Said at his last press conference yesterday:

“Both [of my daughters] have grown up in an environment where I think they could not help be but patriotic, to love this country deeply, to see that it’s flawed but see that they have responsibilities to fix it, and that they need to be active citizens and they have to be in a position to talk to their friends and their teachers and their future co-workers in ways that try to shed some light as opposed to generate a lot of sound and fury.

“I expect that’s what they’re going to do. They don’t mope, and what makes me proudest about them is they don’t get cynical. They don’t assume because their side didn’t win, or because the values they care about don’t seem as if they were vindicated, that automatically America has somehow rejected them or rejected their values.”
Yes, it has to be said that his actions on leaving office have thus far displayed a degree of petulance that is remarkably unattractive.

The pardoning of Bradley Manning is little short of disgraceful and done purely as an act of virtue-signalling. Although I suppose that is at least appropriate given that virtue signalling was his route into the White House.
