Replying to @thehill
Little bothers me more than men who were president for 8 years - wielding the most powerful office in the world - doing little to nothing about problems many of us were yelling about at the time, then pontificating afterwards like elder statesmen whose wisdom should impress us.

What you understand about politics and race couldn’t fill a thimble. Sit this one out.

You seem to not account for the tremendous impact becoming the first black president has had on minorities around the world. Moreover, you fail to consider the obstructionist political climate he faced during his presidency. His power was not without limits.

Obama failed our country.
I don't think you should be wishing for him to shut up. You should join the call for solutions (unite with others seeking the same goal) instead of this particular tweet, which is really really useless, and appears that you see him as your "rival" in producing ideas as solutions
He did something about healthcare which is a pretty big lift. Not a perfect plan but it was a big step forward.
I understand the frustration, but try to imagine what kind of success Obama would have if he tried to make serious changes to law enforcement. Hell, the guy wore a tan suit one time and almost got impeached!

If I could give this multiple likes I would.
