We don’t miss Barack Obama any more than you do, but a video from RNC Research is making the rounds on Twitter today that’s reminding a lot of people why they’re glad he’s finally out of office and relatively quiet. When he does speak, though, he always reminds us how America and the world let him down.
Barack Obama trashes Americans: "Confused, blind, shrouded with hate, anger, racism, mommy issues" https://t.co/QMrpbAgHQg pic.twitter.com/NTOD2T44jC

Note: Benny Johnson listened to the entire question asked of Obama and put his response in context:
I just listened to the original question and Obama's entire eight minute answer.
Obama did not mention Americans or president Trump in this answer.
He was most accurately referencing opponents of Climate Change and political change.
But this framing is incorrect. https://t.co/WawVqZG0o0— Benny (@bennyjohnson) November 20, 2018
The Daily Mail got it all wrong:
This is egregiously incorrect framing by the Daily Mail.
Not once in the eight minute answer did Obama mention Trump or the presidency.
Not once.
The questions revolved around building up "a global class of leaders" and had nothing to do with Trump. pic.twitter.com/qrTDKxvNEX— Benny (@bennyjohnson) November 20, 2018
Still, even in context, that familiar condescension comes right through, doesn’t it?
Once a lecturer always a lecturer.

This is a genuinely bizarre brain fart from @BarackObama https://t.co/AX75w1z9Hw

This was always the most annoying part about Obama. He thinks he knows what’s best for everyone and insists that there is something seriously wrong with anyone who disagrees with his policy conclusions. https://t.co/AIENotiwOe

Really? There's no reason people might not want to hear about the next Solyndra other than their racism, anger and mommy issues?
Democrats loved to talk about Obama's willingness to reach out, while what people on the right mostly saw was the back of his hand coming at them.

This really is what annoyed so many people about Obama. He's taking a difference over the role of technology and presumably the government in bringing it about and making opposition to his view about the moral shortcomings of the opposition.

The man makes no sense without his speech writers.

Explain to me how he is any better than Trump. https://t.co/nGpTpCxxmu

People who saw what happened during the "green jobs" presidency: "We don't want to waste money on any more Solyndras."

It’s really impressive that he’s able to condescend such a huge distance all the way down to us.

Nice to see you haven’t changed you ability to lecture Americans about how awful we are. Mind if we ignore you?

This speech, mind you, was paid for by the Obama Foundation and presented by a different Obama Foundation and featured, of course, Barack Obama. https://t.co/rVrCXa4ovm

And that’s about as much Barack Obama as we can take.
