“..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.
And Obama is a smug, Kenyan ***hole so what’s the point?
Barry Soetor-Obama; the queen of smugness and soon to be a billionaire so yeah - I guess he would know all about being smug and wealthy.
This is the boldest, most hypocritical and condescending thing I’ve heard Obama say. And that’s saying a lot.
Stuff it, you disrespectful POS.
“Says the guy who just signed a $65 million book deal with Penguin and $100 million deal with Netflix.”
Risky for the payers I’d say.
The apotheosis of smugness speaks.
So says the smuggiest of all smugs
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.
nobama, you Fraud & Criminal...Go To Jail...Do Not Collect $200!
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.
That SMUG bass turd....is going to keep touring...Making a fool of himself....
He's just another Oxygen Pirate..IMO.
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.
