President Barack Obama closed his next-to-last year in office with rare praise for congressional Republican leaders who helped orchestrate a bipartisan budget deal Friday, then vowed to work hard to beat the GOP and get a fellow Democrat elected to succeed him in the White House. [...]

While Obama was sidelined by his party in the 2014 midterm elections, he made clear he plans to play a robust role in the 2016 campaign. He said he expected Democrats to nominate a strong candidate, though he did not publicly side with front-runner Hillary Clinton or top challenger Bernie Sanders.

"I think I will have a Democratic successor," Obama said. "And I will campaign very hard to make that happen." ...

The bastard just won’t leave us alone. The POS intends to make life miserable for honkys, Christians and conservatives until the bitter end when we have to send the FBI to the White House with an eviction notice.

This dick is never going away. I bet after his term is over he will be on tv everyday or in the news one way or another. I hate him.

He’s the Mother of All Freeloaders. He has lived off somebody else’s money his entire life. Too old to look for a REAL job.

And Obama’s Islamic Army will be waiting on the sidelines to assist.

Yes Obozo’s arrogance and messiah complex of the boy king won’t end; however he will prove as a constant reminder of the mistakes and incompetence and treason of the previous administration as things go from bad to worse. A nice anvil for his supporters and party to be weighted down with. And Trump gets in, hopefully he will be exposed as a usurping fraud. Surely there will be all kinds of treasonous vile stuff that will come out that his admin did in that past two terms...

Please I hope so.

Because so far an Obama endorsement brings with it the kiss of death.

Next up, he’ll take his show on the road as the Secretary-General of the UN. That should be good for laughs for the entire planet!

“Oh, Hillary must be thrilled to no end with this news.”

Indeed. This is some of the best news possible for conservatives. Makes it that much easier to tar Hillary with Obama’s positions in vicious attack ads. The kind I expect to see pouring out of the Trump/Cruz ticket.

Obama’s the biggest jinx ever in the WH, whether trying to get the Olympics for Chicago, trying for gun control, appearing in sports venues, his health care, letting his wife starve school kids, whatever he tries.
His schtick is gonna be worse than Carter wanting to `help’ Fritz Mondale. Barry. Just go away. Stop embarrassing us. The sooner the better.
