Early in the well was taking with a lady who was rabid anti Trump and hugely pro Obama and stress was irked to downright pissed that Trump was claiming credit for the economy.

She insisted that Obama took over a shitty economy and he put in place the framework for the current one therefore all credit goes to Zippy.

Nothing I said fazed her on lowering corporate taxes, less red the, higher GDP, lower unemployment or more people in the labor force. 100% Zippy.

She had a bad case of TDS.

Obama attacks wealthy in South Africa before returning to his $8-million home

https://www.americanthinker.co..._8_million_home.html

Barack Obama earned up to $20 million between 2005 and 2016. He lives in an $8-million mansion. Everywhere he goes, he has a coterie of Secret Service agents protecting him – at taxpayer expense.

But that didn't stop him from complaining about how rich people shouldn't eat so much or live in such fine houses.

Washington Free Beacon:

At a recent speech in South Africa, former President Barack Obama criticized wealth inequality, saying those who have more money should share their earnings with the less fortunate.

"Right now, I'm actually surprised by how much money I got," Obama said of the more than $20 million he earned between 2005 and 2016.

Obama then chided wealthy individuals for excess, saying, "There's only so much you can eat. There's only so big a house you can have. There's only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it's enough."

"We're going to have to worry about economics if we want to get democracy back on track," Obama continued[.] "We're going to have to consider new ways of thinking about these problems, like a universal income, review of our workweek, how we retrain our young people, how we make everybody an entrepreneur at some level."

This is the exact same mindset that allowed communist officials across Russia and Eastern Europe to justify living like kings while the masses stood in line for toilet paper. You see, Obama earned his millions. He's smarter than everyone else. He worked harder than everyone else. He feels the pain of the poor more acutely than anyone else. He deserves what he's gotten from the capitalist system where all those other rich people acquired their wealth by climbing on the backs of the working class.

Democracy is in trouble not because of capitalism or because the rich are "too rich." Democracy is in trouble because arrogant authoritarians like Obama believe themselves to be more virtuous than the rest of us and thus qualified to judge how much wealth is "too much" and how the benefits of living in a capitalist society should be divvied up.

Obama is oblivious to the irony. It's a very good thing he is out of power and exerting little influence on politics in the U.S.

Progressive/socialist/communist ... whatever they want to be called today, they are complete failures who want to control other people.
Obama is a creep.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

"The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth."

I know you're trying to keep it classy (and good job, BTW

), but I know you know you are SOOOOO understating the adjective (or would that be adverb) for this piece of [fill in the blank with as many colorful metaphors as you'd like]...

I don't think in my years on this earth have I EVER felt the loathing for one single person than I do for this piece of human waste. Excrement to the extreme!!

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
