Never fails.
Obama shows up, makes some silly and pointless speech about himself … err … about the country, and the Left salivates like one of Pavlov’s dogs who just heard a bell ring. Not to mention the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth from the MEDIA crying for their Messiah, claiming he was a better president and they felt safe with him in the White House.
Brian Stelter was impressively pathetic.
But other media types remember President Obama a tad differently, like Sharyl Attkisson, who quotes several different outlets talking about the media ‘abuses’ from the Obama administration.

He was, and still is, a Marxist TOOL.
But the main stream media grabbed their ankles and took whatever censorship Barry’s Cabal dishes out and dutifully reported it with glee...you see, the crease of his pants and all. They were and are utter fools.
They were and are utter fools.
******************
And monumental hypocrites.
And, I’m sure, he’s proud of it.
Well those 2016 Chicago Olympics were great!
Thanks Obama
Bump
Who a company or institute will pay six or seven figures for a speech.
The thing that gets me is the audiences that he draws froth at the mouth and applaud like crazy at every ridiculous claim he makes.
Well those 2016 Chicago Olympics were great!How can we ever forgrt keeping our plan and doctor with Obamacare? Coupled with a $2500 reduction in premiums.
Thanks Obama
What about those "shovel ready" jobs? Those came along just in time too.
Once again, thanks Obama < /sarcasm >
The magic negro rides AGAIN!
You want to know about Obama?
read this:
” The Quintessential Liberal Fascist.”
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html
If Americans knew the true nature of the Left , they would never receive a vote again. But these fascists are skillful at disguising themselves, and we must continually expose them.
Obama actually thinks he can rewrite history, what a laugh...Benghazi was a myth? Just ask the men who were on the ground. Obama lies HARD and FAST. He needs to be called out on it, right from the audience.
The GOP should put teams of vocal protestors right into Obama’s audiences. Take his control of the message away from him.Contest that.
Groucho Marx famously said that he would never want to join a club that would have him as a member. And I wouldn’t want to be part of a political Resistance that includes the likes of of the Bush family and the Koch brothers ;)
Because, in their minds to do otherwise would be RACIST!
Good compilation! Too hard to read in this format. Going to Twitchy works way better. I posted it to Facebook where it will reach a far wider audience.
