I never was one of those
who expected Obama to leave with class.
His conduct towards political opponents has rarely exhibited class. Why would he change that now?
With just over a week to
go, he left a nasty rotten egg for Cubans, who tend to be Republican, and Trump
by ending long standing U. S. policy towards refugees from Cuba. And that without any concessions from
Cuba and without any assurances that those returned to Cuba would not be thrown
into the gulag with other numerous political prisoners.
I guess Obama likes the
idea of Republicans and future Republicans in political prison. Contrast this with his almost as
cynical immigration policies on the Mexican border flooding this country with
future Democrats.
This was a truly cynical
spiteful evil act. It demonstrated
an ugliness beyond what even I expected.
And there is yet still a
week to go until Inauguration Day.
Therefore, I give my first
prediction of 2017 – one I hope does not come true: Obama will uncork some over the top spiteful ugliness in
this last week beyond anything a past outgoing president has dared to do.
It could come in the form
of pardons. Presidents usually
offer a number of pardons as they leave office. Bill Clinton offered some awful ones, including the infamous
pardon of Marc Rich. I expect
Obama to outdo the cynical evil of Clinton in his pardons. But I expect more than pardons.
I
think there is even a change that Obama’s last week, the last vomit of Obama,
will be so outrageous that Trump will publicly disinvite him to the
Inauguration.

On
a lighter note, the title of this post is inspired by the phrase “the last
vomit of Satan” said some years back.
Trivia question: What Texas
preacher said that, and what was he describing?
