Washington Former President Barack Obama on Wednesday offered up his advice for clear decision-making in the Oval Office -- avoid TV and social media, which only"clouds your judgment."
"What you have to do is to create a process where you have confidence that whatever data is out there has been sifted, sorted and the core issues that are going to be important to your decision, you're able to see it around," Obama said during an interview onstage at a technology conference in San Francisco."And that requires not just a good process but making sure you have a team that's got a diversity of opinion. The other thing that's helpful is not watching TV.
Someone would not like to hear this at all but actually that baby needs the advise.
Good morning 💝❤️💕👌💚👄💩💙
En El Salvador las redes sociales alimentan el narcisista, megalómano del payaso nayibbukele
Obama never had to worry about making a clear decision, none of his were clear.
His true secret...Avoid Work
That's a polite way of saying that Trump is doing nothing of value as President.
We will never knew BarackObama is super rich now without Social media ... his Mansion at Martha's Vineyard
That's sound intelligent and logical advice, unfortunately for the country the republican party doesn't believe in either.
Obama the man that didn't want American citizens to vote because the illegal vote was more important. He didn't give a shit about you
So does public school.
Obama the man responsible for hiding Hillarys crimes, and spying on Trump and helping Iran stockpile uranium to make nukes
PeteRepublicans THAT’S a read. 💅🏼
The comedy keeps on coming re hashing your tweets a fortnight later DESPERATION
The ayatollah obama the worst president ever
Well, majority of medias are fine, but foxnews
Obama didn't have to turn on the TV because he already knew what they were going to say. After all, his cronies sent out the talking points.
Wisdom is something trump don't have
A wise man.
Obama must be extremely stupid
I miss Obama being quiet
Learning about this in my visual communications class, it's true whether we agree or not.
Thx Globalist
Clown🤡
Trump does the EXACT OPPOSITE!
I didn't vote for Trump but I like that he responds on twitter so promptly & directly. Few Americans read the official White House press release if/when it is released on a controversial topic. In fact, it seems social media has made DC more, not less, accessible and responsive.
Yeah right. The president should only listen to the bureaucrats, hawks and neoconservatives surrounding him. That's how obama destabilized the Arab world and allowed ISIS to form. This president feels the pulse of the ppl and is starting any wars anytime soon. Deal with it
Trump literally picks people off Fox News to fill spots in his administration.
realDonaldTrump Too late for this advice. We have. TV junkie in the White House. And he likes it raunchy, too. How I miss the Obama days when we had a real POTUS and not a fake one.
you may want to get an attorney because I believe you will be going to jail
Back then this guy was cool but now he is just a monkey on a stick 🙈😸
Right. Stop communicating directly with the American people. Information needs to be processed, sanitized, and packaged for the idiot masses by the liberal ruling class elites in the media. Instead, Trump should only listen to the DC bureaucrat echo chamber. 🙄
Still playing the little dictator role.
Do u think Obama was closed President.
I miss him
Former President Obama offered up his advice for ‘cleared’ decision-making
Check out his IMDB profile 🙄
Obama, the war monger in chief 😂
Your bias reporting supporting a one party state .... and you call yourself Democrats ....
I beginning to think he is talking about Eisenhower
Are you kidding, Trump still thinks he's on a Reality TV show. He's constantly checking social media for ratings.
W Bush said the same thing. To be fair, I don’t think this one could even read an audiobook.
And he's right
and he said Impeach the MF
That's very true. Keep away from influences.
Avoid Obama! He is over smart.
What an awful President said
Or you could surround yourself with people who think like you
Clear decision making:
Yeah right!!, and let all these FAKE news say whatever they want!!, hell no..... good for you realDonaldTrump 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
America needs intelligent people like BarackObama
WGAF
If it weren't for TV, Trump would have no clue as to what's going on. He even said, while campaigning, he gets his information from TV. One of many warning signs that Trump's an idiot.
Trump is UnfitForOffice, his whole life is the TV and social media.
Spoken by someone whose judgement was OFTEN clouded!
Hey CNN thanks 4not properly vetting this candidateback in 2007. He totally scammed the Middle & Upper Middle Class Voters, who voted 4 him. He put his hand in R pockets & killed us on ACA income tax debits from 2012 on. Meanwhile U never exposed his fairly cushy Chicago Life.
TrumphaspenisenvyofObama
trump has penis envy of Obama in particular and black men in general
Yea, get a massive contract with Netflix to spread your rhetoric.
“Muh, muh legacy is not having any clear judgement.”
This coming from the most corrupt and worse presidency in this countries history
WTF he’s a FRAUD a greatest Racist of all time and he’s not POTUS ! Sorry FakenewsCNN TrumpStrong realDonaldTrump is americastrong POTUS !
So is Obama trying to say that the news is always inaccurate and misleading?
He just doesn’t want his name bought up and link to scandels.
Know what else clouds your judgement, Barry? Weed. Huge mountains of weed.
I would like him to be avoided
It's a proper advise,.But can President Obama give an advice to CNN on how to stop vaping about Donard trump from morning to morning please!
Trump is an empty vessel without TV and social media.🤢
From the guy who nearly destroyed America with his BS policies!
Well how are presidents supposed to get this advice if they should avoid social media and don't watch TV? 🤔
“Let me be clear” said the Kenya king over and over,but he never was.
Basically take advice from your political servants who will only tell you that your the best President and your country is paradise when in reality the whole place is on fire Nigeria
...which is exactly why the US now has a circus instead of a White House.
Says the meteorologist... may be those clouds originated in the oval office under his admin and are still hanging over DC, specifically over those who continue to obstruct 45.
Yep fake news CNN will definitely cloud judgment.
The guy who watched SportsCenter on repeat, rolled into the office around 11, and posted endless selfies? That guy?
Wouldn’t a real POTUS and leader of the free world not have enough time to watch TV and follow social media?
wouldn't this make cnn lose viewers if we all just stopped watching t.v because it clouds our judgement from fake news. oh yeah cnn twitter account is fake news.
Says the man who only needed his pen and his phone
Obama should avoid Michelle. Homosexuality is a sin.
How about doing a mic drop and saying 'at least I will go down as a president '? That's ok? Guess what, he's your president.
ok obama
it can talk, it's like a banner like in the wind, sometimes left on the right and then he jumps through flaming hullahub tires he can no longer do a normal job, only through funny medial appearances, earns his money by influenz
So where was he during Benghazi?
Perhaps we should do the opposite of what the worst President in history suggests🇺🇸
Or you can just weaponize the IRS and FBI like obama
So..., will he now tell the facts about who are his bloodrealted family and parents ?
Obama's superior judgement is responsible for 5 new wars and over half a million dead civilians.
So his judgement will go from abysmal to sort of OK. Is that good enough?
Obama lived in his own special world.
President Obama — avoid TV and social media, which only 'clouds your judgment'------------- surila ---- social media and TV - only show the situation where in - decision is to take .
Wasn't Obama using social media when he was president
Wrong
President Obama is all a blur now.....was it all a dream.
Says the worst president ever, gave terrorist over $1.5 billion in untraceable cash, sold American uranium to Russia under the table, sold untraceable guns to Mexican drug cartels, weaponized our top law enforcement against American citizens! Show us your college records pinhead!
Obama is a simpleton
But always use the TelePrompTer so you don’t stutter or go off script
Justin Trudeau blackface of Canadian PM wearing racist makeup
He got part right. Avoid the liberal propaganda press.
The irony of me agreeing with him via social media.
In other words, avoid the Fake News
So what clouded your judgement then?
Nice dig at Trumpet.
President Obama is one of the Greats when it comes to the Cloud. A True United Nations Awaiting.
I understand the sentiment...but I am reading about this from a TV network on a social media platform 😬
A great leader is judged by the people he surrounds himself with, who's character and integrity uplifts every citizen he's sworn to represent with loyalty and safe haven.
BarackObama even if realDonaldTrump were to take your advice, how will a cloud avoid himself?
Worst president in the history of US is advising the best president? Wonders shall never end!
Oh wow....a normal mature adult man!! Totally forgot that species exists.
Wise man, knowledgeable man, and an understanding one to boot! Too bad he can't run again!
Barack you are being very kind inferring that Trump has any “judgement” to begin with!!! I vote NO on that one...he is a reality star, and not a bright one. Insiders say 8th grade intellect...tops!
I'm still a big fan of this charming man.
So giving guns to Mexican cartels, drone bombing civilians, giving cash to Iran, and wasting billions of dollars on your 'Green Initiative' and a website for the ACA is clear decision making?!
Says someone who appeared on tv talk shows quite often during his presidency..hypocrite
OK
Yes but ?!?! How do you feel about using the FBI and the CIA to spy on your political opponent ?
All of us are using social media as a dope a mean substitute. We should be getting our highs from living life instead.
And what's the fucking point of this advice? Who is it aimed at and what is it hoping to achieve? I think POTUS44 Barack Obama is a good man, but this kind of statement is a meaningless headline. We are doomed
Sell out
There is nothing like a quiet place to settle your emotions and really think out a problem. It is a true luxury
Absurd! He/she should relish public opinion of who the public thinks they hare! They put them in office and can have them removed! Our naive view is: “ A government by the people and for the people.” But is it? Then there’s Trump!
Can't wait to vote 2020
I want a President who isn't so ego-weak, ego-feeble, fucked up in the brain to use the likes of Twitter for personal adoration from those conned. I know she will be strong and use this social platform very sparingly.
Odummy
BREAKING :
Oh!Avoid TV & Social media,so the fake news will have their way.If realDonaldTrump has not been using his social media wonderfully well, i fear how he would have survived the 3 year attempted coup from the deep state in collaboration with the main stream media. a.k.a, Fake News
What if the “individual” never had the ability to make an educated judgment in the first place?
By the way, 'FORMER' President Obama, this is the year 2019, NOT The 60,s.
Only puppets like himself don’t watch tv
Not. Avoiding and not knowing will only bring you down in the polls. DEFEND POTUS
I think realDonaldTrump created a whole new era of politics. He's the first president to use media to build he base. I've NEVER seen so many ppl into politics in my life,but if you did you would see that ALL Politicans are CROOKS and LIARS.
President Obama, your argument assumes Mr Trump previously had unclouded judgement. . BarackObama
They shouldn’t give Iran pallets of cash. They shouldn’t lead a war on law enforcement. They shouldn’t lead a spying operation on a Presidential campaign. They shouldn’t put illegals before Americans. They shouldn’t get wealthy off the backs of Americans.
Yeah ..let’s go back to no job growth and higher taxes! fakeNewsCNN
When fisa abuse has you in panic.
This clown is the last person to give advice regarding decision making. What a fool.
OBAMA WE NEED YOU DEARLY, MISS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY LOVE YOU ALL.
Duh fake news.
All of America should heed this wisdom. MSM is corporate propaganda in service of America's oligarchs.
When you were president if it wasn’t for tv you wouldn’t have known anything many times you said you didn’t know anything except what you saw or read in the news
Decision making may have gone nuclear since Jefferson, and Trump is simply caught up in it.
need more evidence ? i can bring up each & every crime they committed in last 20 yrs YOUR ready ?
Why would anyone want advice from the worst President of all time.
Jeeezzz. Avoid fakenews is all yah gotta do
And keep very close tabs on political opponents. Use FBI to spy if necessary .
🎶Barry come back🎶
I thought TV is where Obama got his news
The only thing that “ clouded “ your judgment was GREED for 8 HORRENDOUS years oh and your MISSION to DESTROY AMERICA 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹
Former presidents like old soldiers should be quiet and fade away.
I would have to agree with this. Trumpilstiltskin would never do it. He has to see himself. He likes the Cheeto orange fake bake and raccoon eyes!!
How does he then explain his big bucks Netflix contract? And why does he not want people to use all available resources to get information & share ideas?
How many clear decisions did He make as He avoided TV and social media? Oh, I see, He killed Ghadaffi and helped messed up Africa and then apologized for acting on wrong information...Hypocrisy of the negro and slave master
Trump responds by calling himself the best president the world has ever seen. And he watches the best TV, and tweets the best tweets.
I’ll bet if you REALLY did your homework, you could find for or five of these exact same pieces of advice thrown out WHILE HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT! The discourse is already bad enough...you don’t need to add fuel (dare I say fake) to the fire.
'Avoid talking too much, as eventually your true thoughts will be exposed. Also spy on your political enemies and then blame Russia for everything but don't take any responsibility for ANYTHING'
And, this comes from a wanna be talk show host... LOL
You know you LOVE the daily access to realDonaldTrump . The media has never had it so good and probably never will again. GOP DNC thursdaymorning
Was the decision to not help 4 Marines in Benghazi also clear decision-making in the Oval Office by Obama?
Yet he utilized those two propaganda machines daily to cloud our judgment . He also committed Treason before he left office in order to bring in Socialism under the Hildabeast
Look at all the phony liberals and cnn reporter if trump decided not to tweet anymore than they would be complaining how come he’s not tweeting
Was it TV or social media that made him give $150 million to Iran?
This guy was a cold narcissist.
Meanwhile here is Obama on social media giving advice and trashing trump.
So in short: Don't be DonaldTrump.
Fake former President!
Sound advice, President Obozo
Why should President be afraid of his people?. Indeed you were a President of foreigners.
They should just concentrate on dropping 26K bombs on foreign countries in 2016 alone....and make trade deals like in Buenaventura in which massive displacement of indigs, mass genocide by death squads, dismembering by chainsaw etc., and throwing Multiracial people under the bus.
That mean no one should watch your Netflix series coming out 😏😏
What a hypocrite!
And then for sure you will get the Nobel prize one day - a, one moment, for what exactly?!
I am sure the kenyan followed his own advice! BarackObama
And divide the country along racial lines. And 'communicate' that you do not support the police.
I dont think realDonaldTrump will be listening. Im sure hes already contemplating the first of many tweets for the day.
I would do the opposite of what this guy suggests. Few where ever so wrong about everything.
True lol
