Obama criticises 'politics of division', says it takes US '50 years back'
2017-10-22
[DAWN] Former United States (US) President Barack Obama
My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it...
returned to the campaign trail on Thursday, railing against the "politics of division" after keeping a low profile and avoiding direct confrontation with his White House successor since leaving office.

Speaking at a rally in New Jersey to support the Democratic party candidate for governor, the 56-year-old former president took aim at the fear and bitterness that marked the 2016 campaign which led to Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
's presidency.

"What we can't have is the same old politics of division that we have seen so many times before, that dates back centuries," Obama said at the event in Newark for Phil Murphy.

"Some of the politics we see now, we thought we put that to bed. That's folks looking 50 years back," Obama added. "It's the 21st century, not the 19th century."

#9  The scum of the earth right there. Take note of Whom the accuser is.

It's like when Hillary made up the Trump/Russia thing. It's all projection.

I hate the left more than anything on this here planet. They have done absolutely no good in the 100 years they have ruled.

It is the rule of the Anti Christ.

Do you see what they have done to you, America?

#2  Oh, that's rich. Coming from a man who fanned the racial flames of hate.

What he's actually saying is it's OK when he does it, but not OK when we fight back. Typical leftist.
