Obama Thinks Our Politics Are Too Mean (seriously)
Republican ‘hostage takers’ unavailable for comment.
It’s ironic to hear Obama complain about meanness in politics after surrogates for his 2012 campaign claimed Mitt Romney killed a woman with cancer. Let us also not forget the countless times members of his party called Republicans terrorists and hostage takers.
Keep all of that in mind as you read this report from David Rutz of the Washington Free Beacon:
Obama Decries ‘Meanness’ in Politics Under His Administration
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.
Obama struck a similar tone last month in an interview with CBS.
“The one thing that gnaws on me is the degree of polarization,” Obama said. “This has gotten worse over the last several years. And I think that in those early months, my expectation was that we could pull the parties together a little more effectively.”

Good for President Obama, it sounds like he’s turning over a new leaf.
Oh wait… FOX News reports:
Obama rips ‘doom and despair’ Republicans on economy, defends oil tax
Hours after the Democratic presidential candidates went toe-to-toe on the debate stage in New Hampshire, President Obama used the bully pulpit Friday to take a shot at Republicans for spreading “doom and despair” on the economy – touting new jobs data while defending a proposed oil tax critics say will undermine any economic progress.
The new data, while reflecting a slowdown in job growth, nevertheless showed the unemployment rate dipping to 4.9 percent.
In remarks at the White House Friday, Obama said the U.S. now has the “strongest, most durable economy in the world.” He also took a swipe at Republicans.
“I know that’s still inconvenient for Republican stump speeches,” he said, before accusing them of embarking on a “doom and despair” tour in New Hampshire.
Ah, yes. That’s the Obama we all know and love.

Shut Your Lying Divisive America-Despising Pie Hole, Obama.
If it were up to Barky we’d go from having an evil, black, hypocritical, disgusting liar as President to an evil, female, hypocritical, disgusting, lying criminal instead.
Progress?
Arsonist found covered in ashes and reeking of gasoline complains that the burned-down neighborhood he was found in had entirely too much flamable material used in the construction, demands input in rebuilding all the houses using flashpaper and magnesium.
“I had to acknowledge that one of my few regrets is my inability to reduce the polarization and meanness in our politics.”

“I won,” said Mr. Non-Polarizer in response to Republican requests to have some of their ideas considered in the giant trillion-dollar “stimulus” spending bill.
“Get in their faces,” and “punish your enemies,” said the president who now abhors the “meanness” of American politics.
Hypocrite, thy name is Obama.
President Lecture should be speaking to the choir: Black Panthers Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton and Beyonce about their ‘racial animus”.
And if you disagree with King Putt, he’ll punch you back twice as hard….
No he won’t. Among his many other personal failings, he’s a coward. You can tell because he only ever insults people when he knows he’s nice and safe, like when he insulted the Supremes during a SOTU speech. Like a small dog barking and growling because he knows the car doors are locked.
He also has a disgusting habit of hiding behind skirts like Susan Rice.
Obama NEVER said this
“Let me remind you that I have a row of electric buttons in my office. All I have to do is press one of them to call the person who can answer any question on any subject I wish to know, relative to the business at hand. I take care of the business, they take care of the questions. Now would you be so good as to explain why, just to answer you questions, I should have a brain stuffed with general culture, when I am surrounded by employees who can supply any information I might want to know? “
Politics is a down low, dirty, incestuous and corrupt activity at any time. All al-Chicagi has done is admit he has fleas from the dogs he lays with.
Obama is a idiot! Simple!
Spoken like a true healer and unifier…..the man who said he’d bring a gun to a knife fight.
Pardon me while I puke.
So I see he was in my hometown, returning to the scene of one of his crimes.
I wonder how he managed to suppress the urge to vote “Present”?
What he really means is overt opposition, see he likes sneaky backstabbing, so to him attacking from where you can be seen is mean.
F*&k Obama.
The ‘great uniter’ Obama has spoken!
Is #SARC tag necessary?
