Obama says Fox News viewers are living on 'different planet'
Fox News ^ | 1/13/2018 | Hannity

Posted on 01/13/2018 6:25:15 AM PST by cq

Former President Barack Obama resurfaced on Friday and took a shot at Fox News viewers, saying they’re “living on a different planet” than people who consume mainstream media.

Obama made the remarks on the premiere of the new monthly Netflix series “My next guest needs no introduction with David Letterman,” which hit the streaming service on Friday morning. Early in the episode, Obama asked Letterman about his retirement but the veteran talk show host quickly let the former president know who was boss.

“Now here’s how this is gonna work. I’m gonna ask you stuff, and then you respond to stuff,” Letterman joked.

Letterman then asked Obama what he considers the more dangerous threat to a democracy, the president demeaning the press or a foreign power sabotaging the voting process. Both options are clearly jabs at President Trump and Obama answered without mentioning the current president’s name.

“One of the biggest challenges we have to our democracy is the degree to which we don’t share a common baseline of facts,” Obama said. "If you watch Fox News, you are living on a different planet than you are if you are listening to NPR.”

I am one of those who follow Q Anon posts and therefore wonder “where is Obama.” NOrmally he likes to put his face where it isn’t welcome (everywhere).

So Obama hasn’t been seen lately and here’s the OP implying he “surfaced.” I checked other media and found “Taped late last year before an audience at the main campus of the City College of New York in Manhattan”

https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/barack-obama-david-letterman-netflix-1.16129602

So I’ll go back to wondering “Where’s Obama?”

Obama the educated royal idiot who has a masters degree in stupidity is still confused about what reality is.
No wonder some blacks in Africa sold some of their own.
