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.

He such a hateful, anti-American SOB. Can’t stand anybody who doesn’t want to break down and destroy our country like he does. That’ll teach smug Whitey.

He is not really much of an orator--though he tries. But everything out of his mouth or from his pen demonstrates how truly he hates the cultural heritage of the Founding Fathers.

If he had even a smidgen of honor, he could not have taken the oath of office. Securing the Blessings of Liberty to the Founders' posterity has never been his purpose or intention.

Hey Dorkbama, we deserve our smugness.
You, being a non-talented quota baby of proven idiocy, deserves only flushing.

Go away.

Far away.

Dumbass.

But somehow HE doesn’t consider himself one of the elites. Does he think everyone has a $400,000 a year pension plan, government paid bodyguards, a generous staff and office stipend, and gets paid $500,000 for a half hour speech to tell people to hate Trump and the US?

Obozzo would fart into a bottle and serve it as perfume if he could.

The egotist-in-chief has never stopped thinking his sh*t smells like roses

The people, or rather the multitudes left behind are those living under socialism, left in poverty, bereft of any hope for improving their lives, told what to do, what to think, what to buy, what to eat.

America and its economic policies is a SHINING BEACON pointing the way to prosperity to anyone that cares to look at it and emulate it.

We have EVERY RIGTH to be proud, every right to be smug about it, and in fact a CIVIC DUTY to encourage others to follow our example.

It requires someone that is completely out of touch to be apologetic about our prosperity as Obama is.
