Obama, you need to come home (NYDN)
Barack Obama needs to come back from his vacation. Michelle, too. We need a voice for the majority of Americans who did not vote for Donald Trump.
Democrats and progressives are frantic about Trump's steady stream of executive orders violating the human and civil rights of people firmly established by law and the U.S. Constitution.
Arrogantly some pundits are asking people expressing their outrage "why are you surprised?" "He's doing what he said he would do."
No one is surprised that he is doing what he said he would do. We are surprised he is getting away with it so easily. The checks and balances we've read about since middle school need to kick in and kick in fast. Thankfully, the much-maligned ACLU convinced a federal judge to block Trump's immigration executive order — for now anyway.

Obama Wastes Little Time In Condemning Republicans For Repeal and Replace On Obamacare
Repealing Obamacare without a replacement is “reckless” and “irresponsible,” and would leave the country “with more uninsured and uncompensated care than when we started,” writes former President Barack Obama.
In the commentary published Jan. 26 in the New England Journal of Medicine, one week after the inauguration of Donald Trump, Obama makes good on the pledge in his farewell news conference to speak out “where I think our core values may be at stake."
“What the past 8 years have taught us is that health care reform requires an evidence-based, careful approach, driven by what is best for the American people,” Obama writes. “That is why Republicans’ plan to repeal the ACA with no plan to replace and improve it is so reckless.”
He goes on to note that the Affordable Care Act has enabled a greater share of Americans to have health insurance than ever before. And he focuses on some issues that have not been widely discussed in Washington, D.C., but are of interest to the doctors and others who read the New England Journal of Medicine. He notes that the ACA changed payment terms to reward health care providers for delivering high-quality care, “rather than just a high quantity of care.” The law has also slowed the growth in health care costs to a fraction of what they were before, he writes, while improving the quality of care.
