Nelson Mandela was loving friends with Momar Gaddafi and Yassir Arafat. His wife used flaming tires as "necklaces" around the necks of those who were considered "Traitors" to the Party.

Mr. Obama is a racist tool and a Communisty organizer who hates America to his core.

Of course, he plagiarized it!

At least he gave attribution this time.

If Trump had posted that he would have been torn to shreds...i.e. how dare he...what does he know....he hasn’t right right...

I can hear it now.

Many of those likes are no doubt bots. Twitter manipulates their followers and the likes, distorting for political purposes.

That phrase he tweeted has not a thing to do with Charlottesville.

And of course, Barry left out the other half of the quote. Is the implication, as he looked in that window with the children looking out, that he was ready to start teaching them to hate?

Yes, only Barry can do that, otherwise it would be “cultural appropriation”. You know, as if black muslims had a monopoly on Biblical morality...

For eight years Obama stirred up animosity. He needs to shut up and go away.

Hey Obama. MLK was against gay marriage. Surely that is hatred against the LGTB community. Why aren’t you calling for the removal of all of his statues ?
