This man slanders your character, your presidency, your family, and your accomplishments yet Obama refuses to even make a slight diss at Trump. How does he do it?

Because not responding will actually piss off Trump more. Trump wants a war of words, he wants twitter disagreements. Not giving him that is doing more damage than words ever could.

Because he's progressive. As progressives, we're taught to take the high road. Unfortunately, this also causes progressives to lose a lot. It's hard to succeed in life when you're constantly trying to be fair, and honorable.

High road? You mean that time when Obama lied about Russian interference in the election and told Trump to put on his big boy pants...only for it to come out that Obama knew about Russian interference but stayed quiet to help Hillary?

Or when he compared Trump to Hitler? Or when Obama essentially said "nyah nyah Im president and you're not" - that high road? lol. 

Yeah, what a high road. Not that Trump took any sort of high road with Obama, so its fair.
Yup.

Fucking troll.
Him staying quiet HELPED TRUMP.

The investigation made TRUMP LOOK BAD. So Obama decided to hold off and give Trump a fair shot at the election. Are you fucking dense?

No, it didn't. He stayed quiet so he wouldn't be perceived as helping Hillary. He also didn't just stay quiet, but lied to the American people about it. He knew in August, and lied in October. But of course, that's okay with you. 

In fact, according to a Politico article, Obama knew of Russian attempts to interfere as early as 2014. But in October of 2016 he stayed quiet so he wouldn't be perceived as helping Hillary.
Yup.

No it won't.

.....Because we'll never know what he'll thinks of his successor. They won't let him use Twitter from prison~.

So you admit that the investigation findings hurt Trump.

Because at the end of the day, he knows, the American people know, and Trump knows, that he's better than him. So he doesn't have to say anything.

The "don't criticize your predecessor/successor" is an unspoken rule. Maybe he'll have a change of heart once Trump leaves office.

He's been criticizing Trump the entire time, what are you on about? He's also been undermining Trump by visiting world leaders. GWB didn't do that to Obama.

More like none of them invited Bush - as he is a very simple, uninteresting rube.

I see you're unfamiliar with kiddy groper Joe Biden. Of course, you're probably okay with Joe Biden creepily petting and massaging little kids because he's a Democrat.
Yup.

It's veiled criticism at most. He seems scared shitless that institutions are at risk.

I've made it clear numerous times that Obama's foreign trips should be cordial and TED talk-like, not backdoor diplomacy.

They just want someone who can speak the language of deep-dive policy and diplomacy without violating the Logan Act. A president has to want to do these things though. Clinton and Carter want to be active and so will Obama. Being a Bush and fading into the bushes doesn't contribute much except intrigue, an occasional humanitarian effort, and weird paintings.

I thought he has insulted Trump.

Didn't he say if Trump won he considered it a stain on the American people and his legacy?

And say we have no American leadership at the moment just a few weeks ago?>?

high road? the affirmative action president has taken the low road since before Trump even ran. his ego was so fragile that Trump disapproving on twitter was enough to send him into a fit of rage.
