Another strawman arguement.

Add "Scarecrow" to his list of AKAs.

[...] then I think you at least have to ask yourself the question of how consistent you are, and what’s different, and what’s changed.

Well, thanks, Obama! That's an easy one!

Things have changed!

The federal govt. is $14 trillion in debt - if interest rates were to normalize, the govt. would have to declare bankruptcy; dollars are no longer backed by gold; the federal govt. accounts for a bigger percentage of spending than it ever had in the past; a bigger percentage of the population is out of the workforce than ever before; etc.

Regards,

That’s a big IF. We’re trying not to implode here and all Obama can think to do is racebate.

What a great leader! What an honorable American! What a caring human being!

NOT!

Obozo.. the epitome of an EMPTY SUIT.

By comparison you have Trump, not yet inaugurated, and he is already UNIFYING America.

Jim Brown, Ray Lewis Talk of 'Fantastic' Meeting With PEOTUS Trump ( reducing gang violence )
The Hill  | - 12/13/16 02:23 PM EST | BY BEN KAMISAR

Brown and Lewis praised the president-elect after the meeting at Trump Tower. They said they primarily spoke to Trump about Brown's Amer-I-Can philanthropy, which aims to keep kids away from gang violence.

"We couldn't have had a better meeting," Brown said.

"The graciousness, the intelligence, the reception we got was fantastic."

Former "Apprentice" star Omarosa Manigault and Cleveland Pastor Darrell Scott, two of Trump's most prominent black supporters, sat in on the meeting. Scott told reporters that the president-elect gave a "verbal commitment" to merge Brown's program with the Trump administration.

Throughout the campaign's closing stretch, Trump make direct appeals to the black community, promising that he would help make their communities safer as president.

Marxism has no racial or ethnic prejudice; it’s been tried by morons, idiots, and government thieves on every continent.

The fact that it’s been a miserable failure and promoted untold suffering wherever it’s been tried is either lost on or ignored by fools and would-be tyrants for the past hundred years.

The arch-*sswipe, obama, has deliberately chosen to ignore the lessons of history.

That’s exactly his style. He’s always careful to understate things a little bit or to sort of couch things in pitying terms but you can feel his rage bubbling beneath the surface. I wonder if he’ll let it all hang out in his post presidency.

But what I do believe is that if somebody didn’t have a problem with their daddy being employed by the federal government...


Using the term “daddy” is condescending.

Black people have been recipients of targeted handouts from the Federal government for 50 years and it expanded under Obama.

How long is it going to take to get out of America poverty and who ever said that LBJ’s plantation was a “Great Society”?

Owebowma is a real A-hole. That has nothing to do with his skin tone. He’s a race monger of the worst sort.

I wondered what did anyone ever see in him in the first place? When he was campaigning and elected I heard how intelligent, how great a speaker he was, but all I saw was a hemming and hawing phony.

Anyone going to point out that the Obama administration has been an absolute catastrophe for black people, who have fared worse under it than any other demographic?

No Mr Big, as in Mr Bigot Obama.

Middle Class folks worked very hard, long hours in PRIVATE endeavors before Democrats created PUBLIC big government disasters.

You want a quick path to success for your privileged groups.
There ain’t no free lunch.

Obama, you are a control freak and a failure.
