President Obama stepped back into the spotlight last week with a pair of campaign speeches that left Donald Trump and the White House rattled. And now our favorite former FLOTUS is jumping in too! Trump better buckle up. Not only is Barack Obama coming for him, but his wife is also jumping into the ring […]

Donald Trump is driven by his pathological jealousy and hatred of Barack Obama. More than anything he wants to destroy Obama’s legacy. But Trump is going to fail. I keep reading that Donald Trump is destroying Barack Obama’s legacy. But it’s not really true. Trump has been rolling back some of the Obama-era rules and […]

But eventually it is revealed that the voice of Obama is actually comedian Jordan Peele […]

Barack and Michelle Obama just sent a beautiful handwritten letter to the student survivors-turned-activists in Parkland, Florida. “You’ve helped awaken the conscience of the nation.” On Wednesday, Mic published a great letter written by former President Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama. The letter was written on March 10th and was sent to the […]

This is a worst nightmare scenario for Republicans. Barack Obama is coming back to politics! Republicans were already facing a serious uphill battle to hold on to power in the midterms. And Obama just made that battle a whole lot harder. Since Trump was elected, President Obama has been mostly quiet. He’s spoken out a […]

Finally some good news! Despite the best efforts of Trump and the Republicans to kill Obamacare, more Americans are signing up than ever before.

President Obama warned Donald Trump that he would speak out against him if he went after the “Dreamers.” Trump did it anyway. And now Obama’s got a few things to say. It is a rare thing for a former president to speak out against a sitting president in this country. A very rare thing. Even […]

If you want to see just how far down the road to hell we’ve actually gone, watch how President Obama addressed the Boy Scouts in 2010. Then think about what Trump just did. On Monday night, Donald Trump joined in a decades-old tradition of a sitting president speaking at the national Boy Scout Jamboree. But his […]

Who could’ve ever predicted that one day we’d be longing for the good old days of John Boehner? Lefties hated Boehner when he was Speaker of the House. But one thing Donald Trump and the Republicans have taught us is that things could always get worse….much, much worse. Last week, former Speaker of the House […]

Now this is some good news! Looks like Obama finally saw the bat signal. President Obama has been relatively quiet since leaving office, only speaking out a handful of times. He weighed in on the recent French election, endorsing Emmanuel Macron. And last week, when the Republicans were trying to pass their new healthcare plan […]
