looks at a pivotal year for Obama as he arrives in New York City in the fall of 1981 to begin his junior year at Columbia University. His experiences over that critical school year lay the foundation for his views on race, government, and what it means to be an American, all leading to his eventual election as the 44th President of the United States.

Embarrassing? For your guys, yes (you know your guys — racist, white-supremest Steve Bannon, those scandal-ridden relics Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie — and oh yes, and the vulgar, thin-skinned, pussy-grabber-elect Donald Trump.)

On the other hand, Barack Obama led an exemplary life and brought true class, grace and intelligence to the Presidency. So sorry he’s leaving. This country truly traded way down with its’ next Prez.

Lmao. Yet your side still lost. Super delegates anyone?

ROFL…Obama gave us a more divided America with an increase in mass shootings and the rise of ISIS which he infamously called a JV team. Remember how he promised to close Gitonimo and have the most transparent administration ever? He was Bush 2.0.

Hey Frank, you forgot to thank Trump for the Kool Aid.

And not a single one of these whiny little pro-Trump bitches even tries to defend putting a racist misogynist anti-semitic egomaniac in the White House. Yes, we understand you hate Obama (because he’s black) and you hate Hillary (because she’s a woman). But why is it again, you love Trump? Is it because he’s neither? Seriously, you guys’ debate skills are limited to ‘We Won’ ‘Shut Up’ and ‘Obama… Bad. Hillary… Bad’ Grunt grunt

Oh, you must be looking forward to the film TRUMP in a few years? You know, the one about the spoiled upperclass white kid who was handed everything his entire life and used a $20M loan from his daddy to start a business.

Profiling a President who had his college records sealed? Interesting to see how they get around that.

Still peddling the myth that an African American somehow couldn’t possibly be in an Ivy League school without ‘special help’ and is obviously hiding something (like his birth certificate)? Get a life. He was president of Law Review. Let’s see you or any of your intelligence-challenged Trump loyalists do anything even close to that!

Trump on the other hand, couldn’t cut it at Harvard. And Melania Trump was supposed to have graduated from the University of Ljubljana according to her official website bio —- until it was discovered she dropped out — then that entry was scrubbed by the Trump Ministry of Propaganda.

Second Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded December 15th

If this isn’t a comedy, it’s a HBO 100% tax write off.

Who cares. You know netflix will never release the viewer ratings on this bomb

Sounds like a waste, just like his Presidency.
