Obama Slowly Creeps Back Into the Political Spotlight

Former president Barack Obama is slowly finding his way back into the political spotlight after taking a couple of months off to gallivant around with his liberal billionaire friends. After maintaining radio silence for the first leg of the Trump presidency, Obama has been back out on the speaking circuit…and attracting some unexpected criticism from his fellow Democrats.
Part of that criticism has come from Obama’s much-publicized speaking fees; he’s accepted a couple of $400,000 gigs from Wall Street banks, much to the chagrin of people who still labored under the illusion that he was a “man of the people.” For those high-priced appearances, Obama has been chided by the progressive wing of the party, i.e., Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Other than that snag in the carpet, however, Obama has continued to enjoy a certain amount of popularity in liberal circles. He accepted a Profile in Courage award from the Kennedys last weekend, where he encouraged Democrats to demonstrate their own “courage” when it came to facing down the repeal and replacement of Obamacare.
He also recorded an endorsement for French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron in the days before he went up against right-wing populist Marine Le Pen, in whom many saw parallels with Donald Trump.
But as for the subject of Trump himself, Obama has remained largely silent. While he’s hinted at the administration and the Republican Party’s agenda in his speeches, he has scarcely mentioned the president by name. Whether that’s because he wants to avoid getting into a dramatic war with Trump or because he wants to leave “the resistance” to up-and-coming Democrats, one cannot know. Perhaps he’s just saving the drama for when his book comes out.
One thing is certain: the drama IS coming. There’s no doubt about it. Obama is too arrogant and too obsessed with his own popularity to simply let Trump destroy his legacy without saying something about it. If he can hold his tongue through the end of summer, it will be a miracle. Our best bet is that he’ll be taking direct shots at Trump before Independence Day.
And Trump, who loves nothing more than a good old fashioned war of words, will no doubt be happy to respond in kind.

You seem to be the one who misses Obama. He gave one 400K speech, then donated 2 million for summer jobs for kids. Trump only knows a few words, he would be unarmed in a war of words with anyone over 9 years old.

I hope Obama is able to stop the refilling of the swamp in Washington. It was great when he left and he is one who can put it back in order.

Obama is not a lover of the lurid, prevaricating, neurotic or tasteless. So what could Trump possibly offer?

If Trump isn't impeached soon, he'll do decent people a gigantic favor: bring the Repugnican party to its knees.
You go boy.

I am worried that he in his ignorance will give the keys to Russia.

I think he's too feckless even to screw up.
He's already brought Nunes, Sessions, Comey, Flynn, Ryan (in serious trouble; I live in his district. Last time he was in Milwaukee, he snuck in and left quickly), Conway, Pence, and his daughter low.
Sure Putin was playing him like a kazoo, but Putin isn't going to touch him now. He's toxic.

I think you are right, but I think Putin has videos of him doing some very kinky sexual stuff and Trump will never be able to quit him. Putin owns Trump.

Those who are paying attention would give most everything to have Obama back. Obama will go down in history as one of our greatest presidents. Trump will not make it through his first term.

Putin has some very nasty stuff on Trump and Trump will continue to do what he is told to do.

Trump's narcissism makes him hard to manipulate, and it's getting politically risky to associate with him. I believe (hope) Putin sees that, and concludes the Orange Menace is a waste of time.

Just like a dose of the clap --- some diseases just don't go away until you amputate the source.........

Trust me. The good patriots of Virginia don't even speak that worthless, traitorous, commie bastard's name any more -- unless talking about past crooks in history.
Goooooo Trump!!!!!!
