Former President Barack Obama still inspires many a journalist. Karen Tumulty, a longtime correspondent for Time magazine and, until last year, a national political correspondent for the Washington Post, pleaded in a Tuesday column this past week for Obama to save the nation from President Donald Trump.
“Speak up, President Obama,” read the July 16 Washington Post print headline. Online: “We need someone who can lift us up again. Enter President Obama.”
Tumulty offered “an open letter to Barack Obama,” which she began: “Mr. President, it is time. You must speak. Your country needs you.”
She soon argued: “But silence now is unacceptable. It is time to make yourself heard.”
Tumulty proceeded to castigate Republicans for not standing up to Trump’s presumed moral failings: “We have long since given up expectations that anyone in Trump’s own party will do or say anything to call him out for what he is. The few who tried at the beginning have capitulated, been driven from office or walked away.
“For Trump, racism is not a moral failing; it is a political tactic. None of us can really claim to understand what is in his heart, but the cynicism of his actions is apparent, and it must be exposed for what it is.”
A few hundred words later, she concluded by pining for Obama's wisdom and inspiration: “President Obama, what we need more than anything else right now is someone who can lift the country’s sights again. Someone who can charge us, as you once did, with a mission to ‘march into the future. Let us keep that promise, that American promise, and in the words of scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.’
“Find your voice again. Reclaim your legacy. Do it now. It won’t wait until your memoirs.”

Speak! Now roll over!
obama is kinda screwed on this one, because if he starts to go public on anything, then the media is gonna want to question him, and the first thing they’re gonna ask him about is the jihad squad, and there’s nothing he can say about that that isn’t just gonna add more fuel to the fire ...
Sorry Mr. Baker - Mr. Obama is currently playing video games and getting high. (That’s what he did for most of his eight years in office as well.)
If you can line up First Class passage to Europe, some top-notch golf courses and Valerie Jarrett to write something nice for him to read off of a teleprompter he might be able to help you out..
Hey, Toomoldy, if you refer to a former President as President Obama, you can damned well refer to our current President as President Trump.
Karen walked into a bar and the bartender asked “why the Kerry face?”
Some “useful idiots” have extra idiocy.
Please save us, Barack! Go to Kenya.
8 years of nothing but fleecing and looting, save us from Trump. Bet you the last minute the sea hag will jump in

Who We Are {The Trump Supporters]
The left are carrying out their leftism in the corporate world. This woman and more like her have never had thinking ability. They are suckered in to a belief that is beneficial to only them.
In the corporate world the left promote the lib and skip a conservative. Like russia has been, you either conform or you stay on the lowest pole, and they hope you resign or rev up the misery index.. this is going on in libland .
Uh, ‘news’flash! They are entitled to their opinions. We ain’t entitled to squat. You musta forgot. And, you could be doxxed or even ‘swatted’ for your daring.
Put something in the ‘terlet’ or get off!
bump for the counter-attack
When we’re done he’ll claim Kenyan citizenship as a way to escape.
