Obama unloads on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh
by Emily Larsen, Political Reporter |
| June 23, 2020 07:20 PM
Barack Obama had harsh words for Fox News, radio host Rush Limbaugh, and conservative media during a virtual fundraiser in support of Joe Biden's presidential campaign.
The former president began with soft references to media and commentators friendly to President Trump, saying that there is "a media structure" that supports the Trump White House.
"We have seen over the last couple of years is a White House enabled by Republicans in Congress and a media structure that supports them and has not just differed in terms of policy, but has gone to the very foundations of who we are and who we should be," Obama said.
Later, Obama said that Trump "exploits divisions" among people, particularly by feeding anxieties about economic uncertainty, what Obama thinks is a main driver of backlash to social movements such as Black Lives Matter and gay and transgender rights.

What the hell is O'Bastard talking about? *****rollingeyes*****
Fox personalities, Rush, et al rightly criticized Bammy specifically for:
runaway deficit spending, playing golf excessively, tweeting, being hypersensitive of negative press, reliance on executive actions, his
mishandling of a contagious disease epidemic, dividing the country into tribes, spending too much money on family travel and
diminishing the gravitas of the office.
Let me know when PDJT does any of that. Otherwise, OBastard needs to shut his hole and stop questioning the integrity of Great Americans like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

Obama implores Democrats not to be 'smug' about Trump

Former President Barack Obama had a blunt message for the 175,000 grassroots donors who logged on for his first virtual fundraiser with Joe Biden, raising a record-breaking $7.6 million.
"Man, this is serious business," Obama told small-dollar contributors to Biden, his vice president from 2009-2017 and now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. "Whatever it is that we've done so far to help Joe Biden get elected, we have to do more."
There was "no disconnect between the urgency of this election and the political moment," according to the former president of the movement against racial injustice and police brutality.
Obama said that urgency gave him hope, along with Biden's credentials as a friend and "critical adviser" during his two terms as vice president.

Well for one PDJT seems to actually be fond of the country he leads. I know that may seem simple but it makes a difference to some of us.

Works for me, especially in contrast to his predecessor.
