Our juvenile president cannot resist any opportunity to trash-talk his opponents.
Barack Obama on Monday gleefully mocked the Republican presidential candidates who have called him weak on the world stage, suggesting the would-be tough guys “can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators.”
“Let me tell you, if you can’t handle those guys then I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about it,” Obama said during an Democratic fundraiser at the Richard Rodgers Theater in Manhattan, drawing laughter and applause from a crowd of more than 1,300
supporterstrained leftist seals.
A few points:
- This Last time I checked, the Russians had taken the Crimea, their bombers are buzzing our Pacific Coast, their submarines are lurking around our undersea cables, and they’re doing the job Americans won’t do in Syria. The Chinese are sending fighter jets to buzz our Navy ships and building a military base on the Spratly islands, Tell me again, Mr. President, how worried the Chinese and Russians are about dealing with you.
- The Republicans are standing up to the media, and it’s working. The networks are backing down to the party’s demands, and the candidates who told off the moderators are doing quite well, thank you very much.
- This coming from a president who is completely obsessed and butthurt about FoxNews for not behaving like the devoted, cult-like sycophants the rest of the media are.
- Candidate Obama, in 2007, absolutely refused to participate in a debate hosted by FoxNews.
The mark of the narcissist is he cannot conceive of anything that doesn’t already match his view of the world. Obama is clearly a narcissist.
When the rest of us look at what the Republican candidates did to the CNBC moderators, see how the crowd there agreed with their assessment, cheering the candidates and booing the moderators, he sees them unable to handle them. This from the man who took a reporter to task for commenting on his ears.
The rest of us see an economy that has had the longest recession since WWII under his watch, and he sees one that would have been SO much worse had it not been for him saving us from that evil, evil Bush II. And we clearly see the causes of that recession: Obamacare and it’s crushing taxes and rises in premiums, which makes companies reluctant to hire full time employees. He sees a person hired as part time, and sees a person hired.
We see a nation that is too dependent on government handouts of other people’s money, particularly the money of future taxpayers in the form of a doubled national debt, and he sees a victory in government programs. Now if he can just get those greedy people to cough up more of the government’s money…
We see a party that is supposed to be opposing his excesses basically laying down and doing nothing to stop it, and a few outsiders–Trump, Carson, Fiorina–and true renegades–Cruz, Paul–telling both the press and their own party that things are going to change, and he sees people who can’t handle the press.
Oh, I think they can handle them quite well, and it’s about damn time, too.
I am constantly flabbergasted at how out of touch with reality this man is. And people just follow…..it seems like he is bordering on needing to be impeached for dereliction of dut and truly endangering this country. . Unfortunately, that’ll never happen….
And yet, his almost-anointed replacement is far worse. At least BHO has used e-mail in a non-federal professional capacity before (and as such, can at least theoretically grasp why having a private e-mail server in his continually-protected home in Chicago wouldn’t be a good idea). He has driven a vehicle this century. And thanks to The Oprah Winfrey Show, we know that he has been tasked with household issues (eg, ant infestations) in this century.
None of those things can be said for Grandma Cankles. It’s a sad day when the octogenarian head of state for one of our oldest allies is more “with it” on modern-day life than the proposed successor to our head of state. And she’s supposed to represent The Future?!
I am really sick and tired of BHO… he’s an a$$hole by any definition.
At least January, 2017 will put someone else in the Oval so we won’t have to hear so much from this jerk. Of course HRC will get tiring pretty quickly, too.
Are we ready to break the country into several pieces, yet?
Our Precedent is a think skinned narcissistic clown. He has made this world such an incredibly more unsafe place since his Immaculation. Even more disgusting than what he said is the fact that he was roundly applauded for saying it. America, I hardly recognize it any more.
But anyone who criticizes him gets labeled a racist.
He’s petty, narcissistic and frankly lacks compassion. I think it demeans the office to make fun of the other party especially when his own refuses to let Fox moderate a debate and cancelled the Fox debates because they might be mean during other elections.
