        Former President Obama on why he declined to speak at University of Illinois' 2017 commencement: "The truth was, I was also intent on following a wise American tradition of ex- presidents gracefully exiting the political stage and making room for new voices and new ideas."pic.twitter.com/ocK8xgrej3

        "As a fellow citizen, not as an ex-president but as a citizen, I'm here to deliver simple message and that is that you need to vote because our democracy depends on it," former President Obama tells students in Illinois https://cbsn.ws/2NW6JsJ pic.twitter.com/GP8VSuFtRm

        "Now, some of you may think I am exaggerating when I say this election is more important than any I can remember in my lifetime," Obama says. "But just a glance at recent headlines should tell you that this moment really is different." https://cbsn.ws/2NW6JsJ pic.twitter.com/GAHQGMst9t

        "Each time we painstakingly pull ourselves closer to our founding ideas … somebody, somewhere has pushed back," Obama says. "It did not start with Donald Trump. He is a symptom, not the cause." https://cbsn.ws/2NW6JsJ pic.twitter.com/kPn7HTudqB

        “When there is a vacuum in our democracy, when we don't vote, when we take our basic rights and freedoms for granted …  then other voices fill the void. The politics of fear and resentment and entrenchment takes hold,” Obama says https://cbsn.ws/2NW6JsJ pic.twitter.com/GOP0Lz0Wzq

        "Neither party has been exclusively responsible for us going backwards instead of forwards," Obama says. "But over the past few decades, the politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the Republican party." https://cbsn.ws/2NW6JsJ pic.twitter.com/RTEy6TSW9a

        "They are not doing us a service by actively promoting 90% of the crazy stuff that is coming out of this White House and then saying, 'Don't worry. We are preventing the other 10%,'" former President Obama says, apparently referring to NYT op-ed https://cbsn.ws/2NW6JsJ pic.twitter.com/8nMXunXATF

        So he can give a speech . That’s the problem everyone gets so excited over speeches and words. Who cares. Actions . What was great about what he actually did? I mean was it ever really examined since the press did light journalism or took 8 years off. What did he do, not say ?

        @BarackObama is so dang charming. Why did he break up with us? We were so good together! He’s definitely the one that got away.
