Obama: I'm The Father Of The Tea Party
Townhall ^ | 01.11.17 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 01/12/2017 4:18:31 AM PST by pissant

Well, here’s a new declaration from outgoing President Obama. He’s declared himself to be the “father of the Tea Party.” In an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, the anchor (and former Clinton operative) asked the president what sentence would describe him. Stephanopoulos cited the quote by the late Congresswoman Clare Booth Luce, who said “the greater the man, the easier it is to describe him in a single sentence.” Luce uttered this in 1962 when asked by then-President Kennedy what was on her mind.

The 44th president said of himself, “President Obama believed deeply in this democracy and the American people.”

“I’ve gotten people who maybe didn’t believe in the process to get engaged. Ironically, I’ve even gotten the other side that maybe didn’t believe in the process to get engage. I gather that I’m the father of the Tea Party; I invigorated the grassroots of the Republican Party as well as the Democratic Party,” added Obama.

Obama said of himself: “President Obama believed deeply in this democracy and the American people.”

And America demonstrated what they think of that fatuous statement by rejecting his party top-down last November.

====================================================

I think back to the emergence of the Royal Idiot on the political scene....clearly unqualified, clearly an American-hater.....wormed his way into the political system under false pretenses.

Remember his 2008 PR person Anita Dunn? The White House communications director said they held back all info on Obama....only told the media what THEY wanted them (and gullible voters) to know.

======================================

Every minute of every day Obama shows and proves what a crud he is. He never should have been president. He has been a human wrecking ball for the US and our interests world-wide.

==================================================

This deluded megalomaniac clearly got into American politics under false pretenses.

His disgusting European apology tour certainly proved his rank hatred of America. His capabilities in office demonstrated a remarkable proclivity for looting the US Treasury.

In it only for the money, you say? You betcha. The Washington Times says he leaves office as a billionaire.....and plans to shake the money tree bigtime (coached by those practiced grifting experts....the Clintons).

===============================================

The clock is ticking, his time in the White House is fading....but Obama is not going quietly. Boobamba left Americans a divided nation, trillions in debt, and a cartload of parasitic freeloaders sucking up our tax dollars, many of whom plan to kill us.

If that wasnt enough, Boobamba says he and the missus intend to stay active....to take years and years to transform America even more. He's proud he fundamentally transformed the nation we loved into a violent, hate-filled place.

============================================

I just hope and pray he doesn't fall off his triycle as he's ticking off his "accomplishments."

Obama is the father of the Tea Party much in the same way that STD is the father of penicillin.

All of these high-sounding sound bites are fodder for his get-rick-quick foundations. Valerie dutifully writes it all down....and off it goes for a donation. Valerie musta went nuts trying to spin the Trump win into a solicitation letter for Obama.

The reality is Boobamba and the missus got rich in office and intend to get even richer via an endless presidency......ala the crooked Clintons.

The Obamas are only interested in accumulating tons of money---and creating ways to loot and pillage the US Treasury. These two Chicago kingpins got plenty of tricks up their sleeves.

==================================================

ITEM---In fact, a new era in looting and pillaging the US Treasury has already been set.

Obama gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation (chaired by Hillary) on her recent visit to Morocco, to "teach Muslim girls". The 100 million tax dollars are to be held by, and doled out by, the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.

LOOK AT THAT SMILE Michele, her daughters and her mother in
Morocco's palace. 100 million dollars to spend when she and Mr O
get back to Chicago

FOUNDATION ONE---OBAMAS SISTER IS A BOARD MEMBER
OF OBAMAs BILLION DOLLAR CHICAGO LIBRARY SCHEME

Maya Soetoro-Ng is his sister and a specialist for the Matsunaga Institute for Peace. She is the cofounder of Our Public School, a non-profit that connects schools to their communities, and the co-creator of a peace education program implemented in schools and communities around Hawaii.

==================================================

FOUNDATION TWO---HIS KENYAN HALF-BROTHER HEADS THE MUSLIM FOUNDATION--named for their Muslim father. Obama Foundation Two was fast-tracked for tax exemption by Lois Lerner.

Kenya-resident, Malik Obama in Muslim dress, holds up
photo of his half brother Obama in Muslim dress (left),
taken during Obama's earlier visit.

======================================================

US TAXPAYERS PAY NOW---Obama collects later.

Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> $150 billion to Muslim Iran in the nuclear deal,

<><> $2 billion funding to Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich Muslim African Muslim countries.

<><> the billions missing from the Obamacare PR scam.

<><> the billions missing from the State Dept under Hillary.

==================================================

AND GET THIS LOOTING MO---Remember compassionate Michelle talking about "teaching Muslim girls? Soon Obama sent Michelle off to oil-rich Muslim Quatar w/ $73 million US tax dollars "to teach Muslim girls."

Recently, he gave her 100 million dollars to give Muslim Morocco "to teach Muslim girls" (to be held by, and doled out by, the Obama Foundation).

That’s a misquote. Obama actually said that he’s the father of the tea baggers.

No, he told the truth for once.

The TEA party originally started as a reaction to the buildup to and passage of ObaMaoCare, IIRC.

Chauncey Gardner, precisely. From the movie 1979 movie "Being There" with Peter Sellars.

Having lived his life as the gardener on a millionaire's estate, Chance (Peter Sellers) knows of the real world only what he has seen on TV. When his benefactor dies, Chance walks aimlessly into the streets of Washington D.C., where he is struck by a car owned by wealthy Eve Rand (Shirley MacLaine).

Identifying himself, the confused man mutters Chance... gardener, which Eve takes to be Chauncey Gardiner. Eve takes him to her home to convalesce, and because Chance is so well-dressed and well-groomed, and because he speaks in such a cultured tone, everyone in her orbit assumes that Chauncey Gardiner must be a man of profound intelligence.

No matter what he says, it is interpreted as a pearl of wisdom and insight. He rises to the top of Washington society, where his simplistic responses to the most difficult questions (responses usually related to his gardening experience) are highly prized by the town's movers and shakers. In fact, there is serious consideration given to running Chance as a presidential candidate...

Thank you, Liz. Now this is REAL intelligence. Extremely important for FReepers to digest.

I hear there are at least two senior intelligence slots opening up.

If Trump invites you to the Tower, I will certainly Come and Clap for your appointment :- )

Only insofar as King George III and his Parliament fathered the first one. Nope. If a paternity test could be done Americans’ native love of freedom and hatred for tyranny would be identified as parent in both cases.

As he said, he did invigorate the grassroots of the GOP, so he’s being truthful there. I guess Rick Santelli got the ball rolling with the actual “Tea Party” name.

In the same way Islam is the “father” of the US Marine Corp.

That’s pretty spot on, as is the post turtle designation.

Obama the Post Turtle

For those not familiar with the designation.
