WASHINGTON— Barack Obama will issue a blistering rebuke of President Donald Trump in Wednesday’s Democratic Party convention, accusing his successor of unleashing America’s “worst impulses” and treating the presidency as a reality show “to get the attention he craves.”In excerpts released ahead of his address, the former president also puts the stakes in the November election in stark terms, warning that the future of American democracy is on the line in the race between Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden.“I am also asking you to believe in your own ability — to embrace your own responsibility as citizens —

That is a true statement. Get Biden in the WH and the socialist/communist/progressive nuts jobs will destroy our democracy in quick order.

What a tiresome, dishonest, hypocritical prig he is. As if he didn't politicize the IRS, FBI and Justice Department. I despise him.

Democracy has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with freedom. In a pure Democracy, the rule of the people is by a majority. That's why the democrats want to repeal the electoral college. Our elections are not won on a pure majority vote. For them, democracy means a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people. Period. On the other hand, freedom is totally at stake. The democrats will absolutely diminish and take away our freedom. Freedom, generally, is having the ability to act or change without constraint. Something is "free" if it can change easily and is not constrained in its present state. ... A person has the freedom to do things that will not, in theory, or in practice, be prevented by other forces. The other forces that are restricting and preventing our freedom are groups like BLM, Antifa, and all of the other anarchists rioting burning and looting in the streets. You have not heard one democrat speak out against them. Their silence is loud acceptance and approval of what they are doing. What they are doing is attempting to destroy our FREEDOM. I say it's time to stand up, man up, woman up, and fight in bloody combat to put these thugs down. Fight and die to vote and fight to get everyone you can out to vote. It is with win or lose. Choose wisely. Choose freedom and liberty. Liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views. So what's it going to be...Freedom, Liberty, or death?

Boy, talk about projection (sorry it's overused but in this case accurate). Anyone mention Holder, corrupt FBI, liberal justices tearing at the fabric of constitutional law?
What's worrisome is that the prig got 2 terms!? Course he ran against RINO quislings.

Well, that's OK then. We don't live in a democracy. And never want to. They always commit suicide.

The only critical threat to democracy is the dem party. BO would have been truly dangerous if he wasn't an incompetent stoner. As it was, he did a lot of damage. Luckily Trump has not only rolled back but countered most of BO's presidency. In another 4 years, BO will just be a stain on history. Hopefully by the next election the dems will have lost interest in the worst president this great country ever had. It will be interesting because most of the dem performers will be too old to do anything meaningful. All the young dems are radical nuts. By then, the Country will be in such great shape and the dems/media.Left in such disarray and decline that they will have nothing to offer a resurgent America.

I heard Obummer was also going to call Trump “lazy.” You could call Trump a lot of things, but that is just wrong.

FTA: "Indeed, the former president has enviable popularity, both among Democrats and all Americans."
What a Crock! Illegal Aliens loved him. ISIS loved him. Iranian leaders loved him. Chinese government loved him. AARP loved him. University Professors loved him. Socialist Unions loved him. United Nations loved him. Criminals loved him. Soros loved him. Maxine Waters, Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazille and all the ugly Coyotes fancied being his slave. America was at its historic worse period during his presidency.

Irony overload. The media, the political machines, international money, criminal interference by the Deep State - all aligned against the electorate who votes for Trump - and when Trump gets re-Elected it will be destructive to Democracy!?!?
I didn’t think it was possible to be more ironic than Bill, The Oval Office Intern Abuser; lecturing Trump on office decorum. I underestimated the Kenyan Leftist.

The first thing these people will go for is to destroy the rights and privileges in the Constitution.
Without those rights our country is just another Dictatorship.

He's not worried about losing Democracy. Obama is worried that his vision for the United States (which he calls Democracy, but it isn't) will be roundly rejected by its people.

Considering that the USA has never been a democracy, and never will be one, it's kind of hard to lose what you never had.
The USA is a Republic (thank God!!!!) And you would think a former president would be smart enough to understand that. But you can't expect much from our first affirmative action president -- who just coincidently is also the worst president in the history of the USA!!!!!

Yup, demonrat communism is on the line. For a purported constitutional scholar, he still doesn't know this country is a Republic, not a democracy.
