Obama, Conceding No Fault, Struggles to Explain Trump's Rise

President Barack Obama pointed Tuesday to fears of globalization, economic uncertainty, suspicion of elites — anything but his own performance — as he grasped for ways to explain the unexpected rise of Donald Trump.

Opening his final overseas trip as president, Obama acknowledged he was surprised by Trump's victory — and said it stemmed from deep-seated anxieties among working-class Americans that government must do better to address. But, he added paradoxically: "That's been my agenda for the last eight years."

It appears that the yanks share the same problems with regard their politicians. I wonder if the democrats intend to launch a legal challenge against the Trump victory? :rubchin:

Good luck yanks. We know exactly how it feels. :'(

Obama is a "doity wrat"



"Angels with dirty faces" starring James Cagney. ;D

Mind you it could be attributed to his earlier film of "Taxi"

Whatever, if the glove fits, wear it. ;-)

A couple of residents of West Virginia, both of who do public jobs, described Michelle Obama as an "ape in high heels".

Does the glove still fit?
