You elected Trump because you think he is wealthy and a good businessman, even though his wealth was given to him.

You act like the Obamas are criminals because they are self-made millionaires, and they were even before his presidency due to book deals and smart investing.

You guys are slamming the Obamas for not going to church (even though you have no way of knowing) while Trump is spending his Sunday morning hate tweeting, and you clearly aren’t at church either!

You think it is wrong for the Obamas to move to LA as private citizens, but you have no problem with Trump’s “Southern White House”.

Trump doesn’t hide what he is.

The Obamas speak the language of the left but don’t live it

You have got to be kidding me. How are the Obamas not living the language of the left? Newsflash: nobody on the left is against wealthy people, as long as they don’t lie, cheat and steal to get there. The Obamas are extremely charitable. You just don’t know this because fox news doesn’t report that. You seriously justified Trump’s behavior by saying he doesn’t hide who he is?

Obama Called Inequality 'The Defining Challenge Of Our Time.' He Didn't Do Much About It.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5866836ce4b0de3a08f808dd/amp
The top 1 percent of all households captured 52 percent of the economic gains in the Obama years, according to research released in June by Emmanuel Saez, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley. The bottom 99 percent have only recovered about two-thirds of the income losses they suffered in the Great Recession. Income inequality is down slightly from its all-time high in 2012, but only enough to return the United States to where it was at the start of the Great Recession.

Median household income rose meaningfully in 2015, but remains below its 2007 level. These numbers may improve modestly as additional data from the final years of Obama’s presidency rolls in, but not enough to change the overall verdict. Obama has failed to meet “the defining challenge of our time.”

But so did Obama. Barely a year into his presidency, Obama began publicly championing austerity: “Small businesses and families are tightening their belts,” he said. “Their government should, too.” He created a bipartisan commission to slash the budget deficit, and advocated cutting Social Security benefits that disproportionately help the poor. When the Bush tax cuts were set to expire at the start of 2013, Obama infuriated then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) when he intervened to maintain the lower tax rates for people making $250,000 to $450,000 a year. For Obama, the political value of cutting a deal with then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was more important than raising taxes on many very wealthy people.

And none of these failures compare to the disaster Obama enforced in housing policy. The 2008 bank bailouts gave the president broad authority to spend money to avert foreclosures. Coming into office, Obama promised to help up to 4 million homeowners by devoting between $50 billion and $100 billion from the bank bailout fund to “a sweeping effort to address the foreclosure crisis.” To date, the administration has spent about $21 billion on the crisis. Republicans could not and did not block additional funding ? Obama just didn’t spend it.

Tragically, as the journalist David Dayen documented in his book Chain of Title, the administration turned management of its foreclosure relief plan over to big banks, which resulted in massive fraud on consumers that the banks would later pay $25 billion to settle. (Dayen argues persuasively that even this settlement delivered little to nothing for wronged homeowners.)

Obama was a disaster and now he gets to be in the 1%.

Exactly

Obama money grab is as crass as trump and more dangerous since it’s being done in the shadows.

And they can do what they want. They are private citizens these days who have both made a ton of money.

...by exploiting the Presidency.

Amazing role models, aren't they.

Like Biden middle-class Joe and his $14 million.

What a crowd.

The Obamas are celebrities and want to be in LA.

Hollywood loves the Obamas. It makes sense they would want to live there.

Someone earlier asked what church in DC do the Obamas belong to.

Anyone knows?

Why do you care? Are you going to stalk them? What a weird question.

The Obamas don’t have a church and don’t contribute to that church, is what you are trying to avoid saying with your “oh a stalker” distraction.

When Barack and Michelle Obama announced they were staying in Washington after eight years in the White House, there was a palpable buzz.
The conventional move for a post-presidency life is back home: a return to roots, a presidential library and distinguished service. No modern president has remained in the nation's capital after leaving office; the last was the ailing Woodrow Wilson in 1921. So the idea of the vibrant, glamorous Obamas - two of the most famous people in the world - living here was a very big deal. Expectations were high.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-obamas-washington-dc-20180717-story.html%3foutputType=amp

So the article doesn’t mention a church the Obama’s attend. I don’t care, but posters who say the Obamas are giving a lot of money to a church have no proof the Obamas attend church.

So what? You don't have to go to a church to give money to it.

So now the Obamas aren’t attending church but writing fat checks to a church.

Oh, no! It's ok for Trump to do it, but not Obama!

How much do Barack and Michelle donate to the church they don’t attend?

Serious question again -- do they even attend church?

Obama's books talked a lot about his sense of connection with God and the AA community through attending services.

Wad he just misleading AAs, Latinos and moderates?

Yes he was, although to be fair, Trump also made himself sound much more religious than he actually is.

I think it's more that people are turned off that they are choosing to be so chummy with Hollywood types.

Have a blessed life with the white elite.

Trumpkins hate seeing a successful black man. It was always about the racism. All Trump supporters are bona fide racists.

First of all, I'm not a Trumpkin.

But I do hate the fact that Ds - who used to be the party of the "masses" - become millionaires after spending time in office.

Tell me this: Are the poor better off today? Have we helped poor blacks and Hispanics? (We can argue about CA offering health insurance to illegal immigrants and the whole uproar over the border. Maybe we can throw in reparations discussions. But at this point, the energy spent on Hispanics has clearly been stronger than the supports shown for our own black citizens imo.)

So here's a black man who spent two terms in office and what follows him is Trump who has capitalized on this growing division between neo liberals and conservatives. And we're no better off . . .

He and his family are hobnobbing with the Hollywood elite, and the streets of DC are still the same. Schools aren't any better. Gangs are still an issue. There are homeless folks scattered about.

WTF was his HOPE all about?

So do I respect him at this point? no - And he got my vote twice. fooled us into thinking he was for the people . . .

This is your Obama:

People talk about Trump voters being “suckers’” but if they are, Obama voters are all day suckers. Imagine living in Chicago in poverty, while Obama hangs out on Richard Branson’s island and buys a second home with a shark tank in it. Trump has ostentatious gold fixtures yes, but Obama has a shark tank for goodness sake. Not seeing a huge difference here except Trump owns it and Obama plays pretend and tells people there is only so much food you can eat. What a slap in the facez

+1.

But the main difference I see is that Trump fooled no one. He is as transparent as glass, take it or leave it.

Obama fooled us all.
