In the previous blog I alluded to a remarkably ridiculous quote of President Obama’s, in which he told people at a rally in the battleground state of Ohio to reject Donald Trump on the grounds that he is rich.
I thought you might want to see the entire quote, so there’s no doubt about context. So here it is:
“And let me say this — because I was talking to some folks here on the way over, and I said to them, if you’re a working person, if you are out there every day working hard, punching a clock, the notion that this guy is your champion — the notion that this guy is going to fight for working people, when his entire life he did not have time for anybody who wasn’t rich or a celebrity; who wouldn’t let you into one of his hotels unless you were cleaning the room; wouldn’t let you onto one of his golf courses unless you were mowing the fairway — come on! This guy is going to be your champion?
“Come on! Because there are a lot of working folks in Ohio, proud people who make an honest living. And I hear them saying, well, I don’t know, Trump, maybe he’s not so bad. Come on! This guy?
“I mean, it would be one thing if you were thinking about voting for somebody who had been in the trenches, who knew what it was like to maybe not have enough money at the end of the month, who maybe had seen their parents working in a coal mine or on an assembly line, and knew what it was like to not be able to afford college, and had done his best — maybe you’d think about some of the stuff he’s saying. But this guy? Don’t be bamboozled. Don’t run for that okidoke. Come on!
“Come on! That guy had never warn a baseball hat or a seed hat until he started selling them to make some money. Come on. Come on! Take that off,” (to someone in the audience wearing a Trump hat. Then, to the audience) Don’t Boo. Vote! Although I would also check to see where that was made, because I bet it’s made in China.”
Nice rant.
Now, a few questions for Mr. Obama:
-Is Hillary Clinton rich? Or do you consider a combined wealth in nine figures for her and Hubby Bubba to be chump change?
-Did Hillary Clinton come from a blue collar family? Or was her father a successful business owner who gave her an upper middle class life?
-Did Hillary Clinton ever punch a time clock? Ever know what it was like to not have enough money at the end of the month?
-Since you brought up where Donald Trump’s hats are manufactured, I thought I would tell you: they are made in Los Angeles. Now: where are Hillary Clinton’s countless designer pants suits made?
I’ll wait for answers to these questions.
And wait, and wait…..and wait……………………….and wait……………………………………………………………….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
