We the People Concert and Telethon to counter Trump's Inauguration being planned

The more I hear about this, the more it sounds like a major floperoo in the making.

I still think it will be more successful than the lady whose loss they're celebrating, though.

Beyoncé and Jay Z, Madonna, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, the cast of Hamilton, on and on .. with Alec Baldwin as MC, playing Trump as he does on SNL.

Also serving as a fundraiser / telethon for causes such as, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, Lambda Legal, NAACP, Common Cause, CAIR, IRAP, SPLC, Environmental Defense Fund, Human Rights Campaign Fund, MoveOn, Economic Policy Institute, Inequality Media, and GLAD

Sounds like a winner.

Did he also follow Bush's plan to reinsert American troops into Iraq, after years of ISIS atrocities?

The difference between a fool like Bush/Trump, and a strong leader like Obama, is the knowledge to know when to act, and when to react. Iraq, by Republican rules, is now Trump's fault. Anything that happens going forward is on him, as well as everything that happened under Bush.

We have no business being in Iraq. That invasion opened a can of worms that will never be closed. Best we leave, and take a lesson from it.

I couldn't agree with you more. What's even more astounding is that he's made no effort to try to heal the division.

These people believe that don't need anyone but themselves.

This is the group that gave us 'Barack The Magic Negro', Obama lawn jockey pics, and a watermelon patch on the front lawn of the White House picture mere months after Obama's inauguration.

Then, they magically invented the term 'reverse racism' to combat their own disgusting show of racist behavior.

After 8 years of overt obstruction, they now call for everyone to come together to work toward a radical Right Wing agenda?

That's grand.

Thatcher was a leader. She was not run by polls. A very strong woman as are all successful women leaders in this world, past and present. Like I said, it would benefit anyone running for office to read up on these folks. Impressive.

You cannot compare her reign to today's climate, any more than you can reference Reagan in today's discussions.

I know, I know .. you Trumpettes don't like A list performers .. and that's OK. :0)

WE like them .. so they're always welcome and willing to participate for cause.

:0) A massive show of disrespect for Trump and his voters.

If you thought Obama had a rough time .. you ain't (eb) seen nothing yet.

Wait a minute, I need to challenge you on something. Just when and where did Obama ever have a hard time during his two term presidency? Obama was arguably the most pampered, approached with soft gloves president in american history. The republicans caved to Obama at every turn. They gave Obama just about everything he wanted. No one dare scrutinize him knowing they'd get retribution and scorn from the media. The republicans were scared to death of Obama and the race card they knew would be played against them if they got out of line and actually opposed him.

This is one of the main reasons Donald Trump is about to become president in fact. Republican collaboration with Obama and the progressive Dems.

Yes, Obama is leaving Iraq in great shape, with no new US boots on the ground. His policy with Libya worked wonders, Yemen is a favorite vacation spot, and Syria couldn't be better. I think more boatloads of hard cash should be shipped to Iran.

Damn those Republicans.

Obama simply followed Bush's planned pull out of troops, especially since Iraq refused to negotiate a new SOA agreement. I don't see how you feel that was a crime? The Republican Guard was already well established in Syria after Bush drove them out of Iraq. They weren't 'born' due to a pullout in Iraq.

A final SOFA agreement was COMPLETELY Obamas responsibility. Your statements are without reason or fact.

Well you like to differentiate between pinks and whites, so I do the same with equity feminists and gender feminists. If you don't understand the difference then look up Christina Hoff-Summers. I have to wonder just what sort of lunatic would wish to have an abortion.

The solution is easy .. enjoy the Croatian banjo player .. don't watch the WTP concert. Now you won't have to be bothered by women you don't like.

Easy

This is a perfect example of liberal elitism that causes more regular folks to vote republican.

There's one number you will almost never hear (from Obama): More than 1,030
That's the number of spots in state legislatures, governor's mansions and Congress lost by Democrats during Obama's presidency.

It's a statistic that reveals an unexpected twist of the Obama years: The leadership of the one-time community organizer and champion of ground-up politics was rough on the grassroots of his own party. When Obama exits the White House, he'll leave behind a Democratic Party that languished in his shadow for years and is searching for itself.

"What's happened on the ground is that voters have been punishing Democrats for eight solid years — it's been exhausting," said South Carolina state Sen. Vincent Sheheen, who lost two gubernatorial campaigns to Nikki Haley, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for ambassador to the U.N. "If I was talking about a local or state issue, voters would always lapse back into a national topic: Barack Obama."

When Obama won the presidency, his election was heralded as a moment of Democratic dominance — the crashing of a conservative wave that had swept the country since the dawn of the Reagan era.

Democrats believed that the coalition of young, minority and female voters who swept Obama into the White House would usher in something new: an ascendant Democratic majority that would ensure party gains for decades to come.

The coalition, it turns out, was Obama's alone.

After this year's elections, Democrats hold the governor's office and both legislative chambers in just five coastal states: Oregon, California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware. Republicans have the trifecta in 25, giving them control of a broad swath of the middle of the country.

The defeats have all but wiped out a generation of young Democrats, leaving the party with limited power in statehouses and a thin bench to challenge an ascendant GOP majority eager to undo many of the president's policies. To be sure, the president's party almost always loses seats in midterm elections. But, say experts, Obama's tenure has marked the greatest number of losses under any president in decades.

"Obama just figured his important actions on policies like immigration and health care would solidify support, but that hasn't really materialized," said Daniel Galvin, a political science professor at Northwestern University and the author of a book on presidential party building. "He's done basically the minimal amount of party building, and it's been insufficient to help the party."

It's a political reality that Obama has only been willing to acknowledge publicly after his party's devastating November losses. He's admitted he failed to create "a sustaining organization" around the political force that twice elected him to office.

"That's something I would have liked to have done more of, but it's kind of hard to do when you're also dealing with a whole bunch of issues here in the White House," he said at his year-end press conference.

It is perhaps not surprising that Obama — a politician who promised a post-party era — turned out not to be a party stalwart.

Obama and his aides came into office neither beholden to his party's establishment, nor particularly interested in reinforcing his party's weak spots.

He electrified the 2004 Democratic National Convention with a speech seeking common cause over party differences. Four years later, he defeated Hillary Clinton, the pick of the party insiders, to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

In the White House, Obama's failure to do the typical Washington schmoozing was a constant source of complaint among congressional Democrats, as was his reluctance to endorse down-ballot candidates and inability to parlay Organizing for Action, his grassroots organization, into a significant force.

State parties languished and the Democratic National Committee struggled with dysfunction and debt.

"We built this beautiful house, but the foundation is rotten," said South Carolina Democratic Chairman Jaime Harrison, a candidate to lead the Democratic National Committee. "In hindsight we should have looked at this and said, 'Maybe the state parties should be strong."

I would have been concerned if they DID show respect. Whew! Close call. Glad there's still a clear distinct difference between us.

How lovely. The bitter clingers to the past worshiping their shallow idols. Nothing new here. Wow...actors, musicians & entertainers...how impressive. The same overpaid lot that couldn't push Hillary over the top. Losers.
