LONDON —

Outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama was in Greece Tuesday, bringing to Europe much sought assurances about the U.S. commitment to NATO under the presidency of Donald Trump. Before leaving the United States, Obama said President-elect Trump told him he intends to maintain America's core strategic relationships.

Athens is the first stop on Obama’s last foreign trip as president.

Sorry, founding fathers hated democracy, which is why we are a representative republic with many checks and balances.

No one believes, trusts, or is willing to get a cup of coffee for Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch.

The only place for the dork is an institution which, like he, has never had a success in its life, is populated with losers having no talent, morals, or intelligence.

Yup, we KNOW he’ll have a UN job.

Obama is not a constitutional law expert.

Obama has lied to America for 8 years.

So its only fitting to finish his term on a “Lying Tour” in Europe.

“Obama said President-elect Trump told him he intends to maintain America’s core strategic relationships. “

Trying to burnish his resume and entangle Trump with agreements that may no longer be good for America.

President-Elect Trump (I like writing that!) should issue immediate statement: “No one speaks for me. I speak for myself.”

I just tuned in and scared my poor cat because I busted out LAUGHING at little B-HO. He’s peddling and trying no explain how the election is NOT a repudiation of him or his policies. He’s also struggling to use his “smart descriptors” he uses in every unscripted remark, like “notion” and “zero sum”. What a ‘man-child’ phony.

The clown obama just can’t seem to cope with the fact that he’s become totally irrelevant.

The day after the election, went out to Tractor Supply and bought a 4’ by 6’ Old Glory and bent it on to my flag pole, just over the Gadsen Flag, which has been flying since Obama was first inaugurated.

It looks real good...like our Constitution!
