To those who don't get Obama...

You missed out.

We may never have a President who inspires us like this again.

Obama speaks to the best of us as Americans. Trump, unfortunately, speaks to the worst of us. There couldn't be a more stark difference.

Yes, the man who bombs children and kills American citizens without a trial is truly a great symbol of our nation.
 
Inspires what? Cop hating? Race Baiting? Muslim extremism? Fascism? Social Communism? Using several names depending upon which persona he needs at any given time? Barry Soetoro has been the most divisive commander in chief in the history of the United States. He has doubled the national debt, made more people impoverished, reduced the labor participation rate to its lowest in over 4 decades, used government agencies to attack his political opponents, spied on US CITIZENS and journalists he did not agree with....

Yep he speaks to the BEST of the United States.....that riot in the street, beat down people because they did not agree with the way they voted in a free election....you mean he inspired evil assholes to be more duplicitous and deceitful. Just look at the liberals on this board....no morality whatsoever, constantly lying and attempting to assassinate the character of those they disagree with.

Yep that real inspiring. :palm:

I wish I could shake your hand.
 
How did he inspire you, specifically?

I appreciated his heartfelt words for Michelle and his family, and the occasional honest reflection.

Having said that... It was the longest farewell speech by an outgoing president, making it all the more evident that he felt compelled to not only defend his legacy but to do several other things... Obama has always crafted his speeches in such a way so as to give the listener the impression that he's forever aspiring to the highest ideals of humanity, even when those ideals are completely opposite his own actions or that of his party's. He's a very skilled manipulator who purposely infuses revisionist history in his speeches, dishonest portrayals of reality, attaching false positions or motives to his political opponents, and usually positioning himself as a victim of circumstances beyond his control that have prevented him from being more effective as president. All this is done in order to persuade the listener not to blame him for anything bad that happened while he was president, but to blame anyone or anything else. And of course, he makes sure to throw some red-meat to his base... I think the most applauded line of the night had to do with defending Muslims, LOL! Always the pet religion of Liberals :)

i am a social progressive and islam is not my favorite religion, but i will defend it. radical terrorists that claim to be doing bad things in the name of islam are fake muslims and give islam a bad name.
 
Being the first black President hopefully he has inspired children of color to think they can do more. He gets judged on his job performance the same way all other President's get judged.

Every generation has inspiring people. Inspiring people aren't going to end with Obama.
Well, it will for the next four years

President Reagan, the Republican demigod more than doubled the U.S. federal debt. But it's only bad when a Democrat does it.

Douchebag Donald never voted for Reagan, so, I guess he's got that going for him, should be somehow choose to be more fiscally prudent than his predecessors.
 
Yes he is. That has NOTHING to do with people's logical choice to pick him.

What the fuck is wrong with you? How is anything I said in that post "trolling"?

You're a damn liar.
You are saying all his voters picked him for logical reasons?
 
Obama's rhetoric wore out years ago when his transformational self ran up against reality.He's less filling -sounds great.
 
But to continually only ask those on the left, and not those on the right?

Sorry - pretty much a giveaway there. Though I'm sure Yurt appreciates your effort.
I am an emotional liberal and proud of it because I have compassion for the human race

I support feeding and clothing the poor
I support the sick
I support the oppressed
I am angry at the money changers
I am against war
I love my neighbors
I am mericiful
I hunger and thrist for righteousness

My ideals are and were shared by many great men and woman throughout history and we are far better because of these emotional people who value love, charity and peace above all else.

What makes them fake muslimes? What are they misinterpreting?

You just want OTHERS to pay for your so called compassion

These are mere words. They are worthless

It's equally possible the motive is charitable; more about giving than receiving.

Know it or not, believe it or not, like it or not, admit it or not; recent studies have been done on this.

- One group was given a small amount of $money (~$10.oo) and told to spend it in a way that would please the spender.
- The other group was given the same $amount, and told to donate it to benefit someone else.

The two groups were then compared. The study conclusion was it was the charitable expenditure that brought the greater happiness & satisfaction.

Charity is its own reward.

How revealing that you infer avarice, where a less disparaging, more likely explanation exists.

Lol. What did Obama say about Bush when he doubled the debt?.....perhaps it's only bad when a Republican does it.....

Or Ockham's Razor, perhaps when presiding over economic recovery from the worst recession since the great depression, a little Keynesian economics might help.

The Obama rescue of GM is a problem, but the Bush / Cheney / Paulson $700 $Billion $TARP was alright?

It's almost as if you had a valid point to make!
