OTOH, W is painting crappy pictures of the people that got wounded in his terrible war, Bush Classic groped women, and Reagan descended (further) into Alzheimer’s.

Right. That attitude right there got us into this nightmare. Those damn purity test azzholes.

The timing of this article is magnificent. Trump announces he’s abandoning the separation of the DoJ from political pressure to go after a phantom FBI infiltration by Obama’s administration. The absolute best thing Obama can do in this situation is to be *disconnected* from his political fights as President. If he…

Yup. Obama is still being used as a bogeyman of the Republican party. They still are trying to dismantle his legacy.

Exactly. FWIW I think this is a troll article, but Obama should not be front and center for the reason you state. AND because the Dems need to stop being lazy and find/create new exciting leadership. They can’t use Obama as a crutch forever.

Yeah, like...I can imagine that having most of your legislative agenda and legacy dismantled, piece-by-piece, by an utter fucking buffoon would leave a bad taste in one’s mouth.

ABANDON HIS PUBLIC?

Leading the opposition to Trump and his policies is the last thing Obama should be doing.

Working on getting the Obama Foundation and presidential library seems like a good use of his time to me. Also that time off? Well earned. I hope he and his family enjoyed every second of it.

We didn’t deserve him the first time, Hamilton. We don’t deserve him now. Clearly Trump, and the trump voters have showed us this.

It would appear that Obama must continue to play the “Magical Negro” role until white liberals are satisfied with his overall performance.

He only had the most stressful job in the fucking world for eight fucking years. He’s a fucking private fucking citizen and can do whatever the fuck he wants.

I would have a hard time keeping a straight face. Plus, my moral compass would continually interfere.

My friend and I have long joked that if our chosen careers ever peter out, our fallback plan is to become conservative pundits, because it’d be so goddam easy.

“Sure, the conservative media has solid opinion writers and deep-thinking essayists by the handful. And within that hand are diverse opinions,”

I think the Celtics this year can beat the Cavs. It will be tough and they probably won’t BUT...The Cavs still play really shitty defense. The Celtics will be able to score on them. Especially in the paint. They will just have to win a shootout with Lebron.

I would say that what they’ve done is turn their young players, who were mostly supposed to be backups, into stars. Tatum and Rozier have been excellent throughout the whole playoffs.

The Celtics would focus on stopping the other four Cavs on the court, LeBron would put up 45-15-8 and lose in 6 while everyone goes full doublethink on his performance.

Is what’s left of the Celtics perhaps better than we’ve been giving them credit for? Would they actually give us an entertaining series against Cleveland?
