It is a time
honored tradition for an ex-president not up for reelection to leave town
Not since
Wilson who was in ill health and dying from a stroke have we seen an
ex-President hang around
Bush junior
departed for his ranch, Clinton when not shaking down speaking fees headed to
New York City
Bush senior
headed up to Maine to jump out of planes as an aging Walter Mitty
Reagan flew
off the his beloved California ranch
Carter was
back in Georgia to harvest peanuts to roast or blanche
Ford went
back to Rancho Mirage to write, golf and speak
Almost ran
with Reagan as his VP to the Blair House seek
Nixon resigning in disgrace
Would not in
Washington show his face
Johnson
disheartened by the War in Vietnam back to his Texas ranch went
Ike retired
to a working Gettysburg farm near the Gettysburg battlefield
But when
asked by JFK or LBJ for advice his view of military operations he revealed
Truman to
Independence, Missouri went back
To live in
his mother-in-law’s home as money he lacked
Obama under
the guise of allowing his daughter to finish school
Has departed
from that tradition to rent a mansion near the White House to be a shadow
government tool
He has from
another time honored tradition for ex-presidents chosen to deviate
Thrown
himself fervently and without hesitation into the anti-Trump debate
Following
the principles of his Olinsky inspired community organizing past
Obama with
his Organizing for America and its 30,000 members is conspiring to make his
legacy last
Violent town
halls as the repeal of Obamacare is being debated
Spreading
false news that Trump’s election was tainted
Flynn was the
first victim of the OfA campaign to Trump’s success prevent
Pudser was next
and Gorsuch in the left’s cross hairs watch for “spontaneous” riots to be
violent
Dr. Suez
said in best in an order this feckless president should heed
Marvin K.
Moody time for you to go, your shadow government none of us want or need
