Obama on Voting for Clinton: ‘Not Everything’s Supposed to Be Inspiring’
Washington Free Beacon ^ | November 6, 2016 | David Rutz

Posted on 11/06/2016 8:54:50 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

President Obama made a case that was more pragmatic than hopeful for Hillary Clinton in an interview with MSNBC airing Sunday, saying that “not everything’s supposed to be inspiring” but his supporters nevertheless needed to vote for her.

Asked by Al Sharpton about the reported lagging turnout among African-American voters for Clinton, Obama sought to lay out what was at stake for his legacy if Donald Trump won the presidency.

“Everything that we’ve done over the last eight years will be reversed with a Trump presidency, and everything will be sustained and built on with a Hillary Clinton presidency,” he said. “So this vote is as important as any of those other two votes in being able to maintain a progressive agenda.”

Obama reeled off a list of liberal policy items that Clinton would make happen if she succeeded him, touching on issues like education and civil rights.

“You can’t say you care about those things and then suggest somehow that you’re feeling cynical or you’re not sufficiently inspired,” he said. “Michelle and I, we talk over the dinner table, we explain to our daughters, not everything’s supposed to be inspiring. Sometimes you just do what you have to do, and one of the things you’ve got to do right now is to make sure to vote for Hillary Clinton.”

Obama has struck a tone at times bordering on anger with the black community for not mobilizing in large numbers for Clinton. In a speech in front of the Congressional Black Caucus in September, Obama berated audience members that it would be an “insult to my legacy if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election!”

“Everything that we’ve done over the last eight years will be reversed with a Trump presidency" [Obama] said.

That's the whole idea, Hussein.

Yep. I hope Sharpton didn’t have to read from a teleprompter.

“Just because she’s not as inspiring as me, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote for Hillary.”

This doesn't sound like a winning campaign at all. It sounds like some jug-eared nitwit trying to convince people to eat a bucket of sh!t and pretend it's ice cream.

2 RELATED SHORT VIDEOS FOR YOUR PRE-ELECTION CONSIDERATION!
A humble 60 second remembrance of the NEEDLESS tragedy in Benghazi and how it SHOULD impact this election! 4 American heroes died as Obama and Hillary made a mockery of the traditional and sacred military motto of “NO MAN LEFT BEHIND”.
DO WE CARE? DO WE EVEN REMEMBER??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZAvUnqI8bA

Under 2 minute video explains why Hillary and the demoncrats have NO interest in halting the advance of the ongoing evil.
And if you DO NOT understand that Hillary allowing those Americans to die in Benghazi – without EVEN TRYING TO GO TO THEIR AID – IS the personification of EVIL and a metaphor for what’s coming, I don’t know what is. If there are still enough “citizens” – and I use that term very, very loosely – among us to put her in the White House, we are in SERIOUS TROUBLE. They clearly DO NOT know history and that NO NATION HAS SURVIVED THIS LEVEL OF CORRUPTION and most ALL OF US will have the dubious distinction of experiencing the next, most evil and probably the LAST chapter in ours!
What will it be like? If you’re old enough, you may recall the Cold War/nuclear threat expression
“The living will envy the dead”.
THERE YA’ GO!

What is the point of him appearing on MSNBC with Sharpton? He will reach maybe twenty people.

Didn’t Bill Clinton once say during the 2012 campaign that he was the only one excited about a second term for Obama?

Well who wouldn’t want to vote for that!
