I think President Obama is doing the right thing. Ignore the Bullshitter in the room.

[spanone]

I'm sure President Obama will pick just the right time and just the right setting

to make a point. I can't wait.

[BeyondGeography]

1. Should be one helluva book

[spanone]

2. no kidding. i can't imagine

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Trump wants to goad Obama into a defensive stance and to use that

façade to divert attention from his string of failures since he took the Oath of Office.

[Cha]

10. Exactly.. President Obama isn't going to take

his stupid bait.. like ol cheato brain would do.

[mcar]

4. No point in making himself the story

[malaise]

5. Let the Con self destruct on his own

He's doing a great job :fistbunp:

[spanone]

6. Amen!

it just makes trump look as petty as he truly is.

[HipChick]

7. I half want him to troll Drumpf..

and post pics of all his glorious vacation spots....

[spanone]

8. know what you mean.

i'd love to see it too.

but then your playing trumps game....fughim 😎

9. I strongly believe that Obama KNOWS how this mess will ultimately end. I also

believe that trump KNOWS that Obama knows... and why he's trying so hard to delegitimize him in the meantime. You can bet that Obama has friends in the so-called deep state. One of Obama's greatest virtues is patience and I suspect he's just biding his time, enjoying his time off, for as long as it takes, while the inevitable shit is hurtling toward the fan.

[Cha]

11. "One of Obama's greatest virtues is patience.."..

Yes.. And, greatest strengths. The opposite of drumpf.. who has less than zero.

Thank you for that, lamp_shade!

12. Mahalo, Cha. Spanone is right... Obama is doing the right thing.

He's playing multi-dimensional chess while trump is playing "go fish".

[Cha]

13. lol.. always with the multi-dimensional chess..

which some on here use to mock 'cause they had no clue.

lol.. Go fish.. that's apt for trump's mentality.



Yes, spanone is righto!

[oberliner]

14. Completely disagree

He should be speaking out forcefully and constantly against the horrors of the Trump administration. Our country depends on it.

[Ezior]

15. I agree, this is the best way to handle this

It's also a technique Merkel likes to use when "bad actors" in her own sister party, the opposition or elsewhere come up with BS. Like when Erdogan called all (modern-day) Germans Nazis. It would benefit nobody to reply "No, we're not all Nazis", because everyone already knows about that and it would give Erdogan (or Trump, in Obama's case) more reason to go on and on. Sometimes it's hard to take the silence though.

16. Damn, I miss Obama .. most of the world does, too.
