The Trump administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been an ‘absolute chaotic disaster,’ former President Barack Obama said on Friday. President Trump’s predecessor blamed the current occupant of the Oval Office and his allies for exacerbating ‘tribal’ tensions around the country, which he says has hampered the effort to reduce total number of cases nationwide. Audio of the web call in which Obama spoke was obtained by Yahoo News. ‘What we’re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided, and seeing others as an enemy - that has become a stronger impulse in American life,’ the president said.

B•stard talks like he’s still the POTUS. If he stayed in Kenya, he would be President-for-Life no doubt. He has the mentality of an African corruptocrat.

Nothing leaks unless Obama gives the go ahead. Democrats are a protected species.

Obama is getting very nervous. In his entire political career, he never met anyone like President Trump. I'm sure that those involved will be selling their souls to get out of this. This could mean numerous years in jail, financial disaster, etc. They will turn of who ever to get a lighter sentence.

From the person who brought the country together by trying to eliminate gender specific bathrooms, locker rooms and showers. From the president who united the country by making one’s race more important than one’s character. The leader who made abortion and abortifacients a required part of everyone’s health insurance even if one’s religious beliefs found this morally repugnant. The President who had the federal government try to prevent a free and fair presidential election in 2016. Finally, the so called unifier who directed his DoJ and FBI to stage a coup against President Trump because he despised the decision of 63 million American voters.
One wishes Obama would have enough decency to go away, but only after going away to prison for his corruption and seditious acts.

Hey Obama, too bad most of the governors didn't follow suit on January 31 when President Donald Trump put the travel ban in place for China. Your party base governors were more concerned about impeachment and had they followed the president's lead, maybe they could have done more.

Yes America is divided, and Obama is the one who did the dividing. In Chicago, they call it "organizing".

"Selfish, tribal and divided." The Kenyan Clown must have been looking in the mirror when he came up with that one. Yes, those nerves and guilty memories are making him chatty lately.

Oh, the irony. How the Halfrican describes PDT's response to Covid-19 is precisely the way I describe his own eight years in office...an "absolute chaotic disaster."

I have noticed, over the course of eighty years, that Democrats always ascribe what they are actually doing to the other side. It must be a "left-brain" thing. To them, the end justifies the means... they must win, no matter how many babies are aborted... and other crimes against humanity.

It isn't coincidence that Obama's rants sound like Comey's sound like Brennan's sound like Rice's.
1) They all were in on it
2) Their tweets, statements, etc have been ghostwritten all along
3) Obama is somewhat late to the party but is using the usual pearl-clutching approach, pretending he's shocked that politics can be found in DC.

Perhaps President Bush could now publicly chide his successor President Obama for failing to "remember how small our differences are in the face of this shared threat....” because “[i]n the final analysis we are not partisan combatants, we are human beings equally vulnerable and equally wonderful in the sight of God."
But, of course, he won't. Bush/Romney lectures on non-partisanship are only directed at Republicans who fight back, never at the Democrats who attack them.

If Smidgen wants to talk about “an absolute chaotic disaster” perhaps we could start the conversation with the launch of his signature legislation - 0bamascare.
Selfish, tribal and divided? So says the racist divider from his $15 million Martha’s Vineyard waterfront estate. That money could have fed a lot of bros in the hood because, you know, as his “wife” says, those places are “food deserts”.

#14, I believe Leftists have (what the mental health field calls) an "external locus of control." Simply put, when they are unhappy, the blame lies elsewhere, not within themselves. They are not likely to look within themselves to see what they can do to bring about change, and, instead, believe that someone else must change to make them happy. This inability to look within also leads them to reflexively PROJECT what they are doing onto others. In other words, Leftism is a mental disorder.

Oh, the communist finally crawled out from under his rock. That's what happens when the ground around you starts shaking. Now that more and more is starting to come out about the attempted coup of President Trump people are start to get nervous. And as usual Obama does nothing but blow hot air just like he did for 8 years. The man is pure bullsh**. Got it.

A leaked call? How common with the left it's given to the media like it's a secret meant for no one to hear then 'leak' it to a person to print as news how clever.
I'm now tribal and selfish besides being a bitter clinger of the 'Good Book' and a gun owning deplorable who knew.
The skinny crooked Kenyan would have found a podium lined up ten men and women wearing white lab coats then announced victory over the virus then gone golfing if this had happened during his occupation of the White House.
Obama, Comey and others better be careful of leaks now that the walls are closing in on them hiding in the tall weeds and keeping their mouths shut would be best.

When it comes to being "selfish, tribal, and dividing," their is no more deplorable example than Obama and his administration. His latest diatribe proves, yet again, that Democrats/Progressives accuse the other side of doing what they are guilty of in order to inflame hatred and create chaos.

Obama would know all about how tribal operates, having exploited it for decades in Hawaii, then Chicago, then DC. This sure sounds like the closest we will ever see him to being honest about himself and his own tenure as president. He must be terrified of exposure. I am betting he has his Tahiti bolt hole all ready and waiting from his last extended trip.

He’s really talking about his own administration. The racist in Chief points fingered off blame ignoring the fingers in his hand pointing back at himself. Mr Perfect is no Mr Perfect in spite of how great and perfect he thinks he is.

Obama's rant smacks of an autobiographical dramatization, reminding us how the onetime Choom Master is also manipulator of perception and champion of projection.

The catastrophe of Obama and his administration is one of the reasons Trump was elected. The voters understood something was badly wrong with his administration and they wanted a change. We got change and the Obama and his like minded cronies tried to unlawfully oust Trump. Now it's time for Karma and it's beginning. Obama is beginning to squirm and he should because he is guilty of inciting his cabal in treason. There is a price to be paid for that and it's just beginning.

The Half-and-Half of unknown father wants to mention Global Warming models at a time when Commie false “Science Models” destroyed our economy. The number of Chinavirus deaths is vastly exaggerated because the CDC and NIH count cadavers with no testing. Old people die a lot. The Others want US to stop working to defeat the great American hope, but if we can dampen Democrat voter fraud on November 3d, Trump can Make America Great Again. We don’t want no more Communism from Baraque Hussein Obola. He was an evil phase in our history and is now gone. We cannot afford Hunter nor Finger Biden.

Poor old President Trump doesn't have Valerie Jarrett doing all of the planning and making all of the actual decisions for him, like she did for you, Barry.
And then he doesn't have a subservient Media and Deep State apparatus to approve and cheer for him like they did for you, Barry.
That same Media and Deep State apparatus that loved you so much, for no valid reason fights against everything President Trump does and MAKES things chaotic, and puts the peasantry in a panic.

Democrats always accuse others of what they are doing. GW said "I am a uniter, not a divider" Then the Kenyan came along and set race relations back 50 years by dividing the country. If anybody knows "disaster" it's Obola. Be gone. It would do my heart good to see him and the Hilderbeast in orange jumpsuits.
