Repukes blaming Obama for Trump's ascendancy

[packman]

"...If Trump gets the nomination, Fox News star Bill O'Reilly tells his viewers, "he should send Barack Obama a very nice gift for making that possible." You see, Obama's unwillingness to keep Americans safe from terrorism and the fact that "he continues to allow people to illegally enter America with impunity" has filled Americans with so much rage that they have turned to the candidate most willing to share it.
The brain trust on Fox & Friends agreed that it's only because Obama so obviously doesn't care about America that "when Donald Trump comes out with something that seems extreme, then people say, 'Okay, at least I can say he's looking out for you.'"

Well, that makes sense - if I was a Fox zombie. I never did trust that twice-elected Kenyan Muslim.

[salinsky]

[Kip Humphrey]

5. Old reliable. nt

[Democat]

6. Bush kept America safe and 9/11 happened during Obama's presidency

That's what many Republicans seem to think.

[Johonny]

7. Oddly Obama's party isn't having any problems with Trump like candidates

hmm... why is that.

8. Oh, I can top that:

An old man, distantly known to my grand-parents, was going for a walk near my parent's house. He and my father chatted for a while. When my father came back, he told me that the old man had blamed the Jews for WWII: WWII was the Jews' fault because they secretly had brought Hitler to power.

9. One more reason to love Obama

Thanks for making ReTHUGs expose their racist, fascist views

[msanthrope]

12. I wonder what their DU names are. nt

[rickford66]

13. Are they admitting that only Dromph can fix things?

Can't any of the other clowns step up to bat? So, the other clowns would be in the running if only there were no problems cause by Obama? Bizzaro world.

14. If he wasn't black they wouldn't have to hate him so much. nt

[WiffenPoof]

15. The Republican Party...

...has only itself to blame.

Trump is a result of the Right blowing dog whistles, throwing out red meat, Rush Limbaugh, etc. etc. It was bound to happen.
