“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

President Obama is like a cool spring in the desert. How I’ve missed this intelligent and graceful man. This is a President.

The MSM worships Obama. They say that Republicans are cult like? Take a good look in the mirror liberals. You never once question a single thing this man said or did even while the middle east was on fire and the economy was stalled at below 2% GDP growth. Pathetic.

Here we have an outspoken, bitter ex-president breaking from the convention of staying on the sidelines after leaving the White House. Why? Because the current president is dismantling his legacy. Obama pretends like he has class but he has none. He is a small man for doing this.

Wish to know some of these ideals. Did they include some policies America has been run with so far? I only heard of the founding fathers and earliest presidents being godly as the Constitution itself derived from the Bible, making America "God's own country".
