He's back, Barack Hussein Obama II. The former President chose the University of Chicago in his first public appearance since leaving The White House. As expected, he handled himself like a pro.
President Obama said warned that political gerrymandering is preventing the country from tackling problems like economic inequality, a broken criminal justice system and climate change.

President Trump and DOJ Topper Sessions have fired a warning shot about the imminent danger posed by the so-called rising crime rate. Their fear factors will chill bipartisan attempts to reduce incarceration at the federal, state, and local levels. This scare administration tactic calls into question the trans-partisan nature of decades-long efforts.
How did we go from Build a wall and make Mexico pay for it to Bill a wall to US taxpayers?
Is it possible that the American taxpayer will lose health care and be billed for a border wall instead?
Mexico was supposed to pay for Trump's wall. Now that they won't, will Congress cut health care and Medicaid to fund the wall? Is this stinking wall more important than the health, welfare, and education of every US citizen?
Don't give any more tax money to rich people and corporations. Funds should no longer go towards military spending.

Anything we can't give away after it has outlived its usefulness possesses us, and in this materialistic age, unfortunately too many of us are possessed by our personal possessions.
If we have enough for food, housing, clothing, if we have enough for a certain level of freedom in transportation, if we have enough money or insurance for unforeseen conditions, and if we have enough for the basic survival necessities, we are fine and should be grateful.
Is Sarah Palin a religious person, does she lack common sense, or simply insensitive to Christians?
Could it be considered blasphemy by stating "Jesus was booked" following Good Friday and Ester Sunday? Can we agree this is the American people's house, over 70% of which are Christians?
@SarahPalinUSA says she invited @TedNugent and @KidRock to the White House because "Jesus was booked" http://politi.co/2p0CUgI

Too many people wrongly assume that creativity and being inventive fades with age, but the opposite is true.
I have often watched or encountered age discrimination especially in the media and technical fields. Unfortunately, the frat-boy culture of Silicon Valley has only gotten younger and cockier.
Did you know that April 20 is commonly known as marijuana day? Pot smokers everywhere are celebrating the unofficial holiday of the wacky weed.
This is the marijuana culture's high holiday when folks fly to pot shops in legal weed states to take advantage of sales.
In 1971, a group of students pot-heads puts their collective heads together at a San Rafael High campus in the San Francisco Bay area @ 4:20 p.m. 420 became their code word for pot. It is also common knowledge that medical marijuana is being prescribed throughout the US.
