In a lengthy and slobberingly wide ranging interview the faux-intellectuals at Vox.com have succeeded at giving President Obama yet another opportunity to explain why nothing is ever his fault and is usually the fault of people who disagree with or oppose him.
Ezra Klein, chief minister of propaganda from Vox was happy to sit down and discuss several popular liberal bugaboos with the President. We'll share just a few snippets of their incredibly close-minded and one-sided interview.
On Why Income Inequality has Gotten Worse under Obama
Well, this has been at least a three-decade-long trend. And this was a major topic in my State of the Union address. We obviously came in at a time of enormous crisis, and the first task was making sure we didn't have a complete global economic meltdown. The steps we took, whether making sure the financial system was functioning saving the auto industry, encouraging state and local spending all those things made a difference in buoying the economy
In some ways we're now back to the position where we can focus on what is this longer-term trend, and that is a larger and larger share of wealth and income going to the very top, and the middle class or folks trying to get into the middle class feeling increasingly squeezed because their wages have stagnated.
Now, there are a whole bunch of reasons for that
Why is he the Most Polarizing President Ever?
Well, there are a couple of things that in my mind, at least, contribute to our politics being more polarized than people actually are. And I think most people just sense this in their daily lives. Everybody's got a family member or a really good friend from high school who is on the complete opposite side of the political spectrum. And yet, we still love them, right? Everybody goes to a soccer game, or watching their kids, coaching, and they see parents who they think are wonderful people, and then if they made a comment about politics, suddenly they'd go, "I can't believe you think that!" But a lot of it has to do with the fact that a) the balkanization of the media means that we just don't have a common place where we get common facts and a common worldview the way we did 20, 30 years ago. And that just keeps on accelerating, you know. And I'm not the first to observe this, but you've got the Fox News/Rush Limbaugh folks and then you've got the MSNBC folks and the I don't know where Vox falls into that, but you guys are, I guess, for the brainiac-nerd types. But the point is that technology which brings the world to us also allows us to narrow our point of view. That's contributed to it.
Gerrymandering contributes to it. There's no incentive for most members of Congress, on the House side at least, in congressional districts, to even bother trying to appeal. And a lot of it has to do with just unlimited money. So people are absorbing an entirely different reality when it comes to politics, even though the way they're living their lives and interacting with each other isn't that polarizing. So my advice to a future president is increasingly try to bypass the traditional venues that create divisions and try to find new venues within this new media that are quirkier, less predictable.
One thing you've probably noticed is that President Obama wasn't able to find any reason that he might bear some responsibility on either of these problems. If you go on to read the entire interview (series of interview actually) you'll find that this trend continues. President Obama seems to be literally incapable of understanding that he does bear at least some of the responsibility for our current struggles on these and many other issues.
Credentials for this job must be presented and he has his locked away. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Barry is a fraud!!!
Living in a “dream world”. Um......the “buck” really stops with you Mr. Obama!
"Thou shalt not speak, neither thinkest thou, any word or thought against Thy Lord And Savior The Obama, The Messiah, The Won, lest thou be revealed as racist, and other diverse names besides."
Here endeth the lesson.
The parasitic sociopaths will go away when we go back to living according to the Constitution of the United States.
When the scu*bags begin to play the role of brilliant intellectual you can bet there’s a whole lot of money at stake that is not theirs, and it takes the form of scads of tax money that is the spoils of their class warfare routine.
If they had any brains they would go out and work for a living but they can do better for themselves at politics because they hate the ordeal of individual growth and effort.
IMHO
Once enabled, Obola no longer is under accountability.
No, I generally tend to ignore them. But they can't raise my taxes or force me to buy worthless 'insurance.'
Obama: “Because I’m Black! Blackety, blackety, black, black......black, you bunch of raciss Infidels!”
That’s why.
That was my first thought as well..... That’s the one and only reason.
Obama is disgusting. Disgusting in a similar way as when your dog vomits, if your dog doesn’t “clean it up” himself, somebody else has to do it. Obama has vomited all over our country.
I could not have said it any better. . . .
Well, this has been at least a three-decade-long trend. And this was a major topic in my State of the Union address.
I think we've found the problem.
We Have Become Obama’s Guilt Therapy

His progressive mask of "tolerance and compassion" has slipped.
==============================================
Obama's is the face of the new fascism.....the mask of vaunted liberal " tolerance and compassion" slips....what we are witnessing is pure evil.
Progressive poison is being forced on our once-proud Nation-- a Nation bludgeoned by progressive evil. The frightening silence of the left is telling....even they know where we're headed.
Progressives' fatal flaw is that they are emotionally disturbed---w/ an obsessive need to "feel good" about themselves. Obama obsessively whines about "helping those who are under-served," those who feel "left out" of the process, etc....forcing we the people to foot the bills for his pathetic emotional needs
Obama's Progressive "vision" has several major flaws:
<><> failing to see that people are not intellectually equal---some are vastly smarter than others. Let's see the Ferguson punks run a major company...or even a fast-food joint.
<><> failing to see the existence of evil---Obama equates today's in-your-face Islamic barbarism w/ far-off events that his diseased mind regurgitates from a 1000 years ago.
<><> cavalierly dismissing America's exceptionalism---Obama extinguished a beacon that once lit the entire world.
<><> failing to grow-up---the fact is, he's no longer a campus radical itching for a confrontation in the dean's office.
I don't believe one iota of what this dishonest fraud says and don't think for one second that he was ever qualified to be president. He is an anti-American interloper foisted upon us by the equally dishonest democRAT party to further their agenda. The time when he finally leaves the infestation he has created in the White House can't come soon enough.
Obama's got the required progressive organ (no, not that one) ---- he's got a (sob) "Heart of Gold." I just hope Big Pharma does not run out of digitalis to keep progressive "Hearts of Gold" beating (sniffle).
==========================================
Oops--Obama forgot to take his digitalis before calling his broker.
"I only ran for president to get my hands on billions of tax dollars.
Michele and I will live like royalty when I get outta this frickin' WH."
Narcissists never accept any responsibility for anything.
(You’re right, he is ineligible and our entire political and judicial establishment knew it, Usurpation Day was a coup, we have left the Constitution behind)
Now, there are a whole bunch of reasons for that
Yes, outsourcing jobs to India, importing foreign workers on H1B visas to work for lower wages in skilled degreed professions, employer mandates (insurance, etc.),...re now back to the position where we can focus on what is this longer-term trend, and that is a larger and larger share of wealth and income going to the very top, and the middle class or folks trying to get into the middle class feeling increasingly squeezed because their wages have stagnated.
Your fault, Bobo.
Facts are facts, Mr. pResident.
You lie. Repeatedly. And have been exposed via tapes of your past remarks. The alphabet networks don't cover this, instead they cover FOR you or say that the remarks were 'nuanced'.
You didn't lie to black church going Christians about opposing same sex marriage. You opposed your campaign advisor who suggested that you lie to the voters in flyover country who cling to religion. You gave your wink and a nod to the homofacists in SF at a private fundraiser. Just as your good friend Jeremiah Wright said that he knew as President you'd have to publicly separate yourself from him because of the 'truths' he tells. He knew it was just for political reasons that you said it.
