Obama says Fox News viewers are living on 'different planet'
Fox News ^ | 1/13/2018 | Hannity

Posted on 01/13/2018 6:25:15 AM PST by cq

Former President Barack Obama resurfaced on Friday and took a shot at Fox News viewers, saying they’re “living on a different planet” than people who consume mainstream media.

Obama made the remarks on the premiere of the new monthly Netflix series “My next guest needs no introduction with David Letterman,” which hit the streaming service on Friday morning. Early in the episode, Obama asked Letterman about his retirement but the veteran talk show host quickly let the former president know who was boss.

“Now here’s how this is gonna work. I’m gonna ask you stuff, and then you respond to stuff,” Letterman joked.

Letterman then asked Obama what he considers the more dangerous threat to a democracy, the president demeaning the press or a foreign power sabotaging the voting process. Both options are clearly jabs at President Trump and Obama answered without mentioning the current president’s name.

“One of the biggest challenges we have to our democracy is the degree to which we don’t share a common baseline of facts,” Obama said. "If you watch Fox News, you are living on a different planet than you are if you are listening to NPR.”

There was a newspaper article in the 90s with the title “Are there Klingons around Uranus?”. Apparently they did not read it out load to see what it sounded like.

What he is saying here is to destroy real history in favor of facts that socialist agree to. Be VERY careful here with this comment from Obama because this gets to the heart of who he and his ilk are.

I wonder if Weird Al realized he was making fun of a religion when he said the line "jacuzi in me back yard". Jah refers to "God" in the Rastafarian religion where they believe if a black man is elected president he must be the "second coming of Christ".

Gee, I wonder how many Americans even heard this interview, three or four maybe?

Obama is an awfully weak resistance leader, if he gives an interview to an ex-not-so-funny-man, Letterman, on Netflix?

He's right though in his assessment. I've listened to NPR a couple of times and those people are from another planet.

No, make that another universe.

Shouldn’t this traitor, fraud and seditionist be in prison for the rest of his worthless, malignant life?

No, he can be interviewed from prison, even in exile. To shut him up, he must be forcibly shut up for good.
