IN HIS LAST 5 DAYS IN OFFICE, OBAMA HAS SUCCEED IN DOING PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ANOTHER DIS-SERVICE. I WILL NOT ADD TO HIS PRESS AND PUT THE LINK TO THE NEWS STORY ABOUT ANOTHER PLANNED BETRAYAL
"Effective immediately, Cuban nationals who attempt to enter the United States illegally and do not qualify for humanitarian relief will be subject to removal, consistent with U.S. law and enforcement priorities,"
AS HE APPARENTLY INTENDS TO SAY TO ME, GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU, PRESIDENT OBAMA. I NO LONGER EXPECT ANY HELP FROM YOU AND I AM SURE YOU PLAN TO STEAL MY MONEY. I BELIEVE I HEARD THE WORD TRAITOR USED IN THE STORY I JUST LOOKED AT. THAT IS AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF YOU AND YOUR ADMINISTRATION. YOU ARE IN CUBA GIVING NEWS CONFERENCES AND YOU SHOULD BE HERE IN LAFAYETTE, CA. WE, YOU AND I, HAVE TROUBLE IN OUR OWN BACKYARD

Regardless of where you stand concerning Obama/Biden, today truly is historic time we're living in here in the United States of America. The Obama/Biden presidency was one that was historic. It wasn't marked with personal scandals, on the contrary it was one that was represented with class, poise, and very much taking the highroad with many other politicians would not have. While there are many who deride the Obama/Biden presidency, I think time will eventually put this do it in the proper light alongside other presidents and vice presidents who fulfilled their jobs as best as they could given the political climate of the times. Thank you to the Obamas and Bidens for your public service. Godspeed in your private endevours. #BarackObama #JoeBiden #MicheleObama #JillBiden #Obamas #Bidens #ObamaBiden #ObamaPresidency #AmericanHistory #USHistory #OnThisDayinHistory #ThisDayinHistory #HistoryToday #TodayinHistory #History #Historia #Histoire #HistorySisco

#peaceandblessings #voting #governing #evolving #advocating #activist #communities. This is not an attempt to throw shade at anyone. However, it is @theshaderoom worthy. The exchange between the two was necessary, due to the nature of the subject matter. We all know who is #President. Not trump! @cthagod @whitehouse #vpkamalaharris @comedycentral #BuiltBrokenSystem Once #WeThePeople understand there are far too many of our #electedofficials so comfortable with the #statusquo. Only then will We The People experience the real change, prosperity, equity, justice, and so much more of this life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which was promised. Democrats are too nice to everyone else and horrible to their own. Messaging is clearly not one of the democrat's strongest suits. You don’t have to fight dirty to win a battle. You do have to know how throw the right blow. Democrats, currently couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag. Not because their weak, because they don’t know how to fight to win. Democrats, build ships, with never enough life rafts. Democrats, let me make this abundantly clear. #republican aren’t your dear colleagues nor your good friend on the other side. Democrats, must start seeing republicans and the select few within their party for who they are. #opportunist #obstructionist #insurrectionist #anarchist #fascist privileged primarily Anglo Saxons is hellbent on destroying our democracy on all levels. The real question should be. Who has the real power in politics? #Executive, #Legislative, or #Judicial, are they truly separate but equal. The #ObamaPresidency has ripped the bandage off America’s political problem. The #trumpshow has only exposed us to the world for who we truly are. (Comments below: What do you believe American will be in the next decade?) Will the #unitedstates have to do a name change like so many before for them for their egregious abuses. I got so much to say, so much to contribute, and so much to do. It’s time to #calltyrone 🙏🏾💉😷❤️ (at Yonkers, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXro0NgLiu2/?utm_medium=tumblr

While it wasn’t an official visit, the first occupant of the WhiteHouse to land on the shores of India was Ulysses S Grant, and likely not the last with, let’s say a dodgy sense of aesthetics. The 18th President of the United States, Grant served two consecutive terms in office between 1869 and 1877 and was also the Commanding General of the US Army when the Civil War was won. Soon after his term ended, Grant and his wife Julia set forth on a two-and-a-half-year world tour that aimed to project the US as an outward looking power ready to engage with the world. Grant arrived in Mumbai in February 1879 aboard USS Richmond and undertook the customary trip, on elephant back, to the Taj Mahal in Agra, whereupon the Grants thought it beautiful but not more than the Capitol Hill building. Grant met the then Viceroy Robert Lytton in Kolkata and professed admiration for his father Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s novels. In 1982, the San Jose State University instituted the annual, tongue-in-cheek Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest to award the worst possible opening lines of a novel as a tribute to Bulwer-Lytton’s “It was a dark stormy night” in his 1830 work Paul Clifford.
It remains to be seen what reluctant traveler Donald J Trump, the 45th President of the US on his two-day visit between February 24-26 makes of the spartan Sabarmati Ashram, the Taj Mahal, or the ‘Namaste, Trump’ rally in Ahmedabad where PM Narendra Modi assures there would be “millions and millions” in attendance.
ALSO READ: Namaste, Trump: A timeline of US Presidents' India visits since Eisenhower
Beyond the bearhugs and protestations of great personal bond between the two leaders, this visit carries a more transactional flavour than other recent presidential trips to India. Unlike in the past, a trade deal between the two occupies centerstage, given the context of Trump’s domestic policy priorities. Trump, the self-professed master of deal making has in recent months dubbed India “tariff king” in a tweet pointing towards India’s propensity to heavily tax US exports such as the high-end Harley Davidson motorcycles. India, instinctively wary of trade deals now has more reason to worry considering the deteriorating health of export sector after sector from gems and jewelry to textiles. India’s inability to take any meaningful advantage in return for greater American access to its domestic markets perhaps explains its lack of enthusiasm on this front. But hey, we’re at least talking business. It wasn’t like this always.
President EisenhowerPrime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru receiving US President Dwight D Eisenhower at Parliament House in 1959, before the President addressed a joint session of Parliament: US Embassy in India
The first-ever visit of a serving US President took 12 years in the making since India’s independence. Dwight D Eisenhower, a decorated war hero was welcomed in India as a “Prince of Peace”. The week-long visit was a big success with Eisenhower travelling in an open car with thousands lining the streets. Despite India fronting the distinctly anti-West Non-Aligned Movement, Nehru, the romantic statesman and Eisenhower, the soldier, seemed to have hit it off. Just as Modi might personally show Trump around the Sabarmati Ashram, Nehru in 1959 offered the Eisenhowers a guided tour of the Taj. Eisenhower was lavish in his praise for India from the get-go. “In fulfilling a desire of many years, I pay in person America’s tribute to Indian people, to their culture, to their progress and to their strength among independent nations,” he declared on arrival, adding that it was a personal pilgrimage of sorts. Not only that, in his address to a special joint session of parliament, Eisenhower spoke about American support to India in the face of any external acts of aggression.
It could be that the two had cultivated more than an acquaintance when Nehru was conferred an honorary doctorate by Columbia University in 1949 when Eisenhower was its president. But matters of commerce hardly figured. Perhaps knowing Nehru’s not-so-charitable views on American wealth, there was no business delegation that accompanied Eisenhower—something that’s an essential part of bilateral head of state visits in the twenty first century.
In rising heat of the Cold War the bonhomie quickly evaporated. Nehru’s reciprocal visit to the US in 1961 during John F Kennedy’s presidency was a testy affair given India’s embrace of Soviet Union.
Richard Nixon’s visit a decade after Eisenhower could charitably be described a disaster. It was more a 22-hour stopover than a full-fledged state visit. You only need to scan the New York Times’ pages on the eve of Nixon’s visit to get a sense of its lack of purpose. So wide was the gulf of distrust between the two nations, and India’s inconsequence in the larger scheme of things that none of the issues you’d normally expect—South Asian regional stability, the Indo-Pakistan arms race, unrest in East Pakistan or the Chinese threat—made the headlines. The touring party was more worried about droppings from Delhi’s trees.

“If Mr Nixon rides under clear skies with the top of his bubblecar down, he will have to beware the fallout from Delhi’s ubiquitous Jamun trees. Their purplish bounty, a semi-sour cherry like fruit with a big, hard pit, splatters indiscriminately on heads of passers by these days,” noted NYT. Not many were surprised when declassified US papers showed the contempt Nixon had for Prime Minster Indira Gandhi. The sentiment was certainly mutual. A year later, she returned the favour by not attending Nixon’s banquet for heads of state on the sidelines on the UN’s 25th anniversary celebrations. Jimmy Carter’s visit in 1978 too wasn’t any more memorable than Nixon’s. Carter said he loved reading the Bhagwat Gita presented to him by Prime Minister Morarji Desai. Carter in return offered Desai the two-volume Journal of American writer Henry Thoreau.
Bill ClintonBill Clinton visited India in 2000 in the backdrop of the Kargil war
From 1947 to 2000, there had only been three US presidential visits to India. Since 2000, counting Trump’s, there would be five. It was perhaps an acknowledgement of India’s growing economic and strategic importance for the US. While Bill Clinton charmed Indians in 2000 in the backdrop of the Kargil war and signalled the end to post-Pokhran nuclear test sanctions, substantive gains were made during George W Bush’s visit in 2006 with signing of the landmark civilian nuclear deal.
Barack Obama is the only US president to make two state visits to India in 2010 and 2015. The second, a hastily arranged special invitation as chief guest on Republic Day. In 2010, with Manmohan Singh as PM, who Obama had referred to as a “Global Guru” at a G20 Summit for his leadership in diffusing the global financial crisis, the expectations were understandably high. Both had a reputation of being cerebral. While Obama’s celebrity quotient having become the first Black President of the US with a landslide win was at its peak, Singh too had won a second term in office with a bigger mandate for the Congress Party. The gush of warmth seemed unstoppable. If Clinton de-hyphenated India and Pakistan, Bush invested plenty of personal political capital on getting the nuclear deal through, Obama followed the path of the predecessors with greater vigour. At least that’s what it looked back in 2010. Moreover, in his address to the joint session of parliament, Obama publicly endorsed India’s candidacy for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council—the first US President to do so.

By 2015, the Modi bearhug had well and truly arrived on the international diplomatic arena and Obama was one its early recipients. There was to be no parliamentary address during this short visit, but enough time for the man derided as chaiwala to personally make a cup of tea over a televised tete-a-tete in the lawns of the PM’s residence. The infamous monogrammed Modi suit too made an appearance during that visit. Pomp, pageantry and symbolism trumped over substance.
With a decelerating economy that weakens India’s hands on geopolitical issues, would Trump’s visit too go down that route? Maybe, just maybe, unlike the Grants, Ivanka and Donald Trump might think Taj more beautiful than Trump Towers. One wouldn’t bet on it, though.

Obama Best Moments 8 Years Become President
10. His inauguration
On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama made history when he Officially Became the first black President of the United States. Millions Gathered in the nation's capital to watch as he took the Oath of office and delivered a heartrending but optimistic inaugural address meant to inspire even the most cynical of Americans.
9. "When I touched his hair, it was the exact same as mine"
When Jacob Philadelphia, the five-year-old son of a former White House staffer, visited the new President in 2009, he had just one request: "I want to know if my hair is just like yours." Obama leaned over to let the young boy find out for himself and gave the world one of the most memorable images of Obama's presidency.
8. Obamacare becomes law
Making good on one of his boldest campaign promises, President Obama officially signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act—a little bill more commonly known as Obamacare—into law in March of 2010. But ultimately the Affordable Care Act gave millions of previously uninsured Americans the much-needed health insurance they were once unable to obtain—and that's a very good thing.
7. President Obama responds to tragedy
Following the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December of 2012, America grieved alongside President Obama for the 20 students and six educators who were killed in the horrific act of gun violence. Far too many mass shootings have occurred since then (including last June's Pulse nightclub massacre, the deadliest shooting in U.S. history), and President Obama tearfully recounted Sandy Hook when he introduced a series of executive actions to implement commonsense gun-control measures in January of 2016.
6. The baby Pope visits the White House
Pope Francis and President Barack Obama are set to meet in the Oval Office of the White House on his historic maiden visit to the United States. The pontiff, who played a crucial role in brokering talks between Havana and Washington, was due to deliver his opening remarks to the US on Wednesday morning on the White House lawn, the first stop on the pope's six day visit to the country.
5. The It's On Us Campaign is launched to combat sexual assault on college campuses
The Obama White House became the first administration to take strong action against sexual assault on college campuses and protect young men and women nationwide. In launching the It's On Us initiative in 2014, the President and Vice President called on students, faculty, and lawmakers to take steps.
4. President Obama advocates for LGBTQ rights
In 2012 Obama became the first acting President to openly support marriage equality, so it's no surprise that during his presidency the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the constitutional right to marry. And as numerous states attempted to restrict the civil rights of the LBGBTQ community throughout 2016—specifically.
3. "I know, 'cause I've won both of them"
In his 2015 State of the Union address, President Obama attempted to silence Republicans cheering the final years of his presidency. "I have no more campaigns to run," the President said, as opponents cheered wildly. But before continuing his speech, he pithily reproached his detractors "I know, 'cause I've won both of them." This wasn't the only sick burn of Obama's presidency.
2. "This is what a feminist looks like"
After proudly declaring himself a feminist during the White House's first United State of Women Summit, President Obama reaffirmed his commitment to gender equality in an essay penned for the September 2016 issue of Glamour. "Michelle and I have raised our daughters to speak up when they see a double standard or feel unfairly judged based on their gender or race—or when they notice that happening to someone else," the President wrote.
1. Prince George greets President Obama in his pajamas
In what may have been the most casual approach to diplomacy on record, Prince George met the President and First Lady of the United States in his bathrobe and jammies.
