Obama: Trump Hasn’t Grown into the Office of the Presidency
Obama’s speech accused President Trump of simply “messing things up”. Job losses, coronavirus related deaths, society’s divisions, and other negative things that we witnessed… Due to President Trump’s “dropping the ball”. Obama mentioned the presidency as one of the offices that is voted on by the people. Considering that Obama referenced the Constitution, he should’ve known that it is the states that vote for president via their electors.
From CBS News:
I have sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president. I never expected that my successor would embrace my vision or continue my policies. I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously; that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care.
But he never did. For close to four years now, he has shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves.
Donald Trump hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t. And the consequences of that failure are severe. 170,000 Americans dead. Millions of jobs gone while those at the top take in more than ever. Our worst impulses unleashed, our proud reputation around the world badly diminished, and our democratic institutions threatened like never before.
Now, I know that in times as polarized as these, most of you have already made up your mind. But maybe you’re still not sure which candidate you’ll vote for — or whether you’ll vote at all. Maybe you’re tired of the direction we’re headed, but you can’t see a better path yet, or you just don’t know enough about the person who wants to lead us there.
CBS News has the rest of the transcript, and the video, of Obama’s speech here.
“our proud reputation around the world badly diminished”…
Well, well, well! Lemme clue you in, you Marxist, anti-American PoS, I, along with REAL Americans, don’t give a F**KING WET FART about what the world ‘thinks’ about OUR country.
GFY, you bitter red book and godless society-clinging SoB!
Don’t hold back.
Tell us what you REALLY think.
It’s not good to keep your stress inside.
(/s)
I’m feeling you. Well put.
Lars – Roh-Dog was talking to Obama not you, so don’t get offended.
Slow Joe and Blow 2020
“If you like your America, you can keep it, trust us,”
JEF n Mike
May God have mercy as mine is running out!
Whoa, whoa…
I have nuttin to do with thos pipple!
The Left keeps a count of the number of lies that Trump supposedly has said.
Obama? Zero lies.
I am sure they kept their doctors.
Scandal free presidency!
Most ‘open and transparent’ in history!
You mean like when he received a reward for transparency at a closed meeting?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/federal-eye/post/obama-finally-accepts-his-transparency-award-behind-closed-doors/2011/03/31/AFRplO9B_blog.html
Let’s not forget that the Nobel Committee awarded B. Hussein 0bama their Peace Prize just for getting elected!
Bingo. IMHO, they could have waited for him to intentionally drone a US citizen.
Also, Libya…
But after that he brought a lot of p̶e̶a̶c̶e̶ hellfire missiles to the world.
It’s as if President Trump has taken the unprecedented step of rewarding his friends and punishing his enemies. Never in the history of our great nation has a President done that.
“messing things up”
Yep, he messed up their plans big time. Good.
Ah, “democracy” means letting Leftists do what they want or something…
Quote: For close to four years now, he has shown no interest in putting in the work…. BObama
This comes from the slacker in a suit who, when he was elected to the Senate, spent less time on that job than he did campaigning. In fact, the moment he found out he was The One, he ran out the door so fast that papers flew up in his wake. He spent less time in WDC, doing his job, than Joe Biden ever thought of doing, or for that matter, any of his predecessors.
But he looked good in a suit, gave public speeches like some sort of anachronistic tent preacher, grooved with the audience, and got lotsa votes. And turned out to be a lazy, self-aggrandizing SOB slacker whose actions did nothing to speed the US recovery from the near-collapse of 2008. It was, in fact, the slowest economic recovery on record.
If Obama was a “leader” (only in his own eyes), then I’m driving a 20-mule team into the desert to dig for borax.
O’Bozo
A legend in his own mind.
With all due respect, you are wrong. Lionized in the press, both foreign and domestic, lauded by his corporate masters and deified by terrorist-states everywhere.
He EARNED it!
He is legend.
He was perfection personified.
…for authoritarian, collectivist heathens!
How’s that for ‘not holding back’?
Y’know, Roh=Dog, you could post a spew alert ahead of your comment… just to be kind to people.
I’ll try?
So much angry at that guy my brain’s judgement and courtesy centers have shutdown.
Apologies.
He hasn’t put out his latest book yet… was given $65M by Penguin Random House for a book deal and he still hasn’t delivered (Mooch did her part of the deal). And, it hasn’t been the first time he’s hasn’t come through on a book deal and pocketed the cash.
That’s because there’s no guarantee he’d get any sales (remember Shrillary’s episode of authorship?) of anything, and he can take his uncluttered time at it. Unless there was a written contract that he has to produce something by a specific date, the advance likely will never be covered.
Besides, he had to pay for that house at Martha’s Vinyard somehow.
He needs to put Bill Ayers to work to write it for him, like Zero’s other two tomes of fiction.
But he never did. For close to four years now, he has shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves.
Someone is projecting… the JEF was the laziest POUTS in my lifetime.
Zer0 sure pouts about his “legacy”
“170,000 Americans dead” versus the 2.2 million possibly projected.
“Millions of jobs gone” due to the overpanicky economic shutdown by Democratic governors. Triple the unemployment! Kind of easy when unemployment was at record lows.
“Our worst impulses unleashed” by Democrat rioters in the streets.
And on, and on…
The 2.2 million was based on if he did absolutely nothing…which was his choice at first.
The fact that we are not on course for 2.2 million is almost entirely because of efforts by state and local officials. Efforts he complains about, refuses to support, and often tries to discredit and undermine every chance he gets.
Stop being a moron. Seriously. It is obvious he is managing his responsibilities for this pandemic incompetently.
And if he was not trying to undermine efforts to slow the spread with his nonsensical lies and misinformation we would be much further along in reopening the economy. All we have to do is wear masks and social distance, every singe business in the Bay Area is open.
Arizona is the perfect comparison. The population of Arizona and the population of the San Francisco Bay Area is approximately 7.5 million each.
Total cases in the Bay Area 76,507…total deaths 1019
Arizona total cases 196,306….total deaths 4,688
That is despite the fact that the Bay Area more densely populated per square mile and people live in much closer proximity on average, there is also significantly more use of public transportation…
The difference?
We social distance and wear masks.
Arizona, with its huge MAGA community, and Q anon cult, has far too many people who refuse to wear masks. Who think the virus is a hoax.
Like when Trump tried to stop people coming in from China and the Dems screamed discrimination, racism, etc? The reduced deaths like Cuomo sending infected seniors to nursing homes? The world is shades of grey, yet you persist in black and white.
You point to one difference. That can show a correlation, but not causation.
A bigger difference?
Persons over age 65:
*Arizona 18%
*San Francisco-area 13.6%
And since the median age of death from SARS-COV-2 is -80-, that age difference is -hugely- impactful.
The left avoids that median age fact like the plague. Hmm.
The left avoids any and all facts about the chicom virus. hat’s why they do all they can to minimize the total number infected, and maximize the number of reported deaths. To make it seem much more deadly, and scare the people into voting for Biden / Blow
Again with the Q anon.. is that the latest leftist talking point? You’ve been using it a lot lately..
It’s a current Democrat talking point so expect him to use it a lot until they send him a new one.
I figured as much Poe, I mean it’s not like he has any thoughts of his own, his verbal vomit is just a regurgitation of what his professors / handlers spoon feed him..
Guess they gotta do something to try and distract from the America hatred and criminality of BLM / Antifa now that people are catching on…
It was in the latest talking points memo from the Open Society Foundation, which came along with his paycheck of per word count Soros bucks.
“…paycheck of per word count Soros bucks.”
Sure would explain all those loooooong comments, wouldn’t it?
So the President, who you and the Left think is a tyrant, let local leaders set the policy. Sounds like you would have preferred a tyrant to dictate a single policy nationwide. Trump let the state and local governments violate people’s rights instead. Worst. Tyrant. Ever.
The only consistency in liberal thinking is their consistent inconsistency…
At one time, Lars wanted a federal agency set up to standardize the light bars on emergency vehicles…
Weird. Sweden “did nothing”, relative to us, and things were reasonably OK.
Lars the count is a fucking LIE anyway. I have two Family members who died of NOTHING to do with Covid. They were old as dirt, healthy till the end, simply died on very short notice, one in here sleep.
Both of their death certificates say “Covid-19” and it’s a lie. To contribute to the fear, the count, the funding, the control.
So stop with the blaming Trump for the dead, when the covid death count it a lie. And fuck you and your fucking mask nazi self.
O’Bummer.
He hasn’t. And if you all were not in your echo chamber you would know.
Or maybe not, since dozens of senior officials have come forward saying how unfit he is for office. Including a dozen senior well respected career military officers.
And every time one of them does you all just find some excuse framework to decide they are untrustworthy hacks.
It is impossible to reason with cult members and cult members never seem to realize they are in a cult.
The senate intel report, led by republicans, detailed dozens of connections between Russia and the Trump campaign.
It also found;
Despite the fact that Trump refuses to testify in person because his lawyers who had been discussing legal matter with him for months believing he was likely to commit perjury if he testified in person…so they required he merely submit written answers to questions so he could minimize his legal liability….AND HE STILL COMMITTED PERJURY in the written answers.
The Republican les senate intel committee allow sent TWO criminal referrals to the justice department last year; for Trump Jr. and for Kushner.
The guy is a narcissistic sociopath using his office for personal gain.
Every time he plays golf, which is every weekend, he uses it as a mechanism to transfer MILLIONS in taxpayer revenue into his pocket through this properties…
His entire purpose is self interest.
DHS officials have made numerous reports to Congress, to their IG, and even to the press that he has zero concern for national security and instead is merely interested in using the national security apparatus for person ambition, favor trading for personal gain with foreign officials, and for going after companies and individuals he feels slighted him.
And every single time an IG acts on a report of abuse of power and begins investigating the Trump administration…he fires the IG. Now from. Ulitple agencies.
The guy is a criminal. A grifter…And a traitor.
Wake the fuck up!!!!.
Once again, the lone voice cries out in the wilderness, and says…. nothing of value, merit, or factual accuracy. Obama spent 8 years apologizing for America, bowing to Saudi royalty, and kissing the world’s ass. I do not always like Trump’s attitude, tweets, arrogance, or methods. I do like his results and that’s why we put him in office. To unfuck what your people did. You are the reason Trump is in the Oval Office. Add that to your empirical evedince.
Obama also broke US and international sanctions/treaties by sending pallets of cash to the IRI and Kerry is somehow still free.
????? Ulitple agencies.?????????
Well, there’s a new word never seen before in the English language.
Did you cook that up by yourself, or find it in an online thesaurus of wack-o verbiage?
And where IS Ulitple, anyway? Sounds like some sort of non-extant habitation, sort of like the zoo you inhabit.
Do enlighten us, TOOTsee. It’s just fascinating.
“Or maybe not, since dozens of senior officials have come forward saying how unfit he is for office. Including a dozen senior well respected career military officers.”
You mean like Lindman and John Bolton, both of which turned out to be establishment BITCHES?
“The senate intel report, led by republicans, detailed dozens of connections between Russia and the Trump campaign.”
Whereas the 0bama administration SPIED ON the Trump Campaign.
Every time he plays golf, which is every weekend, he uses it as a mechanism to transfer MILLIONS in taxpayer revenue into his pocket through this properties…
Versus B. Hussein 0bama, who went golfing MORE THAN any UP President in History, he even went golfing instead of attending the funeral of a US Army MG killed in Afghanistan.
“DHS officials have made numerous reports to Congress, to their IG, and even to the press that he has zero concern for national security and instead is merely interested in using the national security apparatus for person ambition, favor trading for personal gain with foreign officials, and for going after companies and individuals he feels slighted him.”
Benghazi? And AS TO favor trading, how about “Hairplugs Joe”s QUID PRO QUO with Ukraine that he admitted to on camera?
You lose yet again, Major Moonbat!
Fuck off Commissar. I just don’t have the bandwidth for your shit today. I know your point of view. Hell, everyone here does.
“It is impossible to reason with cult members and cult members never seem to realize they are in a cult.” …
As we found out every time you responded to anyone pointing out what a bag of shit obama was, along with his multiple crimes… or BLM being run by marxists, or antifa being a bunch of terrorists… the list goes on.
“The guy is a narcissistic sociopath using his office for personal gain, His entire purpose is self interest”
Again, describing obama to a “T”
“DHS officials have made numerous reports to Congress, to their IG, and even to the press that he has zero concern for national security ”
Would that be like getting a good nights sleep while your ambassador and others are being killed by muslim terrorists, your embassy annex is being overrun, and your Sec of State issuing stand-down orders to the assets that could have stopped it?
” he uses it as a mechanism to transfer MILLIONS in taxpayer revenue into his pocket ”
Again, President Trump has seen his net worth decline significantly during his term, while your hero, the half black America hating liar saw his increase 10 fold…
You really do come here just to be proven wrong don’t you?
If you are going to go “racial”, do it right.
Half White
Quarter Arab
Quarter Black
Does not matter. He was 95% asshole. That is color-irrelevant.
Very true 11B, I only mentioned it to point out that the whole “First black president” narrative was as bullshit as everything else about the man. His color had absolutely nothing to do with my disdain for him, it was the 95% as you point out.
If you are going to play at “OPFOR” in an effort to help elect Trump, could you least try to portray OPFOR effectively? Your half-assed approach does successfully lampoon the Left, and thus does help the MAGA effort, but it is definitely sub-par.
Weird. The Donks hold a convention, and -Trump- gets a post-convention “bounce”. And, his numbers are into “0bama 2012” territory.
https://pjmedia.com/election/stacey-lennox/2020/08/20/the-democratic-convention-is-giving-an-unusual-bump-to-trump-and-the-gop-n817948
Hmmmm, and every other time the D-rat candidate gets a BOOST in numbers after their convention. Say, what happened to the Bernie-ites who said that they were going to level Milwaukee if their guy didn’t get the nomination?
” cult members never seem to realize they are in a cult.”
That’s pretty obvious.
“AND HE STILL COMMITTED PERJURY “i
Finally! A leftist is shocked by Slick Willie’s perfidy.
Having to listen to this clown who weaponized the IRS and the Justice Department against political opponents makes me want to hurl.
Don’t forget also; NSA via the wiretapping of Flynn, Papadopoulos using known CIA asset Page’s communications.
In addition the illegal unmasking of numerous identities of US citizens by the prior administration’s cabinet, which took 2 of 17 individuals to verify and anyone that wanted to look at the information had to be ‘read in’, with a record tracking the same.
Where the F**K is that information?
And when are they going to jail?
Can’t forget funneling arms to the Mexican cartels.
Added to the list.
And that criminal, (censured) AG (**ck) Holder.
I’ll cut to the chase. Obama, a limp wristed cocksucker.
None of the Obamas are worth the energy to even be disgusted with them.
I’ve seen slime on a Louisiana swamp contribute more to this world.
All the 0bamas have done since leaving office is vacuum up the cash that is available to ex-D-rat presidents and their bootlickers. Netflix and the $65 million book advance are just two examples.
Donald Trump encouraged, explicitly requested, and accepted foreign assistance from the election. Specifically Russia but also received funding funneled through intermediaries from Saudi Arabia and UAE.
He his campaign did in fact collide with Russia…
Trump’s foreign policy advisor lied under oath about this and was convicted.
Trump’s national security advisor lied about this under oath and has been convicted,
Trump’s campaign chairman lied under oath about this and was convicted.
Trump’s deputy campaign chairman lied under oath about this and was convicted.
Trump’s personal lawyer lied under oath about his contacts with Russia and was convicted.
Trump’s political consultant lied under oath about this and was convicted.
And the Senate Intel committee report now reveals that his attorney general lied under oath about this. And will likely see charges next year.
Both Kushner and Trump Jr. lied under oath and criminal referrals were sent to the DoJ last year,
And the a Senate Report reveals Trump lied in his written statements.
Trump is a traitor. It is not a hoax.
Your credibility is zero.
Your left-lampoon act is actually helping sell four more years of Trump.
It’s funnier when I think of you as a pro-Trump sockpuppet making the Left look stupid. But it is also quite funny when I think of you getting Trump reelected through your left-bungling.
Either way, humorous.
You have no idea how big this government is. It goes all the way up to the President!
Lars, on behalf of TAH contributors I’d like to ask you a large favor. Would you please talk dirty to us just one time? Dang right you understand…wanting you just one time to say something nice about Trump.
Major Moonbat, DO YOU EVER do anything other than regurgitate your cult propaganda 99.99987% of the time?
triggered
Not quite sure what I find more sickening, oblowe me and his bloviating bull that would gag a maggot, or the spapos seagull that shows up regular as a broken clock twice a day to spew his drivel? At least the broken clock is right sometimes.
My apologies to the Ladies of TAH, but…FUCK THEM BOTH!
I tend to see Major Moonbat aka Lars as a window into how loony-tunes brainwashed leftist Wombats truly are as well as the Kool-Aid propaganda they get fed!
Damn, API… why you gotta be dissin’ on wombats? Wombats poop in cubes! Lars can’t so that.
A group of wombats is called a wisdom…
