President Obama just kicked dumps ass.........

[Dachshund]

But back on topic. Obama is the first president who lashed out at his successor like he is doing. Not only has he lashed out publicly, he is out campaigning against him.

Did you notice how Obama's speech style was quite "manly", quite "No- Bull Shit" - in a word quite "Trumpish". Usually Obama's speeches are long low-testosterone, dead- boring Soy Boy monologues. This one had a lot more pizzaz, and passion, and energy than normal. He raised the volume as well and was close to shouting at times I think this was Obama trying to copy some of the aspects of Trump's rhetorical style that work so well for him at his MAGA rallies. I honestly don't know how Obama managed to" lift his game" and try to speak with some real conviction. Maybe Michelle poked a 3 inch stick of shaved ginger root up his black bottom just before he went on ?

PS: I don't see how Obama can have the nerve to come out and speak in public like that when everyone knows he's a Marxist criminal. A former President who is guilty of treason. I mean, who's going to want to listen to what a scumbag like that has to say ? Who could possibly take a word of it seriously ?

Untrue. Reichwing myth.

"Is Obama the only president in U.S. history to denounce his successor?

"The short answer is no. There are several presidents in recent history who have spoken out against their successors to different news and media outlets. "

Not one of them came out and publicly campaigned for any candidate, now did they?

Wrong, again. Maybe ask that fake teacher to read you the article? From the link:

"George H.W. Bush, like Mr. Obama, had a general rule of not speaking against successors. Yet, he did so often while campaigning for Republican candidates during the 1994 mid-term elections. "

Now you'll quibble that it didn't say that he campaigned for presidential candidates.

Again, to rehash my original post that no prior president campaigned for any candidate running against his successor.
Try to keep up with the program

Clinton campaigned for Kerry. Bush campaigned for Dole. I am sure if we research more, we can find more cases. It is a narrow requirement, but it does happen.

She can't keep up. It's why, after I made her look like a fool, she went into IA hiding.

As always, wrong again.

Once again:

"George H.W. Bush, like Mr. Obama, had a general rule of not speaking against successors. Yet, he did so often while campaigning for Republican candidates during the 1994 mid-term elections. "

You:

"running against his successor" is my quote. Successor is just that. His successor wouldn't be running in the midterms. None of them went out on a campaign trail against their successor, meaning the sitting president. That was my point. I didn't think I needed to further explain that.
But hey, take it or leave it, It won't change a thing. You and I are at opposite ends of the spectrum politically. I can be civil in other matters though.

No matter how you choose to word it or change the parameters, the fact remains that you are wrong. Obama is not the first person to campaign for a candidate and against his successor.

"Clinton rises from sick bed to boost Kerry campaign

"The former president told a boisterous rally in Philadelphia that Mr Kerry, the Democratic challenger, would be a champion of the middle classes who had been hit hard by the Republican administration of George Bush.

"Mr Clinton, who has been warned by doctors not to exert himself too much after his surgery, looked well as he walked out onto the stage in the biggest city in Pennsylvania, which is one of the key swing states that will settle the November 2 poll.

"His first words on stage were "If this is not good for my heart I don't know what is.""

That may be true, maybe not..... Good observation.....

IMHO it has nothing to do w/ an attempt to emulate a man he obviously despises, along w/ most of the country, but rather freedom, the freedom to speak his mind w/out the restraints of being president. SOmething trump the uncouth never seemed to care about=honoring & respecting the office in word, action & deed..

Roosevelt had a lot of say about his successor, whom he anointed: (He also ran against taft, although unsuccessfully)

9. “PUZZLEWIT,” “FATHEAD,” “BRAINS LESS THAN A GUINEA PIG.”
Roosevelt reserved some of his harshest words for his hand-picked successor. Roosevelt and William Howard Taft had a falling out; eventually, after challenging Taft for the Republican nomination (saying, "I'll name the compromise candidate. He'll be me. I'll name the compromise platform. It will be our platform”) Roosevelt ran against Taft in 1912 as a member of the Progressive party, a.k.a. the Bull Moose Party, and that’s when the gloves came off.

And in case the guinea pig reference seems random, Roosevelt once explained that “Just as machinery can be expressed in terms of horsepower, so some intellect can be expressed in terms of guinea pig power,” and that certain accusations against him “can only be heeded by men with brains of about three-guinea-pig power.” After which the St. Louis Dispatch opined, "Col. Theodore Roosevelt has further enriched the language which so many of his phrases now adorn by producing the following conjunctive description: ‘Three-guinea-pig-power brain.’ This is considered vastly superior to Woodrow Wilson’s ‘single track mind’ phrase, which had a brief vogue.”

10. “A FLUBDUB WITH A STREAK OF THE SECOND-RATE AND THE COMMON IN HIM."
Another insult aimed at Taft.

Roll the tape:
