Pot On Kettle

President Obama doesn't "recognize" today's GOP presidential candidates.

(He) said in an interview released Monday that politics in America had become “meaner” than when he took office, but expressed hope that Republicans would eventually turn away from the “expression of frustration” and anger than Donald J. Trump and Senator Ted Cruz were offering to voters.

And what has he offered voters? Unconstitutional presidential orders, a sputtering economy, a failed foreign policy, and about 200,000 straw men that he has knocked down to impress his less intelligent supporters.

Meanwhile, Republicans are hoping that the president will eventually turn away from his "expressions of frustrations" of having to actually go through Congress to pass legislation and govern within the bounds of the U.S. Constitution. (And btw, publicly weeping over your failed gun control attempts is no substitute for discussion and argument on such issues.)

It seems to us, and many other political observers, that this President is as responsible as anyone in Washington for the polarization and meanness found in our politics today. He's insulted his political opponents on numerous occasions, going so far as to declare them unpatriotic and cowardly.

Certainly, many of today's Democratic voters are signaling their own frustration with the President's tenure in office based on their growing support for avowed socialist Bernie Sanders over his own Secretary of State.

Having mistaken power for persuasion, this president helped the GOP win historic majorities in both the House and Senate with the help of disgusted voters nationwide.

He own policies and arrogance has helped create creatures like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. If he is truly hoping for Republicans to turn their backs on them, their doing so will lead to a greater likelihood of a Democratic presidential defeat in November.

Yes, here's hoping.

Oh yeah and how obnoxious was this talking about Hillary Clinton during the 2008 campaign…

“We had as competitive and lengthy and expensive and tough a primary fight as there has been in modern American politics, and she had to do everything that I had to do, except, like Ginger Rogers, backwards in heels,” Mr. Obama said. “She had to wake up earlier than I did because she had to get her hair done. She had to, you know, handle all the expectations that were placed on her. She had a tougher job throughout that primary than I did.” 

Oh, Hillary Clinton is Ginger Rogers. And he's Fred Astaire!



I don't think so.
