We all know it's Obama's post-Presidential dream job. And, quite frankly, he'd be damn good at it.

They serve as a fantastic reminder to Americans of what it was like to have an emotionally mature adult with a healthy sense of humor as POTUS. Every time Americans can see this stuff, it makes the current POTUS shrink in comparison.

8. I watched the interview and as always when I hear President Obama talk I think how the fuck do we have Trump

And then sadly I remember how white rednecks just can't stand the fact the the Obama's are intelligent, classy and attractive. It weighs on them to no end that the Obamas are living a wonderful life.

Goddamn, do I miss the Obama years.

If Trump carries through his threat to unconstitutionally run for a third term, and the Republican on the Supreme Court rubber stamp it , it really screw with Trumps brain if Obama then announced he was going to run in the Democratic primary. If the Republicans got their pet Justices to exclude Obama but not Trump it would at least show what a bunch of hypocrites and charlatans the conservative majority on the Supreme Court is for all to see. That their real Rule of Law comes down to a simple rule "Its legal if a Republican does it."
