Thank You, President Obama ► Throwback Thursday

The Not Now Silly Newsroom wishes President Obama –and his lovely family — all the best as he prepares to take on the role of Citizen Obama tomorrow.

It’s our belief that Barack Obama will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents this country has ever produced. TO BE FAIR: That’s not how the Reich Wing portrays him. In fact, they consider him to be the worst POTUS ever, despite a list that includes William Henry Harrison, Andrew Jackson, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Herbert Hoover, Calvin Coolidge, Millard Fillmore, and Richard Nixon, among other reprobates.

When you consider all the lies, insults, and obstreperousness President Obama has been subject to over the last 8 years, he has shown himself to be a man of calm and wisdom, with a great sense of humour. He needed it.

Compare and contrast his behaviour to that of Emperor Trump, whose skin is so thin, that you can see right through him to his soul, or lack thereof. Trump hate tweets whenever somebody hurts his feelings, proving himself to be a man smaller than his own hands.

President Obama was a breath of fresh air after the corrosive administration of George W. Bush, who led the country into a war against a country that did not attack it, while ignoring one that did.

Tomorrow we will hear a horse’s ass take the oath of office for the most powerful job in the world. The betting is on who he will attack during his speech, or whether he will pretend to be presidential — finally!!!

However, if you want to hear soaring oratory, here are the 2 inaugural speeches of Barack Obama.


Buckle up, Chicolinis.
We’re in for a bumpy ride.
