Well, I wish it would hurry up!

Let's give it a little more time.

That could take a while.

This was most certainly a profoundly humiliating moment from which he has never recovered. And it only gets worse over time as the reality gap between Obama and his Presidential record widens.

I would think Obama would relish the opportunity to testify in front of the Senate and he will again humiliate Trump's disastrous handling of this country's stewardship while in Office.

And then, it will be Trump's turn in the well....

I often wonder what would have happened if Obama hadn't roasted him.

It was endlessly delicious and entertaining but with, with a pretty high degree of certainty, sweet revenge that has had terrible consequences.

Personally, I think he (Obama) may have gone too far. I would have preferred to have seen Trump handed a measured level of scorn rather than abject humiliation.

Or he could have taken the high road like John Kerry. I doubt anything would be different today regardless of the roads not taken.

know it is! He has no sense of humor so he doesn't have to ability to laugh at himself.

I remember reading somewhere that he originally wanted to run as a Democrat...but was rebuffed by the party. So he switched to Republican. I forget which book, but Steve Bannon and someone else met Trump prior to the 2008 election on the possibility of entering the race. Bannon told him not a chance, he had to reshape his image first, as it was well known he donated heavily to Democrats.

And that's what he did for eight years, cut of donations to Democrats and sends it instead to Republicans, jumps on the birtherism train, etc.

…...just to piss Trump off

He'll go berserk overnight

Now I'm wondering if Dear Leader will have to have his own show which will be longer than O's and feature twice as many "celebrities." That would be inspirational.

Cuz he will do *anything* to take attention away from President Obama. Too bad some group that does videos that get shown on building fronts can’t display Pres Obama’s screen tIme on front of Trump’s Washington Hotel...I’d say the WH itself but that would get shut down pretty quick.

If he doesn't either stroke out or someone finds a tranquilizer dart gun and uses it on him.

I have not heard that Obama was speaking tonight and a quick search doesn't turn anything up. Would you mind terribly filling me in? I only have broadcast television, any chance it's to be found there?

Thank you.

On NBC or MSNBC, I believe.

I'm not sure about the time.

I'll try not to miss it.

....5 CNN, 8 for the various broadcast networks.

Probably lasting well into the morning and well into tomorrow. He is going to go ballistic. I hope he strokes out.

than Obama, or he is just plain racist (he isn't better and he is racist).

All trump has done is prove that he's a rabid racist and grossly incompetent.

Furthermore, he's proving just how magnificent President Obama was, as one of the best presidents we've ever had in recent times.

I guess when one has to work for a living (vs. a racist one w/ a tarnished spoon in his mouth), it makes a world of difference in how you approach doing things, how you handle people, etc.

Talk about unintended consequences!

Through his own incompetence, Drump is reminding people of what we had in Obama. Of course President Obama doesn't need any help in boosting his popularity or the memory of his presidency, but dRump is doing just that.

Did anyone see that, it needs to be posted again and shared!

I can't find the exact image but I did find these;

at that Correspondents Dinner after the ridiculous birtherism garbage. Everyone makes even more fun of trump now and it doesn't seem to bother him the way it did with President Obama.

He never realized that he would care, either, until it was too late.

Every president leaves a legacy, something which he is remembered by.

Some are decidedly mixed, (LBJ would be a glaring example). Some are mostly positive (Clinton), some are mostly negative (Cheney dba Bush II). Some are larger than life (FDR). Some are downright disgraces (Harding). Some are those rare presidencies where the accomplishments were substantial without being flashy or spectacular in the Hollywood sense. Obama's was one such presidency. He saved the economy even as McTurtle tried to prevent it--not because McTurtle thought he had a better plan, but because he didn't want OBAMA to be the one who saved it (hey Mitchie? If you didn't want Obama to save the economy, you shouldn't have helped Cheney fuck it up to the point where it needed saving!!). Obama got the ACA passed. Obama got Bin Laden. Obama kept the USA on an even keel, both economy-wise and foreign-policy-wise. Despite the obvious setbacks, the world nevertheless looked up to Obama's USA as a power to be respected, and to Obama personally as a leader who had the gravitas, intelligence, and awareness of the world to lead such a nation. Born into a situation which traditionally dictated that such a man would NEVER have the chance to ascend to the presidency, he commanded respect from abroad not because he overcame those long odds, but also because he never made a big "lookit me!" deal over having done it. A simple "yes, we can" was enough of a message.

I think two things have been dawning on Trump in the last few months. One is the strong likelihood that he will be a one-term president. The other is that his legacy will be one of disorganization, incompetence, arrogance, institutionalized corruption, and--worst of all for him--there is NOTHING HE CAN DO TO CHANGE THAT. No money, no threats, no comments on Fox Noise by Hannity will ever change the fact that HISTORY, that one unforgiving perspective, will condemn him as an uncaring charlatan who was quite simply out of place. He was no more suited to be president than he was to be the high priest at a Buddhist monastery. That in itself doesn't bother him. That 6 out of 7 billion OTHER people know it, too--THAT will bother him until the end of his days.

" He was no more suited to be president than he was to be the high priest at a Buddhist monastery. That in itself doesn't bother him. That 6 out of 7 billion OTHER people know it, too--THAT will bother him until the end of his days."

So that he may suffer no more, can it be possible for the "end of his days" to happen sooner rather than later?

to be severely beaten with the "Obama stick." Comparing the failures with the Trump administration to the successes of the Obama administration will drive him over the edge. Perhaps, late in the campaign, Obama will begin to attack the lies of the present administration and its leader. A calm, smiling Obama blowing apart Trump's lies would surely fall sweetly upon my ears.

Trump lives in mortal fear that he will be historically bested by his black predecessor; it is the wages of racism.

I would love to see a good old fashioned frothing at the mouth, rug chewing breakdown by the Commander in Chief, and Obama has the power to bring it on. There is anecdotal evidence that Trump's hero did that, and I am certain that the Lincoln Project could get some mileage from the film footage:

‘During the Sudeten crisis the first signs of madness of the Führer were revealed. In those days, the mere mention of Beneš and the Czechs made him so livid he would lose his self-control completely. People have witnessed him throwing himself to the floor and chewing the carpet out of sheer anger. Those fits of madness gave him the nickname Teppichfresser (carpet-eater) among his enemies. I do not know whether he made a habit of chewing the carpets when he completely lost his temper, or whether the symptom disappeared after the Munich agreement.[*]

Thanks for that image....LOLOL

I knew he started to lose it at the end, but I had no idea it reached such levels. That is seriously some effed up behavior. I suspect we don't even know the worst of Trump's tantrums yet and it won't come out for many years.

One thing I would like to see would be a breakdown on this level in public so that even his staunchest defenders could not deny that he was completely mad and incapable of functioning in an executive role.

the recent flareup may have been flamed by obama but recently before that limbaugh started attacking obama again especially in terms of restarting calling obama the deep state fbi coup leader - which has been going since inauguration as if the russians were back then crafting a defensive narrative. since barr 'exhonoraated' flynn limbaugh has ben calling it proof and that he had the facts to prove it, etc. and has even gone after michelle.

limbaugh feeds, backs up, and is well coordinated with the white house and it is truly aa huge mistake that democrats collectively and individually who want to get obama's back continue to give rw radio a free speech free ride

especially considering all the evidence suggesting putin has been using limbaugh and talk radio since at least 2008.

Being born on third and thinks he hit a triple, but more over he’s pissed that people aren’t slapping him on the back for “hitting” that triple. Then he gets pissed off when some actually does hit a teiple and gets all the accolades

When they look at me, they see what they are." - Anthony Hopkins as Richard Nixon, addressing the portrait of JFK, in an apocryphal scene from Oliver Stone's 'Nixon.' Of course, in Trump's case, it's unlikely he is even CAPABLE of reflection on the psychology of his Cult!

he's not even capable of ANY reflection!

And WELCOME to DU! I like the way you speak!

And thank you for the greeting.

trump has penis envy

"What did the president know...?". Monumentally more about any subject than you, roofer boy!
" ...when did he know it?". He knew more about everything your entire miserable life, punk!

he.is hearing sht and he must blame someone else.
He is a child.

Barack Obama is going to be the on every national TV network tonight, and not that syphilitic, orange bag of manbaby pus. I expect we'll get an epic Twitter tantrum in response.

his nasty assface self onto him.

No matter what he does or who he screw - he will never know the undying love of hundreds of millions or world citizens.
