Full title: Obama: Limbaugh, FOX News Created Environment Where Republicans Would Be Punished For Working With Me
In an interview with NBC's Lester Holt, President Obama said Republicans didn't work with him during his presidency because they feared Rush Limbaugh or FOX News would "punish" them.
"Well what is true is the ability of Republican leaders to rile up their base, helped along by folks like Rush Limbaugh, some commentators on Fox News I think created an environment in which Republican voters would punish Republicans for cooperating with me," Obama said.
(snip)
Lester Holt told Obama he has a "good game face" and plays it cool but asked if he has a "vindictive streak" because he learned politics in Chicago. Obama said no, but he "can curse like a sailor behind closed doors sometimes." Obama said he also tries to get in the mindset of his opponents when it comes to issues like abortion and that "dissipates" the anger. .....
"My staff and my wife will tell you that, what you see is sort of what you get with me," the president answered. "I tend to be somebody who focuses on what it is that I wanna get done as opposed to focusing on whatever grudges have developed."

More puking rot at linked source, if you can stomach more of this kind of stuff .....
‘sit at the back of the bus’, either way.
I tend to be somebody who focuses on what it is that I wanna get done as opposed to focusing on whatever grudges have developed.”
Projection to the max.
Of course, nothing is obama’s fault... mr perfect must stay up late just to find scapegoats for all he’s done.
They gave him everything he wanted in continuing resolution after continuing resolution.
They did not sue to stop him from illegally legalizing illegal aliens in 2012 like they should have.
He could not have even usurped the office he was ineligible for without their assistance.
And there are idiots that actually buy this snake oil salesman.
6 more days til this POS is GONE! Obama can go on TV and TRASH Fox News and the rest of the Commie media applauds him..Donald Trump calls CNN “Fake News” and everyone gets their panties in a wad..there is NO media anymore, just propaganda
Thank God for Limbaugh and FOX News.
Did it ever cross his mind that the Democrats didn’t work with Bush because of ABC, CBS, NBC. NYT, WP, and universities riling up the Democrat base?
“interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, President Obama said Republicans didn’t work with him during his presidency because they feared Rush Limbaugh or FOX News would “punish” them.”
Actually, U.S. citizens and most republicans simply refused to buy into the Obama lies, the deception, and the preaching of hatred for America, and I say, bravo for them, bravo for the Internet, bravo for Foxnews, and bravo for Rush. Thank God we have them.
Like Quisling and Petain were punished.
His desire for Republican cooperation was merely to get their fingerprints at the scene of the crime so guilt could be shared and thus disposed of.
“focusing on whatever grudges have developed.”
His whole life can be summed up by the word “grudge”.
Rush got GOP Sent to Corner by Barry O for Time OUT!
What a load of manure!
In his first 2 years, he had the Senate and House, so we got that Obamacare travesty.
In the remaining years, what did the Republicans ever deny him? He got every budget — some with even more $$$ than he requested.
They were afraid alright — afraid of him and being accused of being racists if they didn’t give him everything he wanted.
The USA and the world would be FAR better off if the pubbies had changed their mind and impeached and convicted the LIEberal sonofabitch!
Curses like a sailor. I resemble that remark.
What is an “Obama” and why does it speak?
If an Obama speaks to the MSM, will anybody hear it?
Yes, I said “it”.
Curses like a sailor. I resemble that remark.
5 + more days..
Til this POS is gone
...wave bye bye to the lying petulant puke Soros puppet.
Notice the media collectively laughing at a Trump presidency...while at the same time trying to figure out their savior Obuma's legacy.
...let me laugh right back at them with the answer to that little "legacy" thingy...
...Trump(and the destruction of the demonrat party at the fed/state/local level)IS Obama's legacy...
...just as an unaccomplished-nobody like Obama was a product of Bush's failures and f'ups.
Just proves the country is starving for REAL leadership, not establishment party hacks or puppets for globalist vampires.
