The fruits of Barack Obama

 


Obama tells GOP presidential candidate Tim Scott just how he's allowed to be black - American Thinker    . . ."Which has got to leave a sour taste in Scott's mouth, given that he's the only black man in the presidential race, and what's more, he's actually lived firsthand through the era of real racism as a child growing up in the South.

Obama, by contrast, is only half black, from late-to-the-party immigrant stock, meaning, he's never had one whit of commonality with Scott, who has lived through Jim Crow racism under southern Democrats firsthand.

"Obama is coming off as a sanctimonious white liberal in his pronouncements, and in some ways he is just that these days, living like a billionaire, and flying around in private jets on some kind of permanent vacation to all his many mansions.

"Scott, by contrast, pulled himself up by his bootstraps and earned everything he's ever got. 

"Which must seem like a threat to the Democrats." . . .

List: 200 reasons why Obama is ‘worst president in history’ | Washington Examiner

"A sampling of the 200 pulled from the book:

  • Blaming Bush and Congress for his woes. “During Obama’s first term, he blamed Bush for the economy, for the botched Operation Fast and Furious, for the massive deficits, for our plummeting national wealth, for our problems in the Middle East -- for just about everything that went wrong.
  • War on coal and oil. “Obama forced more than 200 coal-fired plants to shut down over a five year period.”
  • Cut funding to fight aids. “This inexplicable decision had a devastating effect on Africa, where most AIDS deaths occur.”
  • Nominating John Brennan as CIA director. Brennan has gone on to be President Trump’s critic.
  • DACA via executive order. Obama went around Congress to give amnesty to some 800,000 younger illegal immigrants.
  • Assault on the press. The Committee to Protect Journalists, said of Obama’s media attacks, “In the Obama administration’s Washington, government officials are increasingly afraid to talk to the press. Those suspected of discussing, with reporters, anything that the government has classified as secret are subject to investigation, including lie-detector tests and scrutiny of their telephone and e-mail records.”

Because others have a right to their beliefs just as I do,” Morrison told the school board." . . .

Fresh evidence Obama ordered up the phony Russiagate scandal (nypost.com)

  "On learning that the FBI was set to close its investigation into Flynn after finding no evidence of wrongdoing, Obama and Biden suggested finding ways to keep it open, with Biden bringing up the (dead letter) Logan Act."

Why Hollywood's woke movies do so badly at the overseas box office

  Thomas Lifson, American Thinker   "The movie industry has plenty of problems, but some of the biggest ones are related to the pushing of politically correct woke themes on a public that doesn't want to be lectured to when it lays out close to twenty bucks per person for a theatrical release, not counting popcorn.

"But it seems that this problem is even worse when it comes to the overseas market, which is absolutely essential to the success of big-budget "tentpole" films, which have little hope of recovering budgets that ran well into the hundreds of millions of dollars for production and marketing.

"Currently, the best example of this phenomenon is Disney's live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.  It is full of wokery such as "'drag queen' Ursula, King Triton the environmentalist, mixed-race mermen, and 'affirmative consent' slipped into prince's love song."

"Based on a tale by Hans Christian Andersen, a man from Denmark, where Caucasians accounted for virtually one hundred percent of the populace, the live-action remake nonetheless has an African American actress in the starring role despite demands for other demographic groups such as gays, blacks, and Asians to be portrayed solely by members of those groups. ". . .

" Mickey Kaus passed along a tweet from an overseas man-in-the-street interview on politically correct American films flopping in South Korea.  I have spent a lot of time in East Asia and find the lack of political correctness of many (but not all) people there quite refreshing.

If Joe Biden's economy is as great as he says it is, why have 401(k)s plunged 20%?

Well, lucky us. Let's just say that these things don't happen in a healthy, growing, economy, such as we saw in President Trump's. 

 "Joe Biden and his minions have been unwavering in their claims to have been the great engineers of a stunning economic recovery.

"Here's the dotard's yawping:

Look, here's where we are. We have the fastest growing economy in the world, the world, the world. We have 8.6 million new jobs just since I got in an office. Unemployment rates down to 3.6%. We've reduced the deficit last year by $320 billion, this year going to reduce it by $1.7 trillion dollars, trillion dollars.
