    Like how Jimmy Carter was criticizing Hillary and Trump? Or Bill Clinton criticizing Obama? Or Bush criticizing Trump?

    Or, in other words, you only believe what is comfortable to you and choose to go along with the lies of your losing party.

    In case, in your brilliance, you haven't noticed links saying anything you are looking to say, either way, can be found all over the place. Links are about as truthful as polls. What is real is the travel itinerary of the Obama circus and how closely it follows that of Trump.

    Your response shows the depth of your bias in favor of the little baby Obama and his whining about his lost agenda.

    One might also point out that you are making accusations of another poster, which you claim to hate. Hypocrite much?

    You know what they say about opinions. This is yours and to be kind, it is not factual.

    Obama's completing two terms with 59% approval speaks for itself.

    It that were 38%, he'd be sending hysterical tweets like a bastid.

    Just a point that you seem to have missed, Hillary was never president so criticizing her hardly fall in the same category. Second, the others waited until another election cycle had passed before opening their mouths. Third, they did not whine and try to destroy those that followed them.

    Obama is actively trying to take down Trump to save what is left of his legacy.

    Did you check your facts or just respond with the party line?

    Irrelevant. Every single former president has criticized the ones who came after them. Every single time. Without fail.

    If he had been a truthful president he would deserve that rating, instead he bought it from the liberal masses with promises of free stuff and lies.

    Yes, but not within the first six months of their presidency. Even those such as you need to admit that this is classless.

    Those who were pissy about the popular two-termer from the time they wallowed in their crackpot birther delusion will always be pissy.

    Especially now, of course, Americans recognize him as having been a decent POTUS,

    Did Bush know that?
    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/18/bush-takes-swipes-at-policies-of-obama/

    Not really, nor has it been a "tradition" for ex-presidents to stay out of politics and criticism. As far as I'm concerned ex-presidents taking swipes at the current president is basically a ritual in of itself.

    It was pretty decent of Obama to use the NSA to spy on innocent Americans not under any time of investigation. Or was it invading Libya with drones? Maybe arming Syrian Al Qaeda rebels?

    Too many great things I can't keep up

    Overall, Americans rate him quite highly. No president yet has been without legitimate criticism, and there are those on the far right and far left who still snivel about Obama.

    Trump avoidance is understandable.

    The fact of the matter is every single president is open to criticism for anyone and everyone. No matter what. If you don't wanna be criticized for anything then don't run for office.

    Clinton had his share of criticisms, so did Bush, and Obama damn sure did even for things that are absolutely nothing more than nitpicks. And now it's Trump's turn, he's not immune to it and he's taking his licks like everyone else.

    So which was your favorite Obama policy? The NSA spying on innocent Americans? Invading Libya? Arming Syrian Al Qaeda rebels? Being more flexible with Russia after the 2012 election?

    This! Good post.

    I voted Johnson, but support Trump on many things. One area he can improve on is handling criticism.

    Given the state of Trumpery, diversions to Barack Obama or Warren Harding may be very attractive to some, but reminiscing about either is an odd pastime.

    Overall, Americans rate him fairly well.

    But Obama did lie! He lied his half-Black ass off! He lied about so many things -- from getting us OUT of Iraq and Afghanistan, to this monstrous mess his 'Obamacare' has made of the entire medical/pharmaceutical industry. But approximately half the American cattle are sucking on one form of welfare or another, and so they credit their wondrous 'Messiah' with being the Sugar-daddy who gave them their EBT cards, their welfare payments, and 'subsidies' (another word for WELFARE) for everything from Obamacare to apartment rent.

    When Obama speaks now, those of us who actually pay our own way in life remember his dirty, deceitful LIES... ah, but the cattle? They just remember their President Messiah with tears in their eyes. They will curse and rail against anyone who ever tries to get this country back to the way it used to be, when people had value and worth, and when they actually earned their own way in life without having to suck on government for more and more and more and more, etc., etc.....

    It is Obama's right to go right on lying, and lying, and lying, ad infinitum, ad nauseam....

    [​IMG]. Democrat idea of correct relationship between government and worthless offspring....

    It is completely relevant since that is what we are discussing. Uncomfortable for a liberal to admit the truth, learn to read and then learn to think.

    Talk about being "pissy", how about how the dems reacted to the two terms of Bush? Or was that okay because it was done by democrats?

    The Obama administration created and armed the Islamic State.
    It would be interesting to find out how much of the billions of dollars of covert cash went to the political donor class.

    Well, since YOU approve it must be okay to be totally without class and to react badly when someone fights back. Of course Obama never liked someone who fought back, he attacked them without mercy and cried racism. That racism is still on display in his actions towards anyone not of his race.
