Obama turns his wrath on GOP Senate hopefuls

His deep disdain for Donald Trump now long established, President Barack Obama is turning his arrows on Republican lawmakers stuck with the GOP nominee, landing Air Force One on their turf and unleashing a torrent of insults.

He ripped Ohio Sen. Rob Portman in Columbus last week as a too-little-too-late political opportunist for disavowing Trump only after the presidential nominee boasted about sexual assault. He lashed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in Miami as a weak-minded hypocrite who once ran against Trump but now worries about alienating his backers.

And on Sunday in Las Vegas, he declared GOP Rep. Joe Heck, running to replace retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, a closet Trump supporter, even as he's disavowed the candidate.

"How does that work?" Obama said with disdain during a raucous campaign rally here. "You're for him, but you're not for him. You're kind of for him. What the heck?"

"That's not leadership. That's cynical," Obama said. "That means you'll say anything and so anything just to get elected."

3. Gotta love Obama!

In fact I really do love Obama. He's going to go down in history as a great president, and I've always felt very safe with him in the White House.

4. I'm a Floridian and I'm voting tomorrow along with my parents.

Little Marco will be three more votes closer to getting the retirement he's always wanted.

5. THIS:

A Democratic US Congress could, for example, approve necessary changes to the Affordable Care Act, preventing Obama's signature legislative achievement from collapsing.

We MUST take back the House!

6. CNN my god, can't you just hire an editor? "you'll say anything and so anything"

It's not "you'll say anything and so anything". It's "you'll say anything and DO anything".

Sheesh.

19. Ha!

I'm glad he feels free to call the rethugs on it, and as far as hugs, he does seem huggable. I will so miss the whole family.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

9. Our president is having some fun

mocking these idiots. Good for him!

[Hekate]

11. KnR. I am going to miss this man so much...

[DAMANgoldberg]

12. Liberation is wonderful

I believe it was about last spring when Obama basically paraphrased "I have no more F___s left to give". Since this was his last year in elective politics, why not go all in on the legacy. Once a candidate was chosen, then it's drop multiple mics, styling, and profiling.

{the last statements was from my favorite wrestler and local resident, The :Nature Boy" Ric Flair WHOOOOO! He gets a pass from me for being an R.}

13. Obama Will Make Democracy Great Again!

GOP ideologues sorely underestimated Obama

What a mind!

14. The Bear is loose

and Biden's unleashed.

15. It's hunting season & the Big O is hunting GOP trophies before he leaves.

17. No more Mr. Nice Guy!

I'm glad to see Democrats shedding the always too polite role and standing up for liberal progressive principles. I no longer let conservatives get away with their outrageous statements without a calmly objective rebuttal.
