Exactly, people should know their place. Especially Those People. I think we all know that a womans only purpose is to pop out sammiches and make babies.

Given how poorly they've been handling their Keurig Boycotts and their NFL boycott, maybe this will be the one where Conservatives figure out how a boycott actually works (or is actually supposed to work, anyway, since boycotts are shockingly difficult to actually make effective, especially when it involves protesting something that a good portion of the user base actually respects).

No offense, but I'd be surprised if you could come up with a good reason not to like him. There are a few things he's done that I would have preferred he handle way better, but I doubt those will be your reasons. It's just my experience with people who "don't like" Obama. Also, why should a highly intelligent man with the life experience he has just go into hiding? He's a very useful contributor to our society. We'd be losing out if he just buried his head in the sand, especially when the country needs Constitutional scholars more than ever.

I've been boycotting Netflix for years.
I need to find another pub to pat me on the back. I wonder where Min is?

Why is Obama making netflix movies? Seems beneath an ex-president.

He's a "celebrity".

People have been honked off about this sort of thing since at least as far back as the FDR era . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Well, there is the fact that he's a bit too centrist (heming and hawing about ending his inherited wars and the heavily compromised Obamacare being the biggest examples) and seems to hedge his ideological bets a bit too much (still didn't keep the Republicans from destroying the country in an attempt to block him), and also, the drone strikes he's authorised, but even then, it seems Trump already broke Obama's record for drone strikes in his first year and a half!
And that's coming from someone who actually did vote for Obama three times (once in the primary, twice in the national).

I never said anything about going into hiding. I don't agree with a lot of his views and he always just came off super phony/political to me.

Surprise surprise, a president of these united states is "political"..............lol? I wonder if he;d have seemed less fake if he;d stepped up to the podium and addressed congress "fuck you racist haters, stop bitching about me and do work"?
