Please okie don, you're from Oklahoma quit showing your ignorance. Cut your fellow Oklahomans some slack and quit embarrassing them. It seems on one hand you denounce Communism when it involves Democrats, according to you, but on the other hand you support the current Communist, in the White House, Comrade Trump. His man love for Putin borders on treason. Is it who supports Communism that determines if you're a pro Communist or not? So if Hillary supports Communism, in your mind, it is the worst thing that could happen to the U.S. However, if Comrade Trump supports Communism then that is perfectly acceptable. You're either extremely ignorant or you're simply a lackey for the Communist Party.

What is he doing to make us safe. And what actually makes you think we were not safe before Trump got in Office. What is he keeping us safe from you may as well put the White House beside the Kremlin.

Grow up you're repeating fake news again. You are proving everyday that what the Russian did has worked. So stop that foolish talk

Obama, was doing the same foolishness of Germany,France,Sweden and so on...but only a Obama worshiper is too blindly ignorant to see the same terroristic actions would happen right here in the United States...even Angela Merkel of Germany admitted the "refugee's" are more of a problem than anticipated...but Obama the "TRAITOR" was building a muslim army with the guidance of the muslim brotherhood...."his people"...and the Kremlin had nothing to do with that...they were too busy with Clinton and the uranium deal with Canadian mining interests ...
Now go and kneel on your Obama prayer rug...point your ass toward mecca and chant fervently for your messiah to come clean...live by the lie...die by the lie..and we can all hear the groaning and crying of the dying breed...called the liberal progressives ..."how sweet it is"...

All the criticism of my President is making me nauseous, so thank you for your enlightened post.

Carol Kelly

Oh my gosh!! That was great! Obama seems to be following Trump around Europe now, being ever critical of someone who did
more in five months than he did in eight years.

Obama to join Merkel at Germany's Brandenburg Gate

By Stephen Collinson, CNN

Updated 10:08 AM ET, Mon May 22, 2017

(CNN)Former President Barack Obama will sit side-by-side with German Chancellor Angela Merkel Thursday in the first event of what will eventually become his worldwide program to inspire young people to create change.
Obama will join Merkel at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin to highlight his foundation's new global effort to inspire and support young people active in narrowing inequality, combating climate change, working on public health, empowering women and girls and boosting young entrepreneurs.
"He and Mrs. Obama have been pretty clear that the foundation will have a global reach. They want to be really involved in programing throughout the world," an Obama Foundation official said.


The program will draw on Obama's own heritage as a grassroots organizer who built a campaign from the bottom up and eventually created a political movement with his 2008 election victory. Obama also held events during almost every foreign tour he made as President, talking to young people about their aspirations and ideas. But his new venture won't be confined to politics.
"When they're talking about young leaders they are not just talking about politicians, they are talking about who is the person, let's say, in the Brazilian rainforest who is working on really amazing renewable energy ideas," the foundation official said.
"They just need a little bit of a bump and they could be a game changer. How do we connect them with someone in Borneo working on the same thing that could benefit from the knowledge of the person working in the Brazilian rainforest?"
On Thursday, Obama and Merkel will have a conversation titled "Being Involved in Democracy: Taking on Responsibility Locally and Globally," stressing the role of faith-based organizations at the congress of the German Evangelical Protestant church which takes place every two years.
Obama's appearance in Germany will coincide with President Donald Trump's first trip to Europe and will inevitably promote comparisons about their relative popularity across the Atlantic and their policies.
But the Obama Foundation official said Merkel extended the invitation to Obama last spring, well before Trump was elected and made his own plans to attend the NATO summit in Brussels and the G7 summit in Sicily.

Obama has no plans to discuss politics or his successor's presidency and is hoping to focus on his foundation's goals, the aide said.
Obama and Merkel forged a close friendship during his presidency, as she wrestled with issues like the European financial crisis and Russia's annexation of Crimea as Europe's most powerful political leader.
The German Chancellor is running for her fourth term in September and Trump is the third US President she has encountered after first taking office during George W. Bush's administration.
Obama, in one of his first major post-presidential appearances, said he had been impressed with the sharp, astute and tolerant nature of young people he met on his travels.
"Are there ways in which we can knock down some of the barriers that are discouraging young people about a life of service? And if there are, I want to work with them to knock down those barriers," he said in April at the University of Chicago.
His foundation will look for ways to partner with local organizations working in areas like faith-based programs, academia, government and civil society.
Thursday's event will also feature four young people -- two Germans and two Americans -- who epitomize his focus on local organizing and community work.
They include Sierra Sims, a teacher, and Imani Abernathy, an actor, both from the South Side of Chicago. The Germans are social worker Filiz Kuyucu and student Benedikt Wichtlhuber from Mannheim.
Sims said in an audio interview released by the foundation that she used to play teacher as a girl and wonder if her dream of becoming one would ever be realized because of the opposition she faced in her community growing up.
"Now I get to nurture the seventh- and eight-graders who have those kinds of goals and aspirations. It is just life coming back around, full circle," she said.

Why don't you STFU! Obama needs a bullet...same as you.

They love Obama and barely tolerate trump. Just like most of the world.

BERLIN (AP) — Barack Obama received a rock-star welcome in Berlin as he appeared at a public debate Thursday with Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom he praised as one of his "favorite partners" during his presidency.
Security was tight in front of the German capital's Brandenburg Gate, where the former U.S. president and Merkel appeared on a podium before tens of thousands of people attending a gathering marking the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. All visitors had their bags searched, police helicopters patrolled the skies and snipers with balaclavas watched the scene from nearby rooftops.

At the beginning of their discussion, Obama praised Merkel to the excited cheers of a crowd of young Protestants, who had traveled from all over Germany and beyond to attend the religious gathering.
"Not only do I love this city, but one of my favorite partners throughout my presidency is sitting next to me," Obama said with a big smile. Merkel smiled right back at him.
"Chancellor Merkel has done outstanding work, not just here in Germany, but around the world," Obama said.
After lauding Merkel, he launched a defense of his own presidency and the values of liberal democracy championed by both leaders.

Citing the rise of nationalism and xenophobia in parts of the world, Obama told the crowd that "we have to push back against those trends that would violate human rights or suppress democracy or restrict individual freedoms."
In a veiled reference to his successor Donald Trump, who has proposed to cut support for diplomacy and international aid by nearly a third, Obama said those programs are essential aspects of national security policy.

"We can't isolate ourselves. We can't hide behind a wall," he said, to cheers from the audience.
The former president and the chancellor, who grew up in a pastor's household in East Germany, chatted about their faith and called on the youth to commit to helping make the world a better place — while keeping in mind that changes don't come quickly from one day to the next.
Referring to the terror attack in England just days ago, Obama said that he and the chancellor were "heartbroken about the loss of life ... and that it's a reminder that there is great danger and terrorism and people who want to do great harm to others just because they're different."

Despite describing the world as "a very complicated place," Obama and Merkel still found time to joke with each other and made the crowd laugh several times. The harmony and ease between the two leaders was a stark contrast to Merkel's meeting with Trump in Washington in March, when the U.S. president appeared to refuse to shake Merkel's hand in front of reporters. Trump has said he didn't hear a reporter calling for a handshake.
Merkel, who hosted Obama at the same spot four years ago, was due to travel to Brussels later Thursday for a meeting with Trump and leader of other NATO-member states.

Moldy, c,mon dude...you have to know if you got past kindergarten that, that's pure bullshit.

Of course Obama received a "rock star" welcome from Merkel supporters. They are all lovers of and apologists for radical Muslims.
