The Washington Times ^ | November 20, 2018 | Victor Morton

Former President Barack Obama paid failed Texas Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke the ultimate compliment: Comparison to himself.

Mr. Obama was reacting to a report that a top Democratic bundler had said of the Texan that “he’s Barack Obama, but white.”

In the interview for “The Axe Files,” the CNN podcast of his former top strategist David Axelrod, Mr. Obama did not deny the comparison and went on to elaborate on the reasons.

Because O’Rourke is married to a beard, too?

O’Rourke did “roof hits” with his own Choom Gang? He did a little blow when he could afford it? He ate dog meat, too?

Yes, bobby francis o’rourke is 1/2 white. The other 1/2 is also white.

In fact you would have to find Martin Mull to find someone more white.

That is perfectly OK unless you PRETEND to be a minority and run on a “yo soy hispanico” platform.

Then you are just lying.

Like bobby is.

I guess he means a man that has done nothing to deserve the presidency but will be created by the media’s lies.

Obama's right.

They are both empty chairs chosen to appeal to suburban women.

Beto is only 11 years younger than Obama. Young man? it’s not like he’s 28.

Even the Democrats “young” politicians are twice the age of their key demographic.

So impressed because he reminds him of himself.

And people are upset with Trump’s narcissism?

Whether he is or not, you'll be hearing that he is if he decides to run.

Thanks Barry. We already had "Beto" pegged as a cross-dressing Democrat. Thanks for confirming he's a pathological liar, too.

Like looking in a mirror, eh?
