An open letter to Barack Obama:
Mr. President, it is time. You must speak. Your country needs you.
Eleven summers ago, as you accepted the Democratic nomination for president, you announced: “Tonight, I say to the people of America, to Democrats and Republicans and independents across this great land: Enough. This moment — this election — is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive.”
Of course, we knew then that our nation had deep political differences, and would continue to. Only the most naive among us would have expected the election of the first African American president to come about with no backlash.
But would anyone have anticipated

It certainly does, so get back to Kenya where you belong.

My vote is give him a one-way ticket to Venezuela.
That way he can avoid the jail term (and we can avoid the continued cost to house him) for the abuse of the IRS, FBI and CIA that happened during his and Gropin' Joe's watch.

Enter the most racist, bigoted, untrustworthy individual politics has ever raised to high office - which is saying something, considering the example set by Bill Clinton.
Democrats love a liar. They think being able to lie and not be immediately punished is a mark of esteem and power for that individual...
....not a sign of tolerance on ours.
I'm kinda done tolerating...

We do not need the return of the fake messiah, Barack Hussein Obama, who caused so many of the problems that plague us today. The real Antichrist will come soon enough to usher in the calamaties of the last days.

Wow. There are still people around drinking the Obama Kool-Aid? Eight years of incompetence apparently wasn't enough.

Good grief, is Karen Tumulty still alive? She was one reporterette who tried singlehandedly to carry Barack Obama into the White House and keep him media-comfy while he was there.

Karen would have a rerun of the creep who spawned the Broad Squad. See the RNC video on their anarchy here:

Laughable. The man has one legacy ... open season on law enforcement. He was an extremely divisive president.

Ms. Tumulty asks Barack Obama to:
"Find your voice again.
That's all she needs - Obama's voice - not his words - someone else can write the words -
and then Barack can read them off the teleprompter.
I bet a lot of people in and around D.C. miss all the great parties they went to when Obama was in the White House " fundamentally transforming our country".
Thank God for term limits.

I completely understand and accept your perspective Karen. When your world exists sealed within the vocal radical minority bubble it is quite reasonable to see Obama as a uniter. He united the radical left while the radical left media praised him for it and ignored the alienation, ridicule ,slandering and fleecing of the majority of the country.
When all you measure is how the communist radicals feel about things, Obama was fantastic and Trump is horrible. I get it, I get you.
But make no mistake darling, you have poked the bear. Trump is simply the first grumbling growl of the awakened bear.

Tumulty has opened the window and allowed the sunshine to show the tragic state of her brain. But such as she have no shame.

Oh GAG ME!!! Just as many people disliked Obama as now do Trump. The difference is we did not eat - sleep - live and breathe our contempt 24/7. We lived our lives, stayed happy and waited for our chance again next election day.

Ms. Tumulty must be in the grip of a Psychotic Break!....The absolutely last thing this Country needs is for former President Obama to rear his ugly head! His speechwriter was good but Obama himself is AntiAmerica!
His first promise to this Country was to FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM THE UNITED STATES!....into something unrecognizable!

She is a great example of today's media supporting a man who attempted a coup d'etat against the U.S. President. What a disgrace!

Sorry WP. Nobody can save the left now. Especially not Obama considering he created this mess. The left hates America and Americans, and wants to destroy everything it stands for. People see it daily, and they won't put up with it.

Quick, somebody! Crank up the teleprompters, get Barry conscious!
We need him to whistle and ‘uh’ his way through a couple of speeches
loosely about racism and socialism — with himself as the theme, of course.

Again, the exact opposite of the truth. The most anti-American, divisive, lying, racist President this country has ever had was Obama. We need him back like we need a toothache.

Right. The Great Uniter.
And yet there are those on the Delusional Right who believe that civilized, open and honest debate with these people is possible.
I'm with Kurt Schlichter. It's hopeless.

Tumulty, just what your name implies, a lot of tumult in your brain box which is rather empty to begin with. No one on this planet wants to hear from that POS ever again!

Give us a break, the Democrat socialists are engaged in creating a politically based racial situation across the USA that is much worse, at least among the Democrat socialist classes, then anything that was going on racially at the time Obama was elected.
In fact that it was Obama who started that racially charged political ball rolling. Obama was there for eight years preaching his “hope and change” mantra. By now minority Americans should be able to figure out that with 99 cents and a pants load of Obama’s “hope and change” in their pockets, that they still did not have a dollar, but with the outstanding Trump economy resulting in more open jobs for the asking out there by far then there are minority American workers looking for work, that anyone who tries, no matter their ethnicity or color of their skin, can earn a whole bunch of dollars during the ongoing Trump era that they can spend as they please to support themselves and their families.
