You say "From what I have read, Obama has positioned himself two blocks from the White House for the expressed purpose of working to contain and defend his legacy."
I would love to see WHERE you read the part about the "expressed purpose" because this goes back to May of this year...quite a while before the election...
" President Obama and his family plan to move to a mansion in the upscale Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, a mere two miles from the White House, when he leaves office in January, according to people familiar with his plans.
Mr. Obama, who has said his family will remain in the capital until his daughter Sasha completes high school in 2018, "

Your post paints this as a nefarious move, and maybe it is, but if so, it was conceived pretty far up front with a built in reason to be there.
Midnight Express, as you pointed out, is nothing new or original.
BUT it is worthy of looking at....I just have a problem with presenting something that appears to be not what is really is.
Sorry if this offends. I know, as you said, you think I am falling you but read this and thought I had read quite a while ago about the residence location quite some time ago.
PS....I might also mention that I would be careful in quoting Putin. He is a master of deception and not exactly the bastion of truth |
I suspect like me you read a lot. So you place me at an disadvantage to task me to cite such publication. I did go back and try to find the article but its absent. So I understand your questioning and I am not offended.
Nevertheless again, I repeat Obama plays Obama with his head fakes, which by the way, he is horrible at, and only gets away with it because of the media such as the New York Times. Again the article stated his real agenda in staying in Washington DC was to protect his legacy. You reference he made the decision in May. Guys like Obama, Trump etc are looking ahead more than one year out? Do you honestly believe that it is Trump's election that has created Obama's concerned about his legacy.
Obama's hard left push was a major paradigm shift for this nation. And it has been apparent from the start that Obama was building a house of cards (ignore congress, pen, phone fiat)
anything and everything Obama has done for 8 years was to satisfy his ideology and not to serve "we the people" In simple terms the first person knowing his/her performance is not meeting expectations is the person not meeting expectations...its basic management 101. Obama knew he was failing the nation but he didn't care and chose his ideology and kow towing to the elite few.
Do you suppose Obama was formulating his agenda when he first started running for office a few months before being elected? Of course not these guys are always thinking in long terms.
Make no mistake about it Obama would have been a dictator. He does not want to give up power and he wants his legacy/ideology to remain intact and everything he has done and is doing now points to that reality ergo the last minute rulings that will take future administrations years to untangle
You use the term nefarious move. Everything Obama does has shown that to be one adjective to describe him. You state watch Putin he is deceptive. I agree but so is Obama..if you want you to keep your... and also ask Israel
There is also no doubt that Obama will continue to lean on Trump's every move to delegitimatize Trump's election /Admin, etc and once again to reinforce his legacy
