Obama Brags About Obama, Claims He Forced Europe to Stand up to Russian Invasion of Crimea – Opinion

Ah, the “good” ol’ days. Barack Obama, who was returning to the White House on Tuesday after leaving office five-years ago, made his first appearance since then. He did the same thing he does every time: he sucked the oxygen out and humiliated his former vice-president, who became a mumbler and wandered aimlessly around the room while O enjoyed the limelight.

Barack Obama is Barack Obama. The former president used his moment of temporary fame to brag about Barack Obama.

After all, we’re talking about a narcissist who, while president, was incapable of observing a holiday or significant national anniversary — from the attack on Pearl Harbor to the death of astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon — without including an image of… Barack Obama.

A Wednesday interview with Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, in reference to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Obama referenced Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea, describing, in classic Obamaesque braggadocio, how he often had to force European countries into proportionately responding to Russian aggression, as reported by Fox News.

The European response has been encouraging to me as someone who had to deal with the invasion into Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. They were often too scared to react in the way we wanted in 2014.

Uh-huh, sure he did.

Same guy, by the way, who in 2012 ridiculously drew a “red line” in the Middle East, vowing that the use of chemical weapons by Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad would be a “game-changer.” Sure it was. Bottom line: Al-Assad continued to use chemical weapons against his people, killing approximately 1,500 women and children. And Barack “Red Line” Obama? He looked like someone in a suit.

Even worse, as noted by Fox, Obama also in 2012 infamously ridiculed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney (oh, hell — here come the random Romney blasts) for identifying Russia as America’s “number one geopolitical foe” — a valid claim in 2012.  During a presidential debate, Chicago Jesus Obama smirked:

A few months ago when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al Qaeda. The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.

So please, O — spare us the revisionist Obama history.

However, you can continue to humiliate your sidekick. That was amazing, dude.
