WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 2016 – By: President Barack Obama

I’ve spent most of my life living in big cities. But the truth is, a lot of what’s shaped me came from my grandparents who grew up on the prairie in Kansas. They taught me the kind of values that don’t always make headlines, let alone the daily back-and-forth in Washington. Honesty and responsibility. Hard work and toughness against adversity. Keeping your word, and giving back to your community. And treating folks with respect, even if you disagree with them.

They’re the same values I saw as a Senator in Illinois, driving long country roads to visit with folks in small towns. They’re the same values I saw in Iowa, campaigning for this office in community centers and coffee shops and high school cafeterias. They’re the same values that have inspired me every day as President, in visits to all 50 states and letters I read every night from every corner of this nation. And it’s only reinforced my belief that the values that drive our small towns and rural communities are the same ones that drive America as a whole.

How did his KS grandparents wind up in HI as Communists with a daughter named Stanley who got pregnant by a Kenyan Muslim Communist, who ditched her and baby Obama, so she married an Indoesian Muslim and eventually abandoned her child to her parents who did such a lousy job of rearing her? This doesn’t sound like “Little House on the Prairie” to me.

This juvenile behavior is obviously his way to irritate real Americans with traditional values. He thinks it’s clever.

He knows they weren’t his grandparents and he hated them, anyway. His “grandmother” he called a “typical white person”.

I can’t wait until he’s arrested.

Nero:Keep you word?

WTF are you trying to fool?

You can keep your doctor

I learned about Hillary’s private email account and server in the news.

It was the fault of a Video.
