Thanks for posting this.

Most of that letter wasn't really good or bad ... though this one part was very bad.

"Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable. It's up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that's expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend."

We liberals need to accept something: Obama was not a good president. He was a drone-loving imperialist and a corporate "liberal". We shouldn't pine for the Obama years. Instead, we should try to create something even greater ... because we can.

People like Obama and Clinton pay lip service to feminism and diversity as they feed the Western corporate system of exploitation. Don't be fooled by the "moderate centrists". The world doesn't need moderation or centrism. The world needs radical socio-economic progress.

After that polite letter, then that muppet-handed psycho accuses Obama of spying on him - with zero proof to back it up.

Does Trump actually believe that Obama is spying on him? He's likely pandering to his base.

I'm fairly certain that Obama would just scuttle away to his safety bunker if the world was in danger. I don't think that we mean anything to him.

I think Trump is the sort of nutcase who comes to believe his own lies. So while he might have just been playing up to his base, I think he in time forgot it was something he just made up.

Right after that letter Obama set up a compound right down the street from the WH.

He moved into a home where his daughters could finish out the school year.
But seriously, is that supposed to be evidence that he was spying on Trump?

I don't think that Obama was spying on Trump ... which is unfortunate because people should screw with Donald Trump as much as possible.

World leaders shouldn't have any privacy in my opinion. Giving privacy to people in positions of power is too dangerous.

Oh no. We (i.e. the rest of the world) neither wants nor needs your "leadership". Get over yourselves! You're not that important! Your "leadership" has been an utter disaster thus far, with coups (a.k.a. "regime change"), instability, the support of corrupt and barbarous regimes (ex. Saudi Arabia, Israel, South Africa, Chile), wars, assassinations via drone strike, military bases all over the place, and the deliberate erosion of human rights if and when it suits American corporations, to list just a few consequences of that "leadership" that immediately come to mind.

Barack Obama was a lousy president, because he did absolutely nothing to counter any of this, and actually promoted it. The last normal, decent president you people had was Jimmy Carter, because every other one since has been a power-mad psychopath. Even Nixon was better than Obama, and he was a Republican.

You do of course realise that the more people "screw with" Donald Trump's mind the more unstable he will become, and the more likely it will be that he will do something really stupid (like start a war with Iran or North Korea). Donald Trump shouldn't be "screwed" with, he should come to his senses and stay away from Twitter, and the Democrats should stop blaming him and Russia for their own stupid mistakes (like alienating all their Sanders supporters - now HE would have had a much better chance of defeating Trump, but no, it had to be the corporate drone Shillary).

The "polite letter" is also now a tradition, a part of the process of the outgoing president "handing over the reins" to his successor.

Hmm, yes, "zero proof". I've noticed the accusations and counter-accusations flying left, right and centre over there all tend to have this one thing in common, and yet the mainstream media doesn't seem to care about this, thinking perhaps that if they just repeat the lie often enough it will eventually become true. There is also zero proof "the Russians" hijacked your election process, but if it eventually turns out they did it will merely be just payback for what the U.S. did to Russia back in the 90's when they helped that incompetent drunk Yeltsin to retain office.

There is little I loathe more than hypocrisy. Why the double-standard of "we can influence elections in other nations, but don't you DARE fiddle with ours"?

Like with many accusations such as Obama spying on Trump or Trump colluding with Putin, there's no evidence, just suspicion and innuendo.

All those people working on Trump's campaign and in his administration who have been trying to hide their Russia connections says otherwise that Putin screwing with our election was just suspicion and innuendo, especially with Comey's firing.

No, screwing with the elections of other countries wasn't right. Still, that hardly means I need to give Putin a pass for screwing with ours.
Yes, the DNC majorly screwed the pooch with putting Clinton into the race over Sanders, but that doesn't nullify the likelihood that Putin had manipulated the election for Trump's benefit. The fact that more and more of Trump's people have been shown to have hidden their relationships with the Russians from the media and the public shows that where there's smoke, there's fire.
