One is in response to Trump's claim that the Presidential Election was being rigged, the other was Obama commenting on how gerrymandering has benefited Republicans.

Here's what Obama actually said:

Now, some of that is just the nature of our system, and geography. As long as Wyoming gets the same number of senators as California, there’s going to be some tilt towards Republicans when it comes to congressional races. The fact that a lot of Democratic voters are bunched up in big cities, and a lot of Republican voters are spread out across geography gives them an advantage when it comes to congressional races.

Some of it is just political bad luck. For example, I came in as an economy was in free fall, and although we took the right steps to save the economy, in my midterm election in 2010, people couldn't yet see the recovery and, not surprisingly, the President’s party got punished. We lost control of a lot of not just congressional seats but also gubernatorial seats and state legislative seats. And that happened to be the year that the Census is done and you start doing redistricting, and those Republicans took advantage of political gerrymandering to lock in majorities, even though in numerous subsequent elections, Democrats have actually cast more votes -- or more votes have been cast for Democratic congressional candidates than Republican. And yet you end up having large Republican majorities.

Press Conference by President Obama in Lima, Peru

All facts.

Here's what going to happen if @b_low_brown responds:
- He'll deflect to something involving "globalist shills" or whatever.
- I'll ask why he never makes critical posts about Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell or other members of the GOP establishment
- He'll deflect again and throw ad hominem attacks at me or other posters; disappearing and making a new thread the following day about Hillary Clinton or how the CIA is trying to ruin Trump's President/Putin should be worshipped.

hes probably the biggest trump stan on this board. its pretty obvious
i dont know if he is a trump supporter (neither do i care)
but it seems as like when ppl criticize obama, hillary, or the democratic party, all of a sudden they are a "c00n" or a far right repub.
i havent seen any evidence that he is a trump supporter
what i have seen however is ppl being aggravated whenever he calls out a party that has been screwing over the working class.

And yet he never does the same for the party of Reagan and George W Bush. You don't find that odd?

I get that your dense, but don't ruin the intellectual tradition of Igboland with your account. Remove it from your profile.

i dont really know the history of his posts or anything but i personally think BOTH parties are screwing us over and should be criticized equally. :hubie:.
I mean, whenever i see @ThreeLetterAgency stan for hillary and the democrats every 5 seconds, i dont see you telling him to also criticize republicans. i dont see you calling him out for supporting neoliberalism.....but do you :hubie:
