Obama: Fox, Limbaugh created 'character named Barack Obama'
Washington Examiner, Dec 21, 2016, Sarah Westwood

President Obama said Fox News and conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh helped to convert some of his former supporters into fans of President-elect Trump by creating a caricature of Obama.
 
"When people criticize or respond negatively to me, usually they're responding to this character that they're seeing on TV called Barack Obama, or to the office of the presidency and the White House and what that represents. And so you don't take it personally," Obama said during an October interview with the Atlantic's Ta-Nehisi Coates that was published Wednesday.

"You understand that if people are angry that somehow the government is failing, then they are going to look to the guy who represents government. And that applies, by the way, even to some of the folks who are now Trump supporters," Obama said. "They're responding to a fictional character named Barack Obama who they see on Fox News or who they hear about through Rush Limbaugh."

Obama is a creation of his Commie Mommie, his muslim schooling, Frank Davis, and his muslim brotherhood handlers. I am counting the minutes until his reign of terror is over. Lots of clean-up to follow.
Principles matter. Words matter.

Neither the Obamas or the Clintons are leaving the stage, with grace, dignity and maturity.

I truly believe they were surprised by how much their party's programs and policies were rejected by voter.

I agree @truth_seeker  ... and I'd add that I think they're going to be surprised by how deeply the voter rejected them.  888blackhat

How out-of-touch can one remain, however?

They had consultants and pollsters they paid MILLIONS of $$$.   Total Oblivion.

Sorry, Barack.  You created that image of pretentious incompetence all by yourself.

He is a bigger ass than Trump.  He can't leave it alone.

He's not going to have the decency to go away.  He's going to try to run the government from his rented house in DC.

Well, he can try.  But I expect he has far fewer friends in government than he thinks he does.

So we have an outgoing snowflake president to be replaced by the incoming snowflake president
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

That man has the thinnest skin of any politician I can remember.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
