In Laos, Obama Repeatedly Calls Americans ‘Lazy’

2016-09-08

[THEFEDERALIST] During a townhall meeting in Laos, President Barack Obama
If you like your coverage you can keep it...
called Americans "lazy" multiple times.

For one, Obama said Americans’ reluctance to embrace his favored environmental policies is a sign of laziness.

"Usually when you see the environment destroyed, it’s not because it’s necessary for development," Obama said. "It’s usually because we’re being lazy and we’re not being as creative as we could be about how to do it in a smarter, more sustainable way."

He also accused Americans of being isolated and ignorant because the United States is such a big country.

"The United States is and can be a great force for good in the world. But because we’re such a big country, we haven’t always had to know about other parts of the world," he said. "If you’re in the United States, sometimes you can feel lazy and think we’re so big we don’t have to really know anything about other people."

#16 Left his wedding ring off in Laos appearances. Laziness or signaling?

I'd have thought if Baraq was going to remove his wedding ring he'd do it in Bangkok.

#15 Here is my solution for these people. Go back to Africa.

#13 It has been said: "Doing nothing is very hard to do... you never know when you're finished."

In this case maybe he'll know when he is tossed out of the WH. Let's hope.

#12 #8 Yes, but we might do well to remember, evil as he is, he (elected not once but twice) is little more than a symptom of the greater problem.

If a third term were permitted, I have little doubt Obama would handily defeat Donald Trump. Who then would we blame ?

Agreed, 1000%.

In my opinion, much of the blame falls squarely on that portion of our population too lazy and gullible to realize-- or accept-- that the crap they watch every night on CNN/NBC/CBS/ABC/MSNBC is anything but crude Leftist propaganda concocted to con them into vote Democrat.

But a far larger share of the blame belongs to those doing the conning. They must go.

#11 He went to a class and caste ridden feudalistic society where everything is owned by the party apparatus and their family members to call us lazy because we don't want to be put out of work by his creeping mandarinism.

#10 calls Americans lazy

The man's got a point. I haven't played a single round of golf this year. That little white ball is not going to put itself in the hole, you know.

#9 Besoeker is right. Half of the United States spits on the military and wants "free stuff". The Churches are empty, and the Nation is an ass crack at Walmart. The Colleges have" safe spaces" for the wussys.

The country elected THE Messiah, the smartest man in the Room, Hope and changy...twice. And he is a NO LEGACY suit.

Eat your Peas.

#8 Only 134 more days of putting up with this self-absorbed, stupid, incompetent, destructive bastard in the White House.

#6 A lot of Louisianans who were trying to save their homes while the commander in chief refused to leave the golf course would consider this dead beat president a lying bastard, too.

When he leaves, one or the other of two things will happen: Hillary Clinton will take the oath of office, and proceed to finish what Obumble started-- and finish us off. Or Donald Trump will be sworn in, and who the heck knows what will result.

I'll take the "who the heck knows," thankyouverymuch.

#4 Lazy is believing in marxist fairy tails and proving to yourself it's true with your time in a madrassa, which is also lazy.

Marxist fairies have tails? Who knew?

Maybe, by however wild a chance, Robert Mugabe has a right explanation.

#1 Have you noticed that when he speaks, he is always speaking about himself?

Hard work is DOCTRINE, you lazy punk.
