Obama is 'relieved' to no longer be president
2018-04-03
h/t Instapundit
Former President Barack Obama is reportedly feeling "relieved" that he isn't saddled with the "burden" of being commander in chief anymore, according to one of his ex-White House press secretaries.

"It’s obvious to most people who are watching that he is relieved to no longer be bearing the burden of the presidency," Josh Earnest told the Hill in an article published Monday.

AlanC has the witty perspective. Both funny and wise.

#13  Trump will be re-elected in 2020. In desperation, the dems will run Tammy Duckworth in 2024. In her place, a trans thing (D) will be elected because by then all the leftwing media will be all the way around the bend and the regrettably large portion of the electorate that uses CNN - MSNBC - NYT - The Atlantic - The View - People Magazine in place of a brain will be around the bend too.

#12  Carters failures laid the groundwork for the Reagan revolution.

Obama's failures laid the groundwork for the Trump revolution.

#11  ALL loser, quitters, and failures are relieved when their time failing is over. He just fits the mold and we are also glad his slow motion train wreck is over.

#9  In the sense that obutthole both derailed swillary and greased the skids for the election of DJT, he is the gift that gives in many welcome and unexpected ways.

#8  I think he likes being a celebrity, semi-pro golfer more than the responsibility of being President.

#7  I personally think all of that weaponization of BLM, IRS, etc,. was part of a plan to make him President for life. He was trying to stir up a race war/civil war in which he could declare martial law. I also think his shenanigans with FISA, the FBI, DoJ, and the circuit courts was a step toward allowing him to suspend elections due to national emergency.

We dodged a bullet with that one and had the loathsome one been elected it would have reached full fruition.

#6  At least he isn't president, but he sure as fuck will be sticking his dick beaters in every political pie he can. He just can't let it go.

#5  Ditto #2.

I was afraid that he might try to become a President for Life as so many of his heroes have, but, in the last few years I have realized that he was never the leader except in the same way that a hood ornament leads a car.

The motive force for the fearsome policies was the progressive deep state for whom Barry was only the trained seal in the circus. He was never a leader like Benito, Adolf, Mao, Fidel etc. Our wannabe dictators are more of the Byzantine Generals of the BGP.

Incessant in fighting with constantly changing alliances within the state seemed to allow no true leader to arise but also insured the arrival of a Trump.

#4  If he doesn't die from an overdose he is going to be around for many years, vocal as ever. Festering boil on the butt of humanity and enjoying every minute of it.

#3  In November of 2008 I was unsure if I would ever see the end of his rule.

#2  To paraphrase Tom Lehrer "He can't be half as relieved as I am."

#1  I'm also relieved.
