"Yes. Trump doesn’t think before he speaks. He’s not even aware that he’s oppressing people. We really need Obama to speak out and reassure our country that not all of our leaders are incompetent."

"Yes, he should say a few choice words without going for the jugular. That way, Obama will avoid having criticism heaped upon him. He needs to show the country that there are still some sane people in the world."

"Yes. I understand there’s a tradition of respect among presidents and former presidents, but Trump’s behavior hasn’t been presidential. I think the tradition should be disregarded in this situation. I’d like to see Obama stand up for our country."

"Yes. Anybody with a desire for making change should use whatever platform they have. Obama has access to the media. He should use it to make change. I’d also like Michelle [Obama] to speak out. As a feminist leader, it would be irresponsible for her not to speak about what’s happening to abortion rights."
