    1. Lets look at the facts...

      Obamas polling numbers are high YET:

      2/3 of Nations Governors are Republicans
      2/3 of legislative house are Republicans
      Republicans control both houses of Congress
      Republicans own the Presidency
      Democrats had historic losses in 2016 election

    What a great president, too bad the racists can't enjoy the excellent job he did.

    Do you agree with releasing Manning and Lopez Rivera?

    If I thought he was a great president (I don't think he quite makes that mark), that wouldn't change my mind even if I disagreed.

    I think the worst thing Obama did was cracking down on whistle blowers after coming in with the idea that he wouldn't. Releasing Manning kind of helps reverse that, so I'm not as upset as I might be.

    Obama also not removing some of the invasions to privacy authorized under Bush was pretty bad. Those are my main complaints against Obama.

    His red line in Syria wasn't a good thing either, but not as bad as the other two.

    I look at the totality of the job he hid, not just nitpick a few items, what a great great President.

    Less than a day and Obama is away. We are now down to counting the hours.

    It feels like our nation is finishing off a long prison sentence and today is emancipation day.

    I know my opinion means very little as I'm not American.

    But on the flipside, I'm not force fed all the media sensationalism about Obama and can actually gather straight hitting information.

    'Great' is far, far, far from the word I would use to describe Obama's legacy.

    Very grateful it has come to an end on the other hand. Yes

    Here is a nifty 'Obama out of office countdown clock' video that I thought you guys might enjoy. The clock was a fixed shot from a few days ago, but the music and the dancing are kind of fun.

    I teared up when I saw the White House empty last night. You guys may hate Obama but I agreed with 85% of the things he did and I know he supported the causes I supported. I hope one day our government, and by extension the voters, returns to these values again.

    Because of all those freedoms you lost? Will you get your guns back today or will you wait for the weekend? Have you been released from your Jade Helm induced concentration camp?

    to be fair... the freedom to discriminate, the freedom to suppress speech, the freedom to suppress other religious rights, ... many of them are about to be freed! YES!
