Obama
rips Trump, GOP in fiery speeches for Midwest Dems

DETROIT (AP)
— Former President Barack Obama criticized President Donald Trump's tenure in
office Friday in fiery speeches in Milwaukee and Detroit that took aim at him
and other Republicans for "making stuff up."
The speeches
were among Obama's sharpest and most direct takedowns of Trump's presidency,
although the former president was careful to not mention Trump by name. He said
the "character of our country is on the ballot" in the first midterm
election since Trump took office.
Obama cited
a recent Trump comment that he would pass a tax cut before the November
election. Obama then told the crowds in high school gymnasiums that
"Congress isn't even in session before the election! He just makes it
up!"
At one point
Obama said in Wisconsin: "Here's the thing. Everything I say you can look
up."
Obama's
visits were to urge people to vote for Michigan and Wisconsin's Democratic
candidates. While Trump was frequently the target of his criticism, he did not
spare Republicans generally and said they are lying when they say they want to
protect people with pre-existing conditions while trying to repeal the
Affordable Care Act.
"What
we have not seen before in our public life is politicians just blatantly,
repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly, lying. Just making stuff up," Obama said.
"Calling up, down. Calling black, white. That's what your governor is doing
with these ads, just making stuff up," he said, referring to Wisconsin
Republican Gov. Scott Walker and his assertions that he wants to protect health
care for those with pre-existing conditions. Walker is being challenged by
Democrat Tony Evers.
In Michigan,
Obama credited Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gretchen Whitmer for helping
to expand Medicaid and said "few people fought against it harder"
than her Republican opponent, state Attorney General Bill Schuette. He said
voters can trust Sen. Debbie Stabenow to protect people with pre-existing
conditions because "she was there" to help pass his health law. She
is facing a challenge from Republican John James, whom Obama criticized for
saying he backs Trump's agenda "2,000 percent."
Obama used
the subject of Hillary Clinton's private email server to accuse Republicans of
trying to "scare the heck out of people before every election" and
also to mock Trump about the Chinese spying on his cellphone.
"In the
last election, it was Hillary's emails. 'This is terrible' ... 'This is a
national security crisis.' They didn't care about emails and you know how you
know? Because if they did, they'd be up in arms right now that the Chinese are
listening to the president's iPhone that he leaves in his golf cart."
Obama spoke
about the slow-moving migrant caravan from Central American bound for the
United States as another example of a Republican scare tactic.
"Now
the latest, they're trying to convince everybody to be afraid of a bunch of
impoverished, malnourished refugees a thousand miles away," he said.
"That's the thing that is the most important thing in this election,"
he said. "Not health care, not whether or not folks are able to retire,
doing something about higher wages, rebuilding our roads and bridges and putting
people back to work."
"Suddenly,"
he continued, changing his voice to a high-pitch to strike a mocking tone,
"it's these group of folks. We don't even know where they are. They're
right down there."
Referring to
Trump's promise to "drain the swamp," Obama said that instead
"they have gone to Washington and just plundered away."
"In
Washington they have racked up enough indictments to field a football
team," he said. "Nobody in my administration got indicted."
Obama's
visit to Milwaukee was the first time he was in the city for a political event
since March 2016, when he came to celebrate enrollment numbers in the
Affordable Care Act. He did not campaign for Hillary Clinton in Wisconsin, a
state she narrowly lost that proved crucial to Trump becoming president.
Michigan is
another battleground state in the Midwest that Democrats lost in 2016, despite
Obama's visit the day before the election.
"I'm
hopeful Michigan," he said. "I'm hopeful that despite all the noise,
despite all the lies, we're going to come through all that. We're going to
remember who we are, who we're called to be. I'm hopeful because out of this
political darkness, I'm seeing a great awakening."

Although the
sitting U.S. President's party usually loses seats in a midterm election, the
2010 midterm election during Barack Hussein Obama’ first term in office
resulted in the highest loss by a party in a House midterm election in the past
80 years (1938) and the largest House swing in 70 years (1948). This also
happened to be the Republicans' largest gain in House seats since 1938.
Republicans gained the most in the State of New York where they picked up six
seats, defeating five incumbents and winning an open Democratic district. The
heavy Democratic Party losses were attributed to anger with President Obama,
opposition to the Affordable Care Act, large budget deficits and the weak economy.

Michigan is
so important to Democrats that their most recent Presidential candidate didn’t
bother to campaign there.

Question -
Has pre-existing conditions been eliminated from any national health care plan?
Nope and did not think so. Is the record low employment by ALL groups of people
in this country made up? Nope and did not think so. Was Obama's economy growing
at the same rate as it has been for almost two years? Nope - did not think so.
The "Nope - did not think so's could be continued for many more lines but
I trust you get the drift. Are you better off now then four years ago? For the
vast majority the answer is both "yes" and thank you Trump.

'AT ONE
POINT OBAMA SAID': "HERE'S THE THING. EVERYTHING I SAY YOU CAN LOOK
UP". Okay. “The use of chemical weapons by Syrian forces would be crossing
a "red line" requiring American military intervention” Obama declared
on Aug 21, 2012. (He actually said it 3x's) June 13, 2013: “The White House
said that the U.S. intelligence community has “high confidence” that the Assad
regime attacked opposition forces by using chemical weapons multiple times over
THE PAST YEAR”(!?) Sources: "Off-the-Cuff Obama Line Put U.S. in Bind on
Syria", The New York Times, May 4, 2013 --- "What, exactly, is a 'red
line'?". The Spectator magazine, June 8, 2013. Aug. 21, 2013, Syria uses
chemical weapons and over 1,400 people die. And Obama did…? On Mar. 26, 2012,
Obama was speaking to then outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
concerning missile defense, which Russia was against. Obama thought that no one
could hear what he was saying so he said, “LET ME GET RE-ELECTED FIRST, then
I’ll have a better chance of making something happen. On all these issues, but
particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for
him (incoming Russian Pres. PUTIN) TO GIVE ME SPACE”. “Yeah, I understand,”
Medvedev replies, “I understand your message about space. Space for you. . .”
“This is my last election,” Obama interjects. “After my election, I have more
FLEXIBILITY”. “I understand,” Medvedev told the U.S. president. “I will
transmit this information to Vladimir (PUTIN)”. Obama WAS BEGGING PUTIN “TO
GIVE ME SPACE”. Sources: EVERY MEDIA OUTLET ON PLANET EARTH. Obama: "We
Don't Have A Domestic Spying Program", The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,

If Obama was
so great Trump wouldn't be president today. Fact is the country had enough of
status quo politics and the lefts globalist/socialist policies.

If he tried
half as hard to lead while president as he has tried since leaving office maybe
more people would have a better opinion of his administration.
