Obama said that America, particularly American elites, have had a history of “great smugness” when it comes to wealth and status,

Partial transcript as follows:

OBAMA: We did not adapt quickly enough to the fact that there were people being left behind. And that frustrations were going to flare up and that all of these changes that were happening were happening really quick, and you had to address them and speak to them.

“..a ‘Great Smugness’ About Wealth, Status...”

Chuckle... says the grifter who GOT “wealth and status” based on nothing more than his skin color.

What an insufferable twit.

This is the boldest, most hypocritical and condescending thing I’ve heard Obama say. And that’s saying a lot.

America, particularly American elites, have had a history of “great smugness” when it comes to wealth and status, Obama said smugly and he disdainfully looked down his nose at Americans.

Obama’s smugness rivals all competing elites - although he might be tied with HRC.

Obama should shut up and go away. He’s a public nuisance.

I’m assuming that’s a composite of what’s in Barry’s head and heart.

If you wanted a picture to describe smug it would be hard to come up with one more appropriate than a picture of Obama.

it is not the responsibility or the duty of the US to make sure that every country in the world develops equally. Self-determination in other countries have led them down different paths than the US. To turn around and degrade the US for the path it has chosen and the progress it has made, that of a country that everyone wants a part of, is asinine.
