I just watched the opening of Obama Library

[Jack4freedom]

After watching the dedication of the Obama Presidential Library and listening to the President and his wife speak and seeing the beautiful campus right in the South Side Of Chicago I must admit that I was very moved. They built a beautiful park where any of us can go anytime and enjoy that great city. Both Michelle and President Obama gave great speeches and there were thousands of Chicagoans out there enjoying the beautiful day and listening to what I consider true American sentiments.

Then I switched over to watch Don Trump muddle through an incoherent meandering speech at the G-7 before the international press corp. Several people reported that Trump audibly crapped his pants on stage and those close were overcome by the stench. The contrast of the kind of leadership we had there from 2009-2017 and what we have now is breathtaking. I sincerely hope that we can survive another two plus years with this disgusting corrupt smelly ass hole in charge and get back on the right track. All comments are welcome!

Trump’s idea of a library after he got the bum’s rush after his first term was heisting dozens of boxes of classified documents and storing them in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom and on a stage, and then lying about having them and obstructing all efforts to retrieve them. We are likely to see something even worse when and if he leaves office after this nightmarish term.

But yes, the Obama ceremony was wonderful, attended by all decent ex-presidents, including GWB and his wife. Trump spent the day telling disgraceful lies about Obama and everything else under the sun.

I can’t imagine what would possess any person to watch a dedication of ANY presidential library. Hero worship perhaps. I never have, never will. These things are spectacular odes to self rendered by every [megalomaniacal] president (they all do it, they all self-worship). I refuse to join them in that practice.

That said, yes - for the jillionth time…Trump is awful. Will there ever come a point when your appetite for this is sated? Seriously. Multiple times every day hasn’t scratched the itch?

C’mon, dude.

If it’s any consolation…I guarantee that the next guy will also suck. I can also pretty much guarantee that half of the hyper-political electorate will praise/attack him as always. I’m just tired of it - and that’s on me to bail out.

Do you hate all presidential libraries, or just Obama’s?

I'm sure your heart was all a-flutter, followed shortly thereafter by your usual outrage and anger.

As a lifelong student of US History, I enjoy watching tributes usually on PBS of historical leaders lives. I have watched dozens of these documentaries and several of them more than once. When I was a little kid my father used to take me and my brothers and sisters to the Fort where George Washington fought the French and historic sites Fort Pitt and Fort Duquesne all near McKeesport where I was born. We also went to Gettysburg a few times and to DC where we visited the Washington Monument, The Lincoln Memorial, The US Capitol, Arlington National Cematery and The White House. My dad was a decorated war veteran who joined the Army the day after Pearl Harbor and fought in the Pacific from 1942-1945. He always tried to impress upon me and all of us the greatness of America.

When I was in my 20s, I was driving on I-70 from California to New York with my future wife and I saw a sign about Harry S Truman and took the ramp and spent a few hours at Harry’s old farm house. We both loved it. I have also visited FDR library in Hyde Park NY a few times and have been to the Ronald Reagan Library several times in Simi Valley near LA. I’m going to make a point of it to go to Chicago and have a picnic at the beautiful park outside Obama’s library and go in and see what I can learn there. I’m 72 now and I’m going to make a point to visit a bunch more Presidential Libraries. I love America and still am very interested in our history.

Ok…but watching and getting excited about presidential library dedications?!? What the?!?

Let us now commence with the ceremonial trimming of presidential nosehair! Roll call!!

Having now had time to mull this over…perhaps if they combined the two entities and created a Presidential Nosehair Museum and Library, my interest may be piqued. I’ll continue to ruminate on this.

I actually thought it was a very nice very positive ALL AMERICAN program. Unlike the birthday shitshow Trump put on at the White House for his birthday. I notice President Obama and his wife did not make any cheap disgusting references or comments aimed at Don Trump or his lovely wife. Maybe once you grow a little more you will learn the difference between class and classless. It’s never too late to pull your head out of Donny’s ass.

Damn. It looks like you’re not even aware of the fabulous day of music by today’s top artists. You’re oddly yapping about nose hair. But that doesn’t stop your bloviating.

To me it’s a chance to see an important piece of our history live. My dad saw Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio play and served under General MacArthur. I saw Ted Williams and Stan Musial play and have regaled my boys about those things too. I took my kids to Reagan’s library and FDRs. They loved it just like I did when my old man took me to Gettysburg, Duquesne, Fort Necessity and DC. Whether or not you personally liked or disliked President Obama and his wife they were and are a big part of our history. 100 years from now people will be watching documentaries about them just like I now enjoy watching documentary films about Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Washington. They are very interesting people in my opinion. Has anybody ever told you that in many ways you are a very negative and kind of snotty superior person? You obviously have many redeeming qualities but those two traits are not among them.

It was a great day. But don’t expect our resident Obama haters to admit that.

Redeeming qualities?

WTF?

[Jack4freedom]

It made his day, no doubt!

We all know how warm and gushy you get down there when Trump talks dirty about grabbing p#ssies or when your beloved JD Vance ravished Erika Kirk on stage in Mississippi. I guess it’s just a matter of what gets different people excited….Right?

No dude. I’m a normal guy, rather than political groupie who mews and purrs at the feet of pols. Seriously. EVERY president celebrates self with presidential libraries. It isn’t historically significant. It is hero worship.

Library dedication…how dreamy.

I really liked the dedication ceremony. I also enjoyed all the other Presidential Libraries I have visited in the past. What I saw only lasted a little over an hour about a pretty amazing a 12 year political career and a couple exceptional lives. I thought it was well worth while. I might visit the campus later this year during the Baseball pennant races and catch some Cubs, Brewers and/or White Sox games and take my son and grandson. That’s the kind of stuff my dad did with me and I fondly remember it.
