It Begins… Obama Plays Race Card Against Trump

Barack Obama also trashes working class white males in the interview.

The New York Times reported:

President Obama said in a radio interview airing on Monday that Donald J. Trump, a leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination, is exploiting the resentment and anxieties of working-class men to boost his campaign. Mr. Obama also argued that some of the scorn directed at him personally stems from the fact that he is the first African-American to hold the White House.

Demographic changes and economic stresses, including "flatlining" wages and incomes, have meant that "particularly blue-collar men have had a lot of trouble in this new economy, where they are no longer getting the same bargain that they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a single paycheck," Mr. Obama said in the interview with National Public Radio.

"You combine those things, and it means that there is going to be potential anger, frustration, fear - some of it justified, but just misdirected,"

...”we impeached bill clinton, and he didn’t really do anything.”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What? Are you nuts? Didn’t you live through what he did? He committed perjury, suborned perjury, had everyone around him lie, hid evidence, had Betty Currie hide evidence, and intimidated witnesses with private eye thugs and government officials. He even gave a “troubled stalker” TOP SECRET clearance in a job at the Pentagon. And that doesn’t even address the sale of missile technology to China and refusing to confront global terror and get Bin Laden. And, of course, there was the massive delivery of cocaine to Mena and a bunch of dead bodies. No, he didn’t really do anything.

This is an awesome opportunity for Trump he can now pivot and run directly against the policies of Obama and Obama is dumb enough to respond.

Trump already has the plane, and other cool toys Obama is putting Trump on an equal footing.

Trumps in roads with the black community are paying off now he is going to be able to attack Obama on behalf of black people.

Obama is a room temperature IQ in a room full of enablers what watch Donald does to him, should be fun.

This is very bad for Hillary

In case the Trump people are reading, just cite how terrible blacks are doing under Obama, and how if Obama has been so great for them, then why would you need a group like black lives matter. Then make reference to how black college students are making demands in universities for defacto segregation.

The key phrase at the end should be “that Obama’s policies have been so racist to blacks to the point where you have to wonder if the KKK isn’t paying him for doing such a good job of terrorizing them”.

Somehow I don’t think Obama will be like George W. Bush and keep his trap shut after he leaves the white house.

Trump represents an existential threat to many of the groups and ideologies currently destroying the American Reveloution

Obama must be worried that Trump is going to undo the prepping for the muslim invasion he has so meticulously been setting up

In conclusion Vote Trump, you win, "they" lose

NYT’s JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS

“Mr. Obama has struggled to appeal to white voters who do not have a college education”

After leaving office, Zero's public activity (appearances, interviews, speeches, editorials) will make the "Reverends" (Jackson and Sharpton) look like wallflowers. He'll make himself a part of every race or Muslim-related event. He will be the de facto leader of 12% of the country.

He will be desperate to make himself relevant. This is because of two reasons: First, it is commonly reported that he has been the worst President in our nation's history. Second because he has a persistent agenda to tear our country apart.

"Mr. Obama also argued that some of the scorn directed at him personally stems from the fact that he is the first African-American to hold the White House."

What a joke. First, if not for white voters voting for him he wouldn't be in office. It's not like he got elected only because of minority voters.

Second, if he wants an example of scorn, he should look at the comments that were made about Reagan, and Bush, and Cheney. They were ugly and recurrent. He's had an easy ride in a relative sense.

Third, whenever an African American has become a public figure as a Republican, they have been treated like dirt from the left - because they dared to think differently than the left deems appropriate. Clearly, if Ben Carson were to win the nomination the left would try to destroy him politically. We've seen it before. On the other hand, if an African American would up being the Republican nominee Republicans would for them without thinking about race. So who are actually the racists?

Ted Cruz has hispanic roots, as does Rubio. Does the left have any problem trying to trash them? Of course not, but if they were running as democrats and were criticized by Republicans there would be claims that this was motivated by racism.
