover it up anymore. Bigotry is over. Bigots are a dying breed. Extremely young kids are smarter than 90 year old adults on some topics. It's sad. Age wisdom went out the window with the internet.

    Robinson was a pushover black player? Lol, evidently you know nothing about him. Now I understand why you think Obama and Robinson are similar.

    Though indeed conservative on some issues, Robinson identified himself as independent, and although he did work to get his nominee Nelson Rockefeller on the Republican ticket, Robinson soon left the republican party when they nominated Goldwater. Robinson went on to support Humphreys, a democrat, against Nixon. He was an activist for black causes in a way that the right would see as affirmative action.
    Here is what he had to say about the nomination of Goldwater at the republican convention. "I have a better understanding of what it felt like to be a Jew in Hitler's Germany".
    So indeed, I do not disagree with you that Robinson was on cetain issues conservative, I just want to make sure that there is not some misunderstanding like he was a Republican stalwart. A few years ago, on some political boards people were trying to argue that MLK was a republican. Let's not whitewash history.

    Goldwater was "colorblind"; he wasn't racist. There's a difference.

    Whats sick about it?

    The White House is the residence of the leader of the free world.

    Obama defiles it with his infestation as he does not lead he rules, and he does not see us a free citizens but as subjects.

    Jackie Robinson was all all time great and his skin color had nothing to do with it. Stop getting your information from movies. If you are suggesting Obama would be an "icon" because he is half black perhaps it is you that is obsessed with skin color and not others.

    Yes, when Trump finally realize he will never make it to the White House, he may comfort himself with the ownership of President Obama's rental!

    I stated that your first comment was sick. Your second comment explains it: it is completely delusional!

    Delusional would be thinking we aren't less free because of the reign of Obama.

    President Obama has a 45% approval rating and a 51% disapproval rating.
    http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/gallup-daily-obama-job-approval.aspx

    Congressional Republicans have a 16% approval rating and a 76% disapproval rating.
    http://www.pollingreport.com/cong_rep.htm

    With almost a three-times greater approval rating than Congressional Republicans I don't think we should be worrying about President Obama's approval rating.

    Bush didn't have the Faux News arm of the Republican party on a 24/7 cycle to spread propaganda and lies about him and his crime family as they actually glossed over ignored the truth of his and vampire Cheney's corrupt war mongering, lying administration. First and foremost, I cannot recall the Democrats in Congress conspiring to make a one term POTUS on the eve of his first inauguration.

    He also opposed the Civil Rights laws. He believed it should be a State issue. Under his way we would still have Du Jure segregation in much of the South.

    GW Bush's approval rating at about the same point in his Presidency was under 35% and his disapproval rating was above 60% source
