Former President Barack Obama alleges he lost the “connection” he had with Americans in conservative areas as a U.S. senator and presidential candidate because of the way Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and other conservative media figures portrayed him as president.
“I ended up getting enormous support in these pretty conservative, rural, largely white communities when I was a senator, and that success was repeated when I ran for president in the first race in Iowa,” Obama said during a discussion at PEN America’s virtual gala on Tuesday evening.
“By my second year in office, I’m not sure if I could make that same connection, because now those same people are filtering me through Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and an entire right-wing or conservative media infrastructure that was characterizing me in a way that suggested I looked down on those folks or had nothing in common with them,” he added.
During his first run for president in the 2008 Democratic primary, Obama said it was “not surprising” that small-town voters in the midwest “get bitter” and “cling to guns and religion.” His opponent at the time, Hillary Clinton, criticized Obama for his comments. He later said he regretted the remarks.
Take out local communists first
And why does this deadbeat think he is relevant now, when he never was. That is one no good for nothing racist that has ever breathed on this land. And I got the term racist from it being shoved in our face by the likes of that trash and it’s associates.
Put a Super Fly hat on this guy and he is the biggest jive turkey since the 60’s. The lies run out of his mouth like rushing river water. I am amazed to say the least. He is sooo out of touch with real America, as always.
That turd never had a connection to conservatives!
Obummer has the same disease as kankles. They both falsely think very highly of themselves.
We all know when he is lying. His lips are moving! I truly believe he is the biggest reason for the racial unrest in our country. It started with beergate!
