Happy New Year DU!


Our beloved President Barack Obama just released his final New Year’s message – and it puts our president-elect’s childish taunting to shame. Our POTUS looked back on all we have achieved as a nation in the past eight years, the recovery we’ve made from the disastrous Bush years and the progress we’ve made as a people.

Hearing him list off some of his accomplishments, one can only swell with pride at his genuine pleasure he expresses – not because he’s proud of personally having overseen it, but pride at the resilience of the American people and honest gladness that their lives are better. The Obama Recovery has been a huge success. 20 million more Americans have affordable healthcare, an all-time high graduation rate from high school, average household income is up by 5.2%, same-sex marriage has become the law of the land, diplomatic relations re-established with Cuba, and the signing of the historic Iranian nuclear peace treaty are just some of the things that he’s done over the past eight years to make our country stronger and safer for the future.

He ends on this humble note:
‘It’s been the privilege of my life to serve as your President. And as I prepare to take on the even more important role of citizen, know that I will be there with you every step of the way to ensure that this country forever strives to live up to the incredible promise of our founding—that all of us are created equal, and all of us deserve every chance to live out our dreams. And from the Obama family to yours—have a happy and blessed 2017.’

Such leadership and humility are shockingly absent from the holiday greetings sent out by President-elect Donald Trump, who instead decided to taunt his enemies and labelled anyone who criticizes him an enemy of the country. The comparison between the two couldn’t be more obvious, and we can only hope that the checks and balances installed in our government will be able to protect President Obama’s achievements from the greedy plots of Trump, his fellow oligarchs, and the safety-net cutting Republicans in Congress.

[flamingdem]

25. Yes, that has to be the silver lining

Yay! Would have been nice for him to take it a bit easier, but we need him toooo much, lol.

[sheshe2]

27. He will not leave us alone.

Had Hill won he would have rested a bit. Now, watch out GOP.

Hey name removed posted crap to me at the bottom of the page I alerted yet Mirt got them first.

[flamingdem]

28. Those trolls are drunk tonight

[sheshe2]

30. Lol!

[NBachers]

29. "as I prepare to take on the even more important role of citizen"

[sheshe2]

31. Yes.

He will always be there for us every step of the way. No matter how many times he was attacked and humiliated he always stood for 100% for this country. Did he make mistakes? Yes. However he always stood for us.

[bdamomma]

Pete Souza: “President Obama watches the First Lady dance with 106-year-old Virginia McLaurin in the Blue Room of the White House prior to a reception celebrating African American History Month.”

[flamingdem]

8. Cha!! Yes, let's dance and be merry

We've had a wonderful 8 years with our Potus and family. Fingers crossed for battles ahead and a staying strong in '17!

[Cha]

11. Yes! that's my motto.. stay strong and healthy in the New Year!

In that vein have a happy Healthy New Year so we can go strong into battle against the literal take over of our country

I don't believe there's someone sticking up for the asshole himself on your thread! like there weren't enough stupid voters who got us into this mess.. we have to see it on DU

[flamingdem]

12. That one was so silly, the trolls must be

[Cha]

13. I say koolaid spiked with champagne..

poor widdle dump needs his diapers changed.

[flamingdem]

17. "Tweet some more for Daddy"

Ohhhh got to think of that everytime he gets on Twitter and praises Pootie

[bdamomma]

46. that's the truth right there

Fcuk him and putin.

[NastyRiffraff]

40. Love your sig line, Cha!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! We've got this.

[sheshe2]

10. Cha

[Kath2]

19. The last 8 years have been excellent.

And we will oppose this bigot with all have!

[Madam45for2923]

36. Oh Cha! I loooooooooooooooooove this photo! The three of them!

I love that lady, Ms. Virginia! My heart just swells!

[brer cat]

38. That was a moment of pure joy!

I choose to relive all of these special Obama times instead of watching anything about the trash moving in later this month.

[madaboutharry]

7. Sadly, all the checks and balances

are no longer there. Both the house and senate will only serve to further advance the wickedness of Trump. All that is left is the citizenry and we must hope that there will be strength in a sustained resistance. Otherwise we are doomed.

[flamingdem]

9. I agree about staying strong

We must stay strong in every way and use all that's at our disposal. Right shall win out, at least some of the time over these next long years.

[nini]

14. Expect the courts to deal with a lot of this garbage

Until they completely dismantle the Constitution they will have some roadblocks.

[Crash2Parties]

32. The courts which are about to be filled with conservative judges

whose seats have been blocked for up to 8 years by the GOP?

[nini]

41. There's a judge in North Carolina that stopped the governor power issue

Not saying it's going to stop everything but it's going to slow the crap down at the very least as lawsuits are filed etc.. There are some still in place that will do their job by the law.

[Alice11111]

42. Unfortunately, I agree with you...plus, he will pack courts

very fast. We will see the fastest approval of Fed judges in history, and there are many open spots. The Republicans will do that and tax changes before something goes awry. Im usually optimistic, but unless the Dems become as obstructionist as the Republicans, which is not our nature, and I have been proud of that, they are going to change the landscape for decades. Perhaps, it wont matter even if we are obstructionists. A few things will stay, gay marriage, peace Cuba, maybe some Trumpcare (hard time even saying it) will replace Obamacare...so that 23 million won't lose insurance, but, given his appointments, like Jeff Sessions, plus they already have Mitchell McConnell and Paul Ryan, I think it is a sea change. I'm glad we have Pelosi. Harry Reid would not have retired, even with his Med problems, but he expected Hillary to win. Howard Dean should reconsider Dem Chair. We have E Warren, Sanders, but the numbers don't add up. We need people like Reid and Dean who will call them out in strong language.

[sheshe2]

16. KnR

Go Obama!

I hope.

[AJT]

20. WTH

You hope Obama goes?

[sheshe2]

22. Noooooooo

I hope Obama nails trumps ass.

Do we have a communication problem here? I am a 150% Obama supporter on this site. I am a BOG host. Do you have an issue with me?

[classof56]

49. I too am a 150% Obama supporter on this site.

And a 200% sheshe supporter. You go girl!

[sheshe2]

50. Hey thanks my dear.

Wishing you some love in the new year. We will do this together.

Hugs back.

[AJT]

54. Not at all

sorry, I was being a brat, it just read funny.....I know what you meant.

[sheshe2]

55. Thank you, AJT.

Welcome to DU.

[NBachers]

26. AJT, you're not getting off to the best start here . . . Please back up and edit or reply.

[sheshe2]

51. Thanks NBachers.

[MFM008]

33. Just what I expect from this POTUS

class.

[smirkymonkey]

34. What a striking difference in how the two men approach the world.

How did we come from such promise to such absolute failure?

[malaise]

35. Beautiful

Rec

[CousinIT]

37. No worries. Soon, SHItler won't have gracious, intelligent Obama to show him up anymore.

Soon, it will be ALL THE DONALD ALL THE TIME.

Order a truckload of barf bags, we're going from elegant, sophisticated and intelligent to kleptocratic white Russian trailer trash.

Ugh.

[7962]

47. But no one to blame anything on but himself after 1/20! nt

[brer cat]

39. President Obama puts trump to shame in every way.

Thanks for posting this, flamingdem.

[Politicub]

43. Love love love

How he talks about the importance of the citizen. Indeed, he says the role is more important than the presidency.

[Vinca]

45. The Obamas are a class act.

It's like going from a fine wine to Boone's Farm.

[DallasNE]

48. The ACA Has Been Dying A Slow Death

Thanks to the Supreme Court. ACA has failed to contain costs and insurance premiums are going through the roof. At the same time insurance companies are bailing out and the plans that are left are pricy and offer crap insurance. In the last two years my daughter has gone from a gold plan with $750 deductible, with dental insurance to, for the same price, a silver plan with $5,050 deductible and no dental insurance.

The only repair available is single payer and that will never happen. Within 4 years the number of uninsured will be back to where things were before Obamacare came along. Will anybody even notice?

The other items are all solid though. It has just gone unreported the damage the Supreme Court did with the ACA.

[flamingdem]

52. I got a big hike this year but have loved my Obamacare

Very low deductible and copays and monthly. But I realize it's different depending on whether the state has a choice in companies.

I should know but can you explain how the Supreme Court caused the pricing issues? Agree we need single payer, badly

[DallasNE]

56. Supemes Struck Down Medicaid Expansion In States

Without their own exchanges. That means that sick people have to get regular insurance and that drives insurance companies out of the market and all that is left is the crap insurance that people were leaving behind.

In Nebraska my daughter is forced to pay $325 a month for an individual plan with $5,050 deductible and no dental or vision coverage even though she is disabled and cannot work.
