‘Meanness at the core:’ Obama jumps back into political fray to slam Trump, GOP on health care
WaPo ^ | 6/22/17 | David Nakamura

The text of the Senate’s 142-page Obamacare repeal bill had been public for just a few hours Thursday when the nation’s most influential private citizen weighed in — Barack Obama.

The plan is “not a health care bill,” Obama declared in a 939-word message to his nearly 53 million followers on Facebook. “It’s a massive transfer of wealth from middle-class and poor families to the richest people in America.”

The 44th president did not mention his successor, Donald Trump, but his scathing criticism and urgent tone — imploring his supporters to speak out against the “fundamental meanness at the core of this legislation” — set up a direct public fight with the current White House occupant over the future of the nation’s health care system.

“I am very supportive of the Senate #HealthcareBill,” Trump wrote in a tweet a short while later. “Look forward to making it really special! Remember, ObamaCare is dead.”

““It’s a massive transfer of wealth from middle-class and poor families to the richest people in America.””

That’s almost word for word what Schumer said.

Trump should say: “OK, if you want to play, let’s play.” and release his college records and history of the SS number he is using.

No one could deserve it more

To quote Dr. McCoy from his last Star Trek movie: “I’d pay real money if he would just shut up.”

I’d pay to see that.

1. Prominent doc experts explaining how his selective service form and long form BC are fake

2. Discussion of Obama’s SS number and how it was taken from another person

3. Show us the college application form where Obama, after age 18, signed under certification of truth, that he was not a citizen of the United States. Because that question was on there, and for him to attend on Indonesia’s dime, he had to have said he was NOT a US citizen.

Let’s play, you cocky effeminate narcissist.

Obama probably believes that if he criticizes the Senate’s revised ObamaCare plan, then conservatives will believe that it is a good plan. If he can convince conservatives that this is so, then he hopes that they will throw their support behind it, and maybe even pressure Cruz, Lee, and Paul to drop their opposition.

Funny, wasn’t it Obama and the Dems preaching violence against anyone who disagrees with them?

Poor Hussein. Used to adulation and worship....now he has to rely on his boot lickers on fb and the comPost to sing praises.

Hussein isn’t that smart, imo. All he knows is that whatever happens, the public is going to see new legislation as a repudiation of the Obama Death Panels.

Such a reality drives a narcissist to lash out. Hussein is the former, so he does the latter.

I mean, have you seen that the narcissist is going to campaign for the Demon Rat governor candidate in Virginia? Hilarious! Hussein couldn’t pull Shrillary over the line....but he is gonna help THAT guy? Outta control ego—he is hurt, and wants to be relevant. His desire to not be looked at honestly is his primary motivation.
