Obama: GOP Wanted America to Fail So I Wouldn’t Benefit Politically
Grabien News ^ | 01/14/2017 | Grabien

OBAMA: "Well, I — I — what it indicated was something that we kept on seeing throughout my presidency, and that was a tactical decision on the part of Republicans to say no because their view was that if they said yes, and there was any sort of bipartisan cooperation, that would benefit me politically. And if there wasn’t, that would hurt me politically particularly at a time when the economy was doing poorly. They figured we could do pretty good with midterms if it seems as if Washington’s dysfunctional at a time when everybody’s hurting."

He sat back for 8 years and let his butt-boy/adoring media cover for him, play the race-card FOR HIM...which froze the cowardly/weak GOP and gave Obuma the opportunity to wreck the country with his America-last policies.

Hopefully we finally have a President that is not afraid to call a turd a turd...including the cowardly GOPe.

He’s utterly psychotic, and should have been removed from office years ago under the provisions of the 25th Amendment.

I am sure the ridiculous times he went golfing and refused to attend meetings didn’t contribute to his incompetence.

Well the stimulus did not work and added far more onto the debt, and therefore interest accumulation, than was received in return. It was admitted by the CBO during congressional testimony that this was a negative on the balance sheet that would be a net negative for the economy for many years to come.

Yo, Obama,

Weren’t you billed as the light worker and the second coming, you fooking imbecile?

And you spent 6 and a half years of your presidency blaming Dubya and did absolutely nothing else positive-wise.

But, but, all the economic news we’ve fed for the last eight years has been rainbows and unicorns.

Sanctimonious bastard.

The irony is that Obama really is illegitimate and the whole world knows it.

His (puported) father already had a wife running around in Kenya when Obama was born to Stanley Ann Dunham.

Even if there was a "wedding" between Stanley Ann and Barack Sr. somewhere on American soil (and that's doubtful) it wouldn't matter because the law would not recognize the second marriage of a bigamist as legitimate.

So when people refer to Barack as a bast**d they know what they're talking about!

If Barack Obama was really as popular among Americans as he and the media seem to think he is, the Republicans never would have won enough House and Senate seats to do such a thing.

I think the GOP made a tactical decision after 2010 to simply ignore the jug-eared exchange student from Kenya in the White House.
