Barack Obama, pathetic at three levels
PowerLine ^ | May 13, 2015 | Paul Mirengoff

Yesterday, as John noted, President Obama took a swing at Fox News during a conference on poverty. Obama said:

Sadly, I think there’s been an effort to either make folks mad at folks at the top or to make folks mad at folks at the bottom. And I think the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, who don’t want to work, lazy, undeserving, got traction. And look, it’s still being propagated.

I have to say that if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, it is a constant menu, they will [present] folks who make me mad. I don’t even know where they find them. They are all like I don’t want to work, I just want a free Obamaphone or whatever. That becomes an entire narrative that gets worked up.

Where did Obama come up with this? Does he watch Fox News “on a regular basis”? Surely not.

[Snip]

This is vintage Obama. First, he’s dishonest. His assertion about Fox News is an invention.

Second, he’s unpresidential. It’s beneath the dignity of his office for Obama to whine about a cable news network. This isn’t the first time Obama has gone after Fox News. Each time he does, he makes himself more pathetic.

Third, Obama is unserious. Poverty is an important issue. It deserves serious discussion.

... I'll bet you Freepers can think of more than the three reasons given in the article as to why the Royal Oaf is indeed pathetic!

Troof hurts; there is no shortage of “his” people that have sat out the economy for decades; successive generations have never seen a W-2 or owned a book.

“Barack Obama, pathetic at three levels”.....

Better fix that to read, “pathetic at ALL levels”.

He is a public embarrassment, and I’m glad world leaders don’t mind making that clear to all...

No doubt about it. However, perhaps "pathetic" misses the mark.

...it is a constant menu, they will [present] folks who make me mad

This isn't merely pathetic, it's pathological; it's dangerous beyond comprehension. It's a threat to the Republic and to the Constitution.
Such undignified whining and petulance may be pathetic coming from a fool like me; coming from the man holding a chainsaw to the jugular of freedom, it's terrifying.

He isn’t pathetic. He is actually quite intelligent. He plays class warfare and disinformation like a champion. He is divisive. Everything he has done and will do is by design because he has contempt for our country. He doesn’t like our country because he was raised to believe that our founding was by old rich racist Christian white men. If you want to understand him, research Rules for Radicals by Saul Alynski.

Wow, maybe in the ‘wag the dog’ scenario, no one ever thought the dog would turn around and bite his own tail.

Obama is destroying the USA and freedom. But this communist couldn't do it if we had a media that actually reported news .The media doesn't report news but only events that help its cause of advancing Obama’s and the democrat party's agenda. The media creates the false reality we live in and helps Obama in every way possible.

the media doesn't cover:
1. That the FCC and Obama are about to take over the Internet on June 12 . Obamacare on steroids for the Internet. This will affect everyone but the media hides it.
2. The TPA or TPC obamatrade that Obama will use to flood the USA with hundreds of millions of immigrants
3. Obama using the IRS to crack down on conservatives.IRS scandal:.no coverage
4. Obama’s abuse of power in using Executive amnesty
5. Benghazi

the media gives massive coverage to
1. anytime a cop kills a black guy
2. tom brady and inflategate “underinflated footballs in a football game” .wtf?: distraction.
3. Ebola . what happened to that “epidemic”; so this is a hoax.
4. anytime a celbrity dies: to distract us
5. global warming. Hoax

These 5 examples don't affect any of us because most of them are hoaxes (statistically non-existent, flukes,or downright lies) . If something has a 1 in a billion chance of happening then it's not real and should not be the top news.

I disagree. He cant articulate anything including his socialist dogma without notes and a teleprompter. He is a puppet of wise men who are using him to be the face of the death and destruction that is coming

I laugh when he says the 1.5 million of his people missing from society would be parenting if they weren’t dead or in prison.

It’s just the enemy islamist in him. The worship of a pedophile.
