Okay, maybe I should say that I am going to miss Obama, but really, I think a lot of people will miss him when we end up with a less dignified and thoughtful US President.

This might not be the perfect video to demonstrate that, but for me it shows his ability to look at the world with a certain calm ironic detachment rather than a frenzied and crazed engagement.

Anyway, here we go:

However detached Obama may appear , foreign policy in essence has not changed .
Many would contend -- and I am one -- that he continues to promote NWO geo-political strategy in the ME and has done little to prevent Global companies becoming stronger and more powerful than Nation States .
It can be surmised that Trump will do everything possible to change these policy roots .And people close to Donald will tell you that his performance has been studied in the greatest detail and depth in order for him to win the nomination . At that point -- now onwards -- we will see someone of a very different style with much more substance emerging .

If the NWO Mideast policy is "do as little as possible and hope it doesn't blow up too badly in your administration," then yes, Obama has promoted that.

Yep, he's brilliant. The coolest man on the planet. I loved the line from the same dinner last year "I'd like to welcome all the members of Congress here tonight, taking time out from their busy schedule of not passing any laws...."

It's funny how a group of people can see a great man where others see a dishonest, wimpy, divisive, economy ruining laughing stock of the world.

However, things could get even worse, I'll give ya that.

No. Just no. We know a laughing stock when we see one out here in the rest of the world. Obama is a breath of fresh air, and the first sane and competent president the USA has had for about 15 years. It's a pity that no-one could say that about Congress, or you might have actually got something done in the last 5 or 6 years.

Oh, and you want to check that economy thing, too. It was a bloody mess when he took over.

Fresh Air?

Obama is poised to become a valuable public intellectual. He knows more about human psychology and philosophy of science than almost all of you people. Knows more than me FFS ;) Granted I don't have almost all of the cognitive and social sciences working for me under the table as consultants. (I guess there are about 4 Republican psychology professors left in the modern world) Oh you didn't know that this was a major factor? Goddamn, when I heard Cialdini was consulting, I knew Romney had zero chance!

How much of a factor is this in why the campaigns are totally night and day? HA! One of the many reasons the right is royally ********** and has no chance going forward.

I saw Justin Trudeau was reading "Superforecasting" and hired the co-author. Yeah. Kiss the next few elections goodbye, *********** knuckledraggers!

By the time the right catches up with ethical influence through psychology, the hangover of how their populist strain has ruined their name will have retarded them too much to respond.

Obama is also funnier than most of you, not me though, I'm funnier than Obama.



Good sign of intelligence.

Obama is probably going to go into deep strategy and continue his intellectual development and get involved with security and peacemaking and negotiation and make the efforts of the Bush and Clinton Foundation look like cheerleaders and sideliners. That's my prediction. He still has political capital and respect, so such a thing is possible for him.

Like Henry Kissenger but not a piece of ****, a real man, and a practitioner of skepticism and realism, not realpolitick and piss artistry...

Am I wrong?

A fine man. I would allow my family to interbreed with his.

Drone strikes are "as little as possible"? Can you imagine what would happen if somebody was drone-striking the US? What do you think the reaction would be?

Yup, the Republicans could be nominating Cruz instead of Trump.

Well, if Trump does get elected, I think that the Republican Party will go down in flames. I'd like to see both parties go down, but I'll be happy if it's only one.

By the consensus of most of the world, yes. It's pretty much only the right-wingers in the USA that don't like Obama. Oh.. and Al Queda and ISIS, they don't much like him either.

And the left-wingers. But nobody listens to us, right?

First you speak of Trump, and then of someone with substance.

The non sequitur is very confusing.
