Barack Obama Scolds Americans for Offering ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ During Maui Tragedy
msn ^ | 08/16/2023 | Brian Gottstein

After the horrific wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui last week that took the lives of at least 99 and left more than 1,000 unaccounted for, many Americans are donating money to help the victims. Many more are offering their thoughts and prayers, including former President Barack Obama, who grew up in Hawaii but infamously said after a mass shooting in 2015: “Thoughts and prayers are not enough.”

At the time, Obama condemned the phrase, saying, “Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. It’s not enough. It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel, and it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in America, next week or a couple months from now.”

Then move some people into your mansions

And give them life preservers if they are entering the water.

Obama is a multi-multi-millionaire. He can certainly open his checkbook. Heartache and grief sure. But anger? Why should I be angry about a fire? These things happen.

Sell off your mansions and donate everything to the relief effort.

Earth to Dorkbama, the Muslum eunuch quota baby: STFU. No one gives a **** what you think or say. You’ve faked everything from high school to the present. Get a job and get a life. Your sorry ass has never worked in your pitiful life. Nope, your golf time while in the White House does not consitute a job. Same for your dumbass, child-sniffing VP and his crime family.

Obama, Zuckerberg and Oprah could rebuild that whole place. They need to open their wallets.

The Black Jesus has spoken. Your prayers are not accepted. All hail the Black Jesus.

Hey Barry! You’re a multi millionaire now. Why not hand them some or your cash? You could better the government’s paltry 1.9 million today.

You really can’t help spending other peoples’ money, can you?

Then let’s see the maggot write a check and put on some gloves and go to work.

I am offended that he and his dyke wife live.

There's no time for thoughts and prayers.

There's land to be snatched.
