Hey Kids! Time's Running out for Trashing This President.

Get your licks in now. Let it all out. I'll be skipping those threads, but time's short for that. After eight years of it, you'd think people would be tired of doing that.

Here's the thing: You're going to miss him when he's gone, I guarantee.

Appears the Monied Class is nervous as to what they wanted and got. Do really worry there will be Millions of our neighbors with out employment by this time in 2018 without any safety net.

yes, he pissed me off at times but so does my dad/mom/wife/son/daughter etc. He performed miracles if you consider the constant opposition and obstructionism.

He's aged. May he get some rest.

Beyond that, I sincerely hope everyone gets what they want for Christmas, and in that vein I hope you get whatever it is you wanted out of this thread, too.

In a letter to the editor of our weekly newspaper, a local Tea Partier predicted President Obama is using the Russian hacking as a pretext to declare martial law and prevent Trump from taking office.

We can always hope.

I want to scream, swear and throw things. Also, I imagine that -- in private moments -- President Obama feels much the same way.

As much as we all would like for things to be different, President Obama can't rip up the Constitution to make everyone happy.

the longer that he's out of office and the longer that Trump has time to make a mess, his popularity will gradually continue to increase. A few decades from now, some of the people who raked him over coals today and yesterday will be singing his praises.
