Amb McFaul tweet; "An Obama and Bush fireside chat... would be a terrific and much needed event..."



Michael McFaul ✔ @McFaul

An Obama and Bush fireside chat on race, tolerance, how to disagree respectfully, American ideals, etc would be a terrific and much needed event right now.

Obama should do this. Obama should do that. He should fetch this, and fetch that. Maybe he’ll wash my car, walk the dog and mow the lawn this weekend.

It’s mindblowing.

Has any former president received the “he oughtta” treatment that Obama has?

...attacking their successors. But no modern US President has had such a lawless and dangerous successor than Obama.

I like the idea of EVERY living ex-POTUS speaking up against the dangerous tack the present POTUS is taking.

when Obama and his family were treated so uncivily by him? Remember when he wouldn't let the Obamas stay at the whatever house so the girls could have a smooth transition to their new school? Please. The only civil person would be Obama and that's a stupid idea, McFaul.
