    So the Obamas are donating $2 million to a summer jobs program in Chicago, now we know where the $400 grand went from the Wall Street speech.

        We know Trumputin and REXXON want to pulverise the State Department and cop out on U.S. values and ethics around the world.
        Their version of ‘anti-globalism’ is anti-concern for the planet and squeezing those who live on it.
        No ethics. Heck EXXON is a sovereign nation that answers to no person or nation.

    I was able to catch a portion of PBO’s presentation of the design plans for the Presidential Center. I like that, even though their team tried to address all the potential issues associated with building this center, they are also taking the time to get input from the community…the people who will be most affected.

    I especially like that the center will be more than just a “shrine”; an ornament. It will be functional and useful — especially in training, providing resources and creating opportunities for young people.

    You do YOU, Obamas!!!

    Oh. my. Gawd… A President who speaks using complete sentences with a vocabulary that’s sophisticated yet understandable.
    No ‘unintelligible’ with our guy. And beyond that we see and hear a visionary individual who really CARES about people and doing
    whatever he can to empower and include. What a shift from the ‘it’s all about me’ idiot puppet currently invading the Whitehouse.
    I am now experiencing whiplash.
    The livestream was simply wonderful. He had my complete attention from beginning to end. This vision that Potus44 and Flotus44
    is unveiling is a masterpiece that will enhance the lives of the people both in the USA and the rest of the world. Oh, btw, that
    $2million donation towards creating summer jobs for the young people brought tears and choked me up a bit. My daughter works
    in a non-profit organization in Chicago which deals with helping disadvantaged youth so I am quite familiar with this great need that
    exists there, so was very touched by PBO and Flotus’ generosity. May God continue to bless them both..our FOREVER Potus and Flotus.

    PS.. At least we can clearly see where the much talked about $400k speaking fees are going.

        How much of an ego do you have to have in order to step out and criticize Barack Obama. I mean, really. Ever since I first came into contact with him as a person, it’s been one long journey of innovation and excitement. And getting the job done, always.

        Not one of these naysayers can hold a candle to PBO. Not ever. Never.

    I am not surprised that they are now considering reviving PBO’s TPP;

    I remember predicted this and writing here that they would find a way of taking PBO’s name off the TPP and putting the homegrown demagogue’s name on it;

    my argument at the time was that the significant support of TPP by US businesses with a global reach & seeking a bigger say in that fast-growing would be hard to ignore by this gop;

    if you followed the money and their hate for PBO, you could see this coming a mile away as this sequence of events:

    …. PBO and his team do all the preparation and heavy lifting and bring countries together each understanding they stand to benefit from TPP;

    …. then Team Traitor makes a big show of cancelling TPP;

    ….. lobbyist of big business come to the demagogue and tell him how he would benefit personally and US companies;

    …. Team Traitor just dusts PBO’s TPP off, puts a new cover, adds the scumbags name and then touts it as “the best negotiation for business that the world has ever seen”;

    …… the stuff that will be missing from the final negotiations will be the labour and environmental standards that PBO fought to include;

    …. so once again the hysterical but loud obnoxious few on the left miss out on the things the opportunity to global promote & set standard for they value because they “wanted a revolution”;

    a couple of things to note from Dr. Susan Rice’s letter in which he informs the senate that she will not testify:

    - her attorney, Ms. Kathyrn Ruemmler, used to be the White House Counsel to President Barack Obama … you remember her??

    - she admits that the Russia scandal is very important and needs to be investigated with a high level of seriousness;

    - objecting because she notes that:

    (a) this request should have been made in a bi-partisan letter - only hateful lindsay graham (who has already spoken out venom against her) with made the request;

    (b) should be in closed session because of the nature of the classified info she needs to discuss;

    (c) ought to include an independent prosecutor;

    so your move, lindsay graham???

    ps: remember the tape of graham when Dr. Susan Rice was first mentioned in this attempt to distract;

    Greetings from south suburban Chicago. Barack is family. He and my lawyer brother (UC law grad) have been friends for years. So we are so excited about what’s coming. I had a one on one conversation with him at my job in 2004 before he was elected to the senate. Now, one of the best memories of my life. Ladies - his charisma is breathtaking in person. That voice, his natural cool, what a combo! Sorry Michelle. Obamabot for life!

    Anyway, I hate posting anything from DNAInfo since it was founded by that racist Joe Ricketts. But I thought you all would enjoy reading a more detailed account of the center with local flavor. Enjoy!

    I couldn’t turn the channel fast enough to NOT hear on CNN earlier that Ivanka Trump is now moaning that during the election, she had to “give up massages and meditating.”

    Now, many people get massages and meditate, but she has no clue how tone deaf she is … bringing this up now that she’s in this “role” and thereby acknowledging she cannot have empathy for all those who must do “without” her little comforts of life on a regular basis.

    Truthfully, I cannot stomach anything about her.
