Donald AnusMouth will NEVER comprehend the power of empathy and caring for your fellow man. It is simply beyond the grasp of the "stable genius".

He merely paused and let the audience infer what they wished.

The man is a master of subtle profundity.

King con, as much as he hates President Obama, will never be close to his equal in any manner. King con is programmed for failure.

Of course I can't watch Obama speak without choking up

do you think the republicans sitting there listening to a great man speak with eloquence, intelligence, and even humor, thought for one minute that their current president is a disgrace in every sense of the word?

Immediately after, media showed trump, face red and distorted, screaming beneath the sounds of helicopter blades, about what a disgrace was so unfairly brought down upon him by the intelligence community.

JFC, can't they see the difference between what a president is and was, and what a monster we now have? Can they see it, even if they don't speak it? I wonder.

They are repugs because they don't grasp the concept of empathy for others, let alone its strength.

I believe it has to cross the minds of at least some of them.

and grace - no-one does it better.

We are going to hear about this. Over and over and over.

I love Obama as a man. He is just the best man I have ever known. I love to hear him speak. And he was wonderful today.

And boy is Trump going to be pissed.

And rose to their feet!

He was a corrupt businessman, an even more corrupt president, and overall a disgusting, dishonorable, lying racist pig.

corrupt businessman, an even more corrupt president, and overall disgusting, dishonorable, lying RAPING racist pig.

The loss of Mr. Cummings and a reminder of how much I miss President Obama.

Stark contrast to the virtue-lacking Trump. He referenced the seed/soil parable and could have gone into excoriating detail about the soil that yielded only thorns and briers...I would've love to have heard what character briers look like!

But it is being been sorely tested. It’s up to us.

looks to us. The world can no longer depend on us--except for the petty tyrants, criminals, and dictators that thing currently infesting the White House so longs to emulate. This country has fallen in my eyes. I was never so disappointed in my fellow citizens as I was when I woke up on the morning of November 9, 2016. The most important thing now is do we have the will to rise again? I certainly hope so. I will do my best to help.

It is up to us.

Unless the Senate does what it should, America has permanently lost its way.

we show respectful humility towards the world. When we participate as an equal and not as the military superpower, no matter how benign, that we’ve been since WWII.

I would love to see us use our resources to lead in science, medicine, climate husbandry and the active pursuit of peace. I would love to see our government have a Peace Department actively promoting peace as an objective.

All we need to do is live up to our potential, to all the things we say we stand for only for real. Put more emphasis on things like the Peace Corps. We have all the ideas and the means and the the will.

I look forward to the day when the United States regains respect in the world. Not fear, respect. Hope it happens within my lifetime.

"Honorable, compassionate, kind, patriotic, integrity, respectful". A list of lofty virtues is now considered offensive to devotees of Trump, because THEY KNOW full well Trump is the opposite of all of these things.

Perhaps President Obama was taking a shot at Trump, but I really do not think so, at least not intentionally. I do think that President Obama was taking a shot at the fake "honor" that is bestowed on people JUST because they ascend to office.

I will make the comparison between Cummings, Obama, Trump, and McConnell (who was quite publicly snubbed today).

Cummings was born to sharecropper parents, worked as a youth to integrate swimming pools in his native Baltimore, studied and practiced law prior to entering public service. He spent his life protecting the weak and advocating for change in society.

President Obama, born middle class but raised by a single mother and his grandparents. Went to college, became a community organizer then a law professor. President Obama spent his life helping others and trying to shape future leaders in the intricacies of the Constitution.

Trump: Born wealthy, history of conduct disorder. Sent to military school as incorrigible. Avoided military service. Spent entire life trying to enrich himself and partying.

McConnell: born to prominent family. went to law school. joined reserves to avoid combat in Vietnam while still claiming military service. Was only in reserves for a few months and failed medical, but somehow, he was "honorably discharged". Spent entire career in politics back dealing to pork barrel his state and stay in office.

All 4 have the title "honorable" as do others who do not deserve it.

That is what President Obama was talking about.

I didn't see him there, but I wasn't able to watch the entire event.

How did we go from Obama to Trump? Did Doc Brown do something with the flex capacitor and set us on some kind of alternate path?

First cousin to the Trumps.

I feel like I am in a never-ending episode of The Twilight Zone. It's all just too bizarre for me to make any sense of.

I would give anything to have Obama back again.

... but when Obama turned out to be one of the Great Presidents of U.S.A. History they completely lost their shit.

"He pushed back against the abuse of power", she said.

I was watching a 50 year old black and white movie
and on the credits it said: "Members of NRA we do our part." It's a virus,something in the water.

He'd win the primaries and general election by landslides. The 22nd amendment should prohibit 3 consecutive terms, but if someone takes a term off and the public wants to bring them back, I wish it was allowed.

We could have avoided W if the Big Dog had been re-electable. We could have avoided Trump to keep Obama. We could have saved our environment and given Al Gore the support he needed to clean it up. We could have given our children and grand children a planet to inherit instead of the sludge and plastic world we are leaving them. Why the hell not get rid of the electoral college? It serves no purpose beyond giving one really fucked up corrupt party power over all of the rest of us. Yes we really do need to do this.

are both kind and honorable humans. We need many more like them.

Paul Wellstone's memorial and how the repubs, Trent Lott.. et al, were up in arms and accusing the Dems of "politicizing" it?!

Well damn straight.. Wellstone was Political! That pissed me off so much!

Good on Obama! and Hillary! Now it's like between patriots and traitors for god's sake!

Mahalo, catbyte

My husband said the difference between President Obama and trump is - the first one is a class act. The other one is a cracked ass.

...ass crack.
