HOW CAN WE MISS HIM IF HE WON’T GO AWAY? Obama weighs in as travel ban fury mounts.
After a weekend of chaos at airports, mass protests and diplomatic outcries, criticism of Trump’s proposal even came from Barack Obama, who broke his silence for the first time since leaving office.

“Citizens exercising their constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake.”
To his credit, Obama did make it a week and a half before deciding we couldn’t go on without him.
