Looking for meaning in GAF
Seriously, if there was any situation where it's completely and totally okay to go "I'm done. So long, you fuckers", Obama is in it.

I wouldn't blame him in the slightest if he did that.

Imagining Trump doing these things or giving SOTU's really sucks. Going to be a huge departure from Obama's charisma and composure.

"My fellow Americans,

I have decided 25% of the population are dolts and don't have any idea what they are doing and are out of their freaking minds!. As such I have notified the Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Chiefs of Staff that I shall remain in power another four years until the insanity subsides.

Thank you, and god bless America."

You don't really mean this do you? Take a step back and recognize what it means to live in a Democracy.

"What will you say to foreign leaders concerned about Donald Trump?"

"Hopefully the other Republican politicians will keep him in check."

Lmao I guess Dave was right about Obama having Trump shook.

Got him walking back his NATO comments in the presence of Barry O.

Obama calling out the terrible ground game and lack of messaging nationwide. Even if he may have indirectly caused some of these issues, it's good to hear him say those are some of the major DNC defects.

I'm glad to hear him say it. Hopefully the next candidate in 2020 is listening.

Democracy schmocracy.

I wonder what Obama could've done in eight years if he wasn't being obstructed by Republicans at every opportunity.

Study history. Democracies are not infallible.

Just accepting everything is going to be okay is want got Rome a dictator.

I'm well aware, but what you are advocating is a step towards that dictator.

I can do nothing but hope that our institutions can withstand what has the potential to happen.

Looking over the data in my little red county in southern Ohio. Obama lost here in 04 by 7%, lost in 08 by 1%. Hillary lost by 28% this election.



Obama came here a few times, Romney came here a lot, Bush and Mccain, came, Bill Clinton still swings by. Hillary did not come once.
