As Donald Trump's 4th of July message to the nation is memes of himself, former president Barack Obama released a message about the meaning of Independence Day and democracy.
There is a rush of hope whenever President Obama lends his voice to comment on the realities facing America today. He is kind, gentle, stern and generous and the best president we ever had the honor of electing. I won’t contrast him with Donald Trump, Trump is detritus, putrid and toxic and despicable.
Thank you for being a President for ALL of us - President Obama; instead of the current one who only cares about the Richie Rich’s & how much he can scam from the Maggots
At some point, a large number of Americans decided to settle for a president who was the epitome of the bare minimum. Voters used to have a high standard for those who served as president, but that standard has vanished.”
It is hard to celebrate our independence when we are in imminent danger of losing our democracy. It is incumbent upon all of us to recognize this and fight it while we can.
Presidents Obama and Biden are both sorely missed; both true patriots who upheld the oath they swore to, to defend the constitution and be a president for all of America’s citizens. Today, our small, narcissistic, man child president said he couldn’t be president to all of our citizens, instead reiterating the obvious that he hates all democrats, a group that comprises over half of the population. It’s sad we have gotten to this point, but I think it has made us all more aware of how tenuous our democratic government is, and how easily we can lose it and its freedoms if we don’t remain vigilant. Every time I pass by one of our national cemeteries and see the rolls of white crosses, I’m reminded of the many who have died to preserve these freedoms, people our current president refers to as losers.
Not classy at all President Trump, continuing to divide us on our birthday! Saying he hates Democrats is like telling half the country he hates them. Beneath the dignity of the office he never should have occupied especially after J6!
He hates more than half the country between all the Dems, military, women, and non-whites he despises. He doesn't even like dogs. I get the feeling he hates everyone while merely temporarily enduring those who personally suck up to him, but only until he can find a convenient opportunity to push them out, too.
I think it’s very telling that he doesn’t have a dog, a cat, or a pet of any kind. Oops! My bad. He has many, many pets: all the drops in the pool-of-plasma-formerly-known-as-republicans🤨
Obama and Biden were great presidents we don’t have one now
We do not have a president, we have a useless narcissistic idiot turning the Oval Office in to a cheap bordello and totally destroying our democracy.
"Congratulations to you" nothing can be more clear than that.
The white House is a shit hold right now.
So true
We Shall OVERCOME!!
You got that right sure will but we have to fight for it

I do agree. He is a very decent human being.
Exactly!

His words have meaning. His words have intention.
He’s the coolest president! 😎
And the funniest, with impeccable comedic timing!
Obama was a great President. Trump is The Great America Disaster
I wish Obama or Biden were in charge. Our current situation is depressing
I like your article, too. And I really love this:
“

Unless it's a Democrat - then the standards are stratospheric, of course.
I agree. A powerful and truthful statement.
As usual, Obama nails it. And trump misses the mark.
As usual!
Thank you, President Obama! Still miss you every day. Love to you, Michelle, Malia and Sasha.
🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
Ditto this!
the dichotomy of faithfulness to democracy could not be more evident
Go out and build the WE!
Picnics and parades are great places to build community

And are lives if we get flagged?

Plus…he appears to HATE people of any different race! And ALL his all republican congressmen people….ARE RACISTS!!
And he hates all the "suckers and losers" who've ever served or died for our country.
Obama was a great President. Trum[p is The Great American Disaster
Classy President Obama!
