President Obama previewed this week's Democratic National Convention and criticized the Republicans for their convention in an interview with USA Today yesterday. Obama defended his attempts over the past four years to bridge the political divide and get things done, while marveling at how the Republicans have been strongly criticizing a 'fictional' Obama over things the president has neither said nor done.

The President criticized Mitt Romney for not talking enough about what he will do for the American people as president, and responded to his Republican rival accusing the Democrats of engaging in a divisive, negative campaign.
'I would say that it's a little ironic for a candidate who won the primaries telling his opponents not to whine, who just had a convention that was primarily devoted to going after me in ways that every media outlet has said bend the truth, and whose entire campaign has been built around assertions that don't jibe with the facts ' that he would want to spend most of his time talking about how tough we have been on him.'
Obama also called out the Republican party for 'creating a fictional Barack Obama' who the party is criticizing over welfare reform and small business.
The 'fictional Obama' line of attack gained some traction after last Friday's episode of The Daily Show, when Jon Stewart mocked Clint Eastwood's speech by saying 'there is a President Obama that only Republicans can see.'

'689 Reasons to Defeat Barack Obama'
'1. Because he was not the one we were waiting for.
2. 'Forward.'
3. Because Julia needs to get off her lazy, federally subsidized butt, get a real job, and pay for her own damned birth-control pills.
4. Because lots of people fail at their first real job.
5. Because 'Winning the Future' was not a very good slogan back in 2005 when it was Newt's.
6. Because the country is ready for its first African-American former president
7. To give him the free time to write his third memoir.
8. Because he'll have even more 'flexibility' after November if he's back in Chicago.
9. Joe Biden.
10. So that dissent will once again be the highest form of patriotism.'https://www.nationalreview.com/nrd/articles/314773/689-reasons-defeat-barack-obama

I am very upset with President Obama. Where are the FEMA re-education camps? Where are the death panels? Middle class taxes have not been raised and no one has taken my guns away. This man has failed to fulfill any of the promises the right wing imagined he made in 2008.
September 2008 ' World financial panic, stock market crash, and TARP bank bailout.
September 2012 ' 29 straight months of private sector job growth, auto industry strong, stock market doubled, Iraq War over, Bin Laden dead.

Repubs create a fictional Obama and deny the reality of Bush.
-
Their only strategy for the past 3.5 years has been to try to make him fail at each and everything he tried to do, at the cost of the well being of the country. The GOP is gasping for air because they are dying, they are taking outdated positions on everything.

Well, I suppose there are two fictional Barack Obamas now: the one the Republicans created, and the one Obama and the press created, and who now resides in the White House. Its probably more important to see what he is, a Marxist dilettante from the teachers' lounge.

They'll easily beat Chair Obama, but when Reality Obama crushes them like a bug, they wont know what hit them.
-
do you always talk to yourself like that ?
-
This one is too easy. Obama is the one who created 'a fictional Barack Obama' to get everything in his life, let alone the Presidency. Oh, excuse me, that's 'a composite Barack Obama' in the parlance of our time.

Who else would try to have a conversation with that troll?

apparently, according to Dinesh D'Douche, the apocolypse has been delayed til 2016.

You took the words right out of my mouth (or keyboard.) If the truth about this fraud ever came out, he wouldn't win a single state. In fact, he is much worse than the Repubs claim. That must be why the LA Times is still hiding the Khalidi speech.

The Republicans should reply, 'Back atcha jackhats.'
