« on: November 27, 2016, 09:16:28 PM »The link provided is a prime example of how a partisan can read whatever they want into a parsed-up quote.Which American ideals do you think Obama means? Freedom of Speech? Sure, unless a non-profit makes a movie critical of a presidential candidate, in which case Obama felt emboldened to embarrass the Supreme Court, and his party's platform calls for a Constitutional Amendment to silence political speech? That ideal?
Obama's remarks are simple: he'll give Trump room to govern without direct criticism. But he'll be happy to defend American ideals. This is no more or less than any of us would request. Anyone who has the ability to elevate themselves above blatant partisanship could accept that.
How about the ideal of the right to keep and bear arms? You know, the one where his party's platform calls for severe gun control measures, including renewal of an "assault weapon" ban? That ideal?
Show me a democrat who can elevate themselves above blatant partisanship, and I'll show you a liar.
