Obama: Biden Is Right That We Should All 'Lower The Temperature' And Listen To The Other Side

  1. The Trump sychophants are just trying to save their own skin, they DON’T care about America or it’s people ONLY ABOUT THEMSELVES

    1. @No Name I’m evaluating Trump as president, and he lies with every breath, Biden isn’t president yet, so I’ll wait and see what he does.

  2. Treatment of the Republicans as civilized is a mistake. You fight fire with fire, before they entrench themselves in power forever using fraud and intimidation

    1. It’s time for the the blue 🌊 to go on the Offensive when the momentum is on their side. It’s time to stop being pushovers. ⚠️⚠️

    2. Fighting fire with fire is always a delicate and dangerous tight-rope act…Integrity is always the first casualty. Sincerely speaking from experience here😔 How can we combat hate with greater hate? How can we put out a fire with an even hotter fire?

  3. Baby Donnie should do the right thing just like ‘Mr. Creosote’ the foul-mouthed, gargantuan glutton that waddles into an exclusive French restaurant and orders everything on the menu, pausing between courses only to clear his palette by vomiting into buckets and on the waiters and other patrons. To bring his reign of terror to an end, unctuous head waiter John Cleese tempts Creosote with ‘just one waff-er thin slice’ more, and retreats to a safe distance as the bilious gastronaut explodes himself all over the restaurant walls, leaving his ribcage and internal organs exposed, and the remaining customers vomiting in a ghastly chain-reaction.

    Utterly repulsive.

    1. Love that visual from Monty Python. I like the Saturday Night visual too of lining up Trumps head between my thumb and forefinger and squeezing till he squeaks. Lol. Jan 20 please hurry

  4. Just the opposite, we cannot work with Republicans because they have a track record of bad faith. As someone who really respects him, I do not understand how Obama could still hold this lazy position.

  5. The other side is not listening and the white, right, extremists see their attempted coup slipping through their fingers and they will poison every well they can. 710,000 cases of COVID in the past 5 days. 17,000 people have died since election day. Yet all they can think of is ‘How can we make this worse?’

    1. Yes, I agree. Also, how can we listen to the other side… when the other side is crazy? They don’t even believe that they are sick from covid after catching covid and suffering from it in the hospital.

  6. One side wants to actively harm every type of minority, be they religious, ethnic, or gender and sexual minorities. To think there’s anything in that mindset worth listening to is naive at best.

  7. Did Obama actually forget all 8 years of his presidency? He constantly made overtures to the GOP, only for them to spit in his face and continue on this corrupt path they are on right now. We don’t have to listen to them anymore, we need change and to stop them from destroying America from the inside out. Unbelievable.

    1. That’s the problem with the Obamas. They are too nice. We are in the mess partly due to the “go high” mentality. Sometimes you just have to fight fire with fire!!

    2. That’s the problem with the Democratic Party in general, they try to play fair but the Republicans don’t. If there is a god, then the Dems win the two run off seats in Georgia to gain majority in the senate with Harris’ vote and push throw lots of new policies. Pack the Supreme Court with 6 new liberal judges, then pass a new law stating that any future judges will have a limit on how long they can sit on the Supreme Court. Time to fight fire with fire.

    3. Well if the Obama administration was filled with corruption then these things are escalated after the fact. I wonder if April 30, 2011, would have never happened would we be so in-depth with the White House and the POTUS?

  8. Obama wants us to listen to the racists?
    How can you make sense of these cultists. These people should be locked up not listened to.

    1. That’s no better than them lol, lock them up??? That’s extreme dude LOL, just send them all to a psych ward. Start mass constricting them like China did hospitals. There are over 73 million of them to go through.

  9. Trump and Republicans are laying minefields for President elect Biden that will keep him busy for years. Come on Georgia and come on 20 January

    1. We got the Senate race in the bag, Trumpers are too butthurt to come out ana vote again, there’s no Trump win riling them up. Dems flipped the state In general, they’re probably gonna turn out even higher come January.

    2. The far left has been coming at this president for four years. The only way the left could win is by cheating and they did. For you left wing supporters you got what you wished for.

    3. @Guy Overy Guess what? Republicans, Independents, and centrists alike have moreso been attacking Trump these past four years. There is no far-left America that holds any influence whatsoever. And no, BLM are not Marxists _(but the are a terror group)_

  10. I had high hopes for Obama, but he failed to prosecute the banksters who perpetrated the biggest heist in the history of planet earth – and WE the taxpayers had to pay for every dollar of it, while they gave themselves record bonuses with OUR money. Sorry – but a LOT of those high hopes fell away in short order. Yes, he did some good work – but he let too many people walk all over him. Now we’re supposed to make nice with the FAKE president’s enablers? SERIOUSLY? People who are TONIGHT taking a crowbar to our democracy? Sorry – I’ll pass…

  11. Wrong I know corporate Democrats and corporate Republicans are friends because they’re both bought out but progressives of the way to go and if you don’t hold people accountable you might as well not have a country or rule of law

  12. Obama caved into his Wall St. election campaign donors in 2009 and failed to make the Wall St. bosses accountable for the global financial crisis. The bosses even rewarded themselves with bonuses paid from stimulus/bailout money. How did that go? The time for playing nice is over. If the other team do not play by the rules of the game then they need to be penalised or sent to the “sin bin”.

    1. No Democratic president will ever achieve anything with Mitch McConnell in the Senate. Or likewise for Republicans with Nancy Pelosi as speaker.

  13. I greatly respect and admire President Obama, but this is borderline delusional thinking. We are dealing with dangerous traitors, not typical republicans from decades prior.

    1. agreed, like trying to be nice to Hitler, hoping Hitler will “come around” and play nice. GOP and FOX will burn bridges, they don’t care about playing nice, they’ve won by cheating, and will continue to cheat, but also GASLIGHT and accuse the Dems of cheating.

  14. I don’t think there’s a compromise to be had with the other side. “Listen” to the other side? After four years of THIS??
