Obama has been traipsing around Africa and dancing at Jay Z concerts promoting the "thug life"...now comes out of hiding to give a paid speech. Praises his buddy Rahm Emmanuel for doing a great job as mayor in ChiRaq? What a disgrace & people see the truthhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os7kmpCzkrg …

Thanks for tweeting out Obama’s speech. Every time I get mad at Trump, you remind me of why I have to vote for Red. It’s either Kaepernick or law and order. It’s either abolish ICE or defend our borders. Its either the ruling class or the working class.

My God I miss this man and I'm British. Please get out and vote America and vote BLUE. RepubliKKKlans will enrich themselves whilst watching the country around them dwindle and die. Dont let Donald fucking Trump be your downfall, christ we're trying not to let Brexit be ours.

A reminder of what a President should sound like speaking from the heart as an American and NOT as an egotistical mafia head!
