Obama Looks to Fire Up Dems for Midterms at University of Illinois Friday
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | September 7, 2018 | Lynn Sweet

Posted on 09/07/2018 2:52:21 PM PDT by PBRCat

Barack and Michelle Obama are jumping back in the fray to whip up Democrats — with the former president previewing his stump speech Friday at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Obama will roll out his mid-term message when he receives the Institute of Government and Public Affairs Paul H. Douglas Award for Ethics in Government at UIUC at 11 a.m.

A point this ethics award makes as Trump’s administration grapples with an avalanche of scandals and Robert Mueller’s Russia probe: Obama’s two terms were relatively scandal free.

A classic example of a liberal columnist/typist who suffers from "Trump Derangement Syndrome." Lynn Sweet implies that Russian collusion is a given fact despite the absence of evidence (apart from those ignored revelations which point towards Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton).

What is truly risible is the absurd claim that Obama's Administration was "scandal free."

No mention of Attorney General Eric Holder's "Fast and Furious" gun-running scandal at the US-Mexican border, the Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative groups, the weaponizing of the US Department of Justice and the State Department under Holder, Lynch, Comey and Hillary.

The columnist's conclusions are positively surreal.

...Award for Ethics in Government...

An ethical person would have released his collegiate transcripts, all of them.

That is that.

Going to a college campus in the state of Illinois. Really going out on a limb there.

Maybe he should go to Granite City, Illinois and make his speech to steel workers who lost their jobs when Obama was president, and got them back when Trump went into office.

“Obama Looks to Fire Up Dems for Midterms at University of Illinois Friday”

So he did what all good liberal, Socialist Democrats do to “Fire ‘em UP”. He lied to them. They expected no less, and got what they paid for.

Yes. There are really people that stupid to do this. Like Jeb! giving Hillary a "freedom medal". Or they may not just be stupid, they may just be traitors.

Easy when the FBI and MSM is providing cover for your scandals.

The only blacks to benefit from the obama regime were the few “Uncle Toms” that found a way inside the beltway.

University of Illinois must be close to Men’s Country.

Keep talking, Barack.

Some political figures have what is known as a “Midas touch”, everything in their vicinity turns to gold.

Then there is the variant on that magical quality, the “Minus touch”, in which things just seem to turn to - fecal matter.

You used all your political and moral capital getting the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” passed, and have enjoyed the fruits of its popularity since then. The Supreme Court ruling declared the act a “tax”, and therefore Constitutional.

Not since the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision, has a case been argued on such tenuous grounds, and that led to a civil war, the War between the States.

President TelePrompTer doesn’t look or sound so hot.

Like he’s worried about something.

I wonder if it’s those FISA warrants he bypassed the FISA court to authorize?

Got a text message from some gal I know she was crying ... as the most unethical President ever receives the Ethics in Government Award ... the irony.
