Obama Decries ‘Meanness’ in Politics Under His Administration David Rutz

BY: February 10, 2016 3:05 pm

President Obama decried the “meanness” in politics that had erupted under his administration during an address about bipartisanship to the Illinois General Assembly on Wednesday.

“It’s been noted, often by pundits, that the tone of our politics hasn’t gotten better since I was inaugurated. In fact, it’s gotten worse,” Obama said. “That there’s still this yawning gap between the magnitude of our challenges and the smallness of our politics, which is why in my final State of the Union address and in the one before that, I had to acknowledge that one of my few regrets is my inability to reduce the polarization and meanness in our politics.”

By Obama’s math, he will spend the last two years of his presidency mourning the fact that he’s been divisive.

Yup, Obama whines about others... and forgets it’s his lack of leadership that started this. Didn’t he tout you should demand better? Well, the people are speaking.

Obama has been calling good people racists. He's been calling police officers murderers. He's been telling businessmen they did not do anything, the government did it all. He's been using the power of the Federal Government to prosecute the Little Sisters of the Poor. He has been using the IRS to threaten and intimidate honest citizens. He has denied decent medical treatment to our veterans. He has brought millions of illegals into this country and encouraged them to disobey and disrespect our laws. He has encouraged criminals to assault honest citizens and allowed them to get away with it.

He has helped terrorists kill and maim Americans and called it “workplace violence”. He has given guns the Mexican drug gangs. He has encouraged and facilitated the widespread importing of heroin into this country. He has armed and funded Muslim terrorists and encouraged them to murder Christians. He has allowed Americans to be murdered in Benghazi. He has destroyed the American economy and severely weakened the middle class. He has sent millions of American jobs overseas.

He has encouraged the arrest and imprisonment of sincere Christians for refusing to participate in homosexual weddings. He has dumbed down the schools through common core. He has helped Iran to fund terror activities and develop nuclear weapons. He has encouraged massive corruption in the Federal government. He has encouraged Chinese and North Koreans to steal the identities of Americans.

And now Obama is crying like a little girl because America is more divided.

Cry me a freakin’ river Obama.

Obama, Oct. 2010: “We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”

And he has the temerity to accuse the republicans of poisoning the well and being adversarial.
