Barack Obama Trashes Trump Admin And Americans For Climate Change
speaking of President Obama President Obama has his foundation summit in
Chicago yesterday he was talking about the the state of the world for the most
part and when he was speaking about reducing carbon emissions by 30 percent
with available technology as an example he started to take a shot at how the
United States has some problems maybe some mommy issues the reason we don't do
it is because we are still confused blind shrouded with
hate anger racism mommy issues we are fraught with stuff but the thing
that really we have to invest in is people as some news outlets suggested
wrongly that the comments were about the president he was clearly speaking about
talking about reducing carbon emissions according to the reportage there were
650 people there from 41 countries 17 states and 100 of them were from Chicago
and he built that facility and on the south side of Chicago where he said he
really found out who he was as a person of course we want to know what you think
about mommy issues speaking at the Obama foundation this week former President
Obama took a thinly-veiled swipe but President Trump saying America's
progress is hindered by quote hate anger racism and mommy issues you can't make
this stuff up take a look the reason we don't do it is because we are still
confused blind shrouded with hate anger racism mommy issues in a 2014 interview
with former President Bush Hannity Assam why he consistently refused to criticize
his successors take a look at his response why did you make the decision I
mean I could sit here all day and try and get you to comment on President
Obama and I'm not gonna get anywhere correct
cuz I've known you I know you're very what you do why did you make that
decision because I'm sure you have a lot to say I'd have you're not you know you
were we've talked politics before we came in you're very engaged together
what's going on I'm very aware of what's going on I don't think it's good for the
country to have a former president undermine a current president I think
it's bad for the presidency for that matter and joining me now with reaction
salem radio talk show host Larry elder and former chair of the Council of
Economic Advisers to President Obama Austan Goolsbee good evening gentlemen
you know it is rather shocking that a president would come out and criticize a
president the way we've seen President Obama do it so I am going to start with
you Austin you know there's a book the president's Club which I'm sure you're
familiar with and it documents the the unique relationship between presidents
where you know the the the sitting president will have communications with
foreign presidents because their experience is so unique having shared
the Oval Office and those those incredible decisions and burdens that
they carry and so there is a relationship that they have but Oh
President Obama from the last week or two that he you know of the race he took
every day to go out and campaign against Donald Trump he did it in the midterms
it's unheard of is it good for the country as George Bush just said well I
think he kind of makes two things I think for sure in look it's the
Thanksgivings tomorrow in the spirit of Thanksgiving let's hope that everyone
tones down the kind of personal rhetoric and to refer to mommy issues I think
stuff like that is is beyond bounds what would people say if I refuse I refuse or
daddy issues yeah but that way judge the thing is you know that this is in the
context of the President of the United States now saying some outrageous things
what is he responding to he's well for example President Trump calling it
President Obama the most ignorant president in the history of America and
when President Obama was not born in this country things about the present oh
come on okay so you're sayings justified in continuing that no fees are not
justified I'm not judging I'm not saying he's justified he shouldn't do that I
respected George Bush's approach I think that approach President Obama should
take President Vice President Cheney was much more aggressive and negative about
the Obama administration for the entire time and I respected George Bush's
approach okay so I'll go to you let me go to you Larry
what say you we're talking about presidents not vice presidents and Obama
undid the signature achievement of george w bush and that was the war in
iraq when the george bush left office he assumed that there was going to be a
stay behind force between five or ten thousand troops had predicted what would
happen if there was a vacuum obama comes in pulls out every single troop and
george w bush didn't say one word as things got worse in iraq as he predicted
it is certainly true that Vice President Dick Cheney said something but george w
bush didn't say a word ronald reagan retires he goes to Simi
Valley doesn't say a word George Herbert Walker Bush goes to Kennebunkport
doesn't say a word George W Bush goes to Crawford Texas doesn't say a word Jimmy
Carter Bill Clinton Barack Obama never stopped talking a very different
perspective Republican versus a different X presidents and you know what
Austin he may have a point it seems to be the Democrats coming out to and and I
have to say go ahead good what III don't think that that's quite
accurate the only thing else Donald Trump is
unwell it in the sense that Barack Obama did not mention President Trump by name
now President Trump nobody in the country we've talked about take a lesson
in appropriateness and lack of insulted the reasons not to insult people from
President Trump he campaigned his entire campaign was built on personal insults
of his opponents and saying about speaking about the extreme stupidity of
everyone yes you Austin with all due respect that's not the issue were
talking about we're talking about a president who comes out at during
midterms and during his last at the end of his office to do continually attack
the President of the United States and something I'm going to give you the last
word Larry elder okay okay say Austin if it makes me any happier Austin when
President Trump retires in January of 2025 with his 50 million Twitter
followers he will probably have a thing or two to say about his successor well
you were at this Obama event yesterday yes you with them at the event
fundraisers etc you were there and the former president is saying that racism
and mommy issues are contributing to lack of progress in the United States in
his own words Obama listen you have to first understand the audience it's an
audience of about 500 community organizers civic and give ik leaders and
those people that really are about promoting good there is a fork in the
road in this country it's clear you can go down this path of isolationism and
nationalism and populism or you can go down the path of doing good and giving
back in civic engagement community organization and I'll take the path of
doing good so in my opinion who he's speaking to the women of you know the
girls global align the my brother's keeper there's a whole
group of people that are really forming together okay young people that want to
give back to the society so I think you know this little statement was more or
less said in and what I would say in some ways tongue-in-cheek he didn't name
the current president right look I think it's kind of so if we're gonna talk
about racism I have a mixed-race family and the identity politics I think is one
of the biggest drivers of racism so I would throw that in there if I were
President Obama and it's telling that he didn't outraged by it we have the first
biracial president who missed a great opportunity to bring this country
together because of who and what he was half white and half black if anybody has
mommy issues it's the president I've never heard him talk about his mom
President Obama and to allege racism and mommy issues he was talking about the
president is beyond the pale you you think that that the president the former
president I should say did not well did not mention his mother deliberately I'm
just saying you know if anybody has I've never heard him talk about his mother I
just never in a public in a public forum you just think somebody has mommy issues
perhaps he should know I'm just gonna say into the holiday season you're much
better than that let's and and we should just be clear
you should read his two books which is all about his mom's out of it and bring
the politics back in it here's here he is talking about 2020 and the
possibility of metal or Rorick of what he thinks of him it felt as if he based
his statements and his positions on what he believed the reason I was able to
make a connection with a sizable portion of the country was people had a sense
that I said what I meant interesting obviously he's seen as a rising star in
your party yeah there's no question and I was quoted on this in the recent
political article on him that the excitement around bet O'Rourke is
probably nothing like we've seen since RFK and Barack Obama
there is a huge electricity in the air the
grass-roots just can't wait to support this guy whether he will run whether he
will be able to get through a primary whether he could be our next president
we have no idea but there was no question someone who is literally a
Democrat that has done that well in Texas there is certainly a national map
for him but he lost it's hard to stay relevant
when you don't have a platform so what's gonna be interesting to see is how does
he stay relevant what does he do does he run for office as he started
foundation he's going to have to keep himself in front of the public eye the
question is what's his next move yeah I agree I think also one of the reasons
that he's attractive one of the reasons a lot of Democrats including President
Obama was attractive when he first ran is that he doesn't have a record really
you know he was a state senator so people can project on them things that
they want and see what they want to see I'm a Notre Dame alum many bad years in
football and you'd always hear so the coach saying well we've got a great
offensive line or we've got a great quarterback or a great receiver and they
would still lose you know the day you've got to put points on the board there's
something to say what you know just to segue off of what bill just said the
Democratic Party has not elected a president since JFK over the age of 52
so they liked young and aspirational the Republican Party has not had someone
under the age of 55 so I would agree we like hope we like change we like
aspiration we like excitement and you know in the Republican Party the first
to experience and so we'll see what happens we'll see thank you
god bless you and God bless america
you
