Obama slams Trump in statement today, praises protester
 

Former President Obama is "heartened" by the protests in response to President Trump's controversial immigration ban, his office said Monday in his first major statement since leaving office.

"President Obama is heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country. In his final official speech as President, he spoke about the important role of citizen and how all Americans have a responsibility to be the guardians of our democracy -- not just during an election but every day," Kevin Lewis, Obama's spokesman, said.

"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."


Lewis also addressed Trump's insistence that his decision to temporarily halt refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries and stop all Syrian refugee resettlement in America is similar to a 2011 decision by Obama.
"With regard to comparisons to President Obama?s foreign policy decisions, as we?ve heard before, the President fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion," Lewis added.

Republicans in the House and Senate are going to get an onslaught of Democrat Tea Party-like insurgents getting elected in the next few years. Many people have been mobilized and a percentage of them will end up in the government.
