So FORMER President Barry Hussein Soetoro (Barak Obama), who would be best served playing golf, has spoken out against the current President Trump. First, why does anyone care. I respect the office of the President, but once you are out of office, you are a nobody. I think that only the media cares about what Obama has to say at this point. I know that most former Presidents eventually speak to the press or make some other formal statement, but within 10 days of leaving the White House? Really? Talk about ego.
There was documentary after documentary in the final days and weeks of the Obama Presidency touting his legacy. You know what Obama's real legacy is? The fact that Trump is President. The election of Trump is a referendum on Obama's policies. The reality is that while we cannot keep a former President from speaking his mind, I don't know a single person that is interested in what Obama's opinion on anything is at this point in time.
If a former President is going to open his mouth, shouldn't be in a manner that attempts to unite the people instead of divide them? Honestly, I don't really care that Obama has spoken up. If not for being a politics junkie, I wouldn't have even paid any attention, which is where I think the majority of people are on this issue. They just don't care. My point is simply that with a divided country, clearly more divided than it was eight years ago, we need to find excuses to unite not divide.
Imagine the influence a former President could have by simply edifying the system, the election and the new President regardless of their personal opinions on politics. In lieu of this type of support, maybe playing golf is the better option. For now, lets just plan on Obama trying to get involved in the political arena again. How this will play out, I don't know but I would be just fine if he stayed home.
Spring is coming,
Geoff
