Frustrated that prominent Democrats have not fought harder, former President Barack Obama said in a speech that his party’s leaders needed to step up.
Former President Barack Obama has a stern critique for members of his party: Too many have been cowed into silence.
In private remarks to party donors on Friday night, Mr. Obama scolded Democrats for failing to speak out against President Trump and his policies, suggesting they were shrinking from the challenge out of fear of retribution.
“It’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Mr. Obama said at a fund-raiser for the Democratic National Committee at the home of Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey.
“What I have been surprised by is the degree to which I’ve seen people who, when I was president, or progressives, liberals, stood for all kinds of stuff, who seem like they’re kind of cowed and intimidated and shrinking away from just asserting what they believe, or at least what they said they believe,” he added.
Locked out of power in Washington, Democrats have been largely arguing among themselves about how to confront a hostile Trump administration. Mr. Obama’s remarks were circulated by his office on Monday.
He expressed particular disdain for law firms that he said had been willing to “set aside the law” in response to Mr. Trump’s actions “not because, by the way, that they’re going to be thrown in jail, but because they might lose a few clients and might not be able to finish that kitchen rehab at their Hampton house. I’m not impressed.”

Obama is disappointed there isn’t more blood in the streets.
“Failing to speak out…”. Are you figging kidding me!?
Indeed that wasn’t friendly fire Trump received.
Correct.
It was an attempt to murder him in cold blood.
what we need to do is get a lot tougher, yes,
tougher against enemies and traitors within our borders like, say, Obama or whatever his real name may be .... and his Puppetmeister-enablers...SorozNazi, the Saudi prince who placed him into his college, Pelousy who faked up the certification paper for his supposed “potus eligiblity” and etc etc.
Bring it, Snowflakes Tighten up your “man bun” and buy a new Tattoo.
Just so I can finish my two solariums at my house in the Hamptons.
What else is he gonna say?
Cue the Soetoros workout gif. The one where he’s sweating balls while curling a 5 lb. weight.
If RATs don’t toughen up, what’s Obama gonna do ... hit them with his purse? Or send in Big Mike to deal with them?
Indeed it started in 2016 when he ran the first time communism doesn’t like competition.
Reagan raps box
Exactly my reaction to Obama.
Toughen up?
You morons tried to bankrupt him. You tried to jail him. You tried to kill him. Yeah, try toughening up, whatever the hell that is .
So ... gunfire in a Pennsylvania town isn’t “tough” enough for Zero?
He craves violence. Never a thought of reflecting on his unpopular positions and wisely adjusting/leading. Just more “they bring a knife we bring a gun” crap.
Maybe more F-Bombs and attacking law enforcement will work
He STILL isn’t quitting.
