Tom Cotton, Joe Manchin praise Obama's 'dignity'

Washington (CNN)In the final days of President Barack Obama's second term, a couple of his critics took a moment to express some kind words.

Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, and Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in separate interviews Wednesday that Obama brought "dignity" to the nation's highest office.

Cotton, a junior senator and frequent critic of Obama's national security decisions, said: "President Obama has been a good role model for young men throughout our society, especially people like him who grew up without a father." "I think the kind of quiet dignity that he's brought to the private side of his life sets a really good example for young men all around the country who maybe don't have a father-figure or don't have a role model they can look up to," Cotton said.

And Manchin, a moderate Democrat from a conservative state, sized up Obama's legacy in a few words. "He really brought a lot of dignity to the office, when you look at basically his family life and how he raised these two wonderful daughters," Manchin said.

He struck a similar note as Cotton, but also praised the direction Obama pulled the country in, while acknowledging their policy differences.

"The way he came in, and the way he's going out: without any mars to it, without any blemishes, without any scandal," Manchin said. "We are in better shape right now. The thing that bothers me most is we have about a $20 trillion debt."

Not bull scat, foul secretions, the flies can smell it. It’s like rotten meat. And cocaine use causes throat irritation and hoarseness, which results in coughing!
Freud was a heavy cocaine user, had several operations on his septum to repair it. He prescribed it for this patients, never cured anyone, just made them feel good.
Malia said ‘daddy smells’ remember?

How do Cotton and Manchin reconcile Obama’ treatment of Netanyahu with their idea of presidential dignity?

"Here, son, let me help you adjust that." Michelle must've forgot there was a photographer present and she was having flashbacks to her husband's state senate office. The guy in the background is taking a predatory interest just to add to the creepiness.

This was early on at the White Hut, when the wookie was helping out young men by tutoring them.

Maybe she learned that from Toot and she is Tootering rather than tutoring.

“Obama’s Real and lasting Legacy of the last 8 years??

1. President Donald Trump, our 45th Potus! “

The American people wanted a NON politician,especially after having given the Republicans the House & Senate, only to watch those whores give Obama 100% of what he wanted. Trump and Ryan are having a private meeting later tonight. I hope Trump rips Ryan ‘s teeth out. Ryan is an open borders, cheap labor, pro Saudi and Islam SLUT !

If Ryan was with Trump before, during and after Donald’s visit to the CIA, they had a lot of one way discussions from our new Potus. Trump referred to “Ryan” in a comical way a few times during Trump’s speech to the newly free CIA slaves.

Now I have to log into Facebook, and de-friend Cotton.

NO excuse for that.

I hate politicians.
