From president Obama interview Quote
"Blue-collar men have had a lot of trouble in this new economy, where they are no longer getting the same bargain that they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a single paycheck," he told National Public Radio in an interview taped before he departed for his winter vacation in Hawaii.
"There is going to be potential anger, frustration, fear. Some of it justified, but just misdirected. I think somebody like Mr. Trump is taking advantage of that," Obama said. "That's what he's exploiting during the course of his campaign."
So what? These same blue-Collar white men, will be the first person to tell you, to " TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY". So I'm saying the same thing to them. TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Go back to school and get a degree. If not then stop complaining. These same cacs had decades of White privilege, and now complaining that they didn't maximize it to the fullest level?
Them!

This has the potential to be blown up like that "cling to guns and religion" comment but I don't think anyone outside of Fox News is going to care.
You say "outside of fox news" as if thats "no one"

While fox news and by extension Murdoch's company is a good slice it's still a slice of American news that the younger crowd doesn't pay attention to.
Like I said, it has the potential to blow up, but I wouldn't bet on it blowing up outside of Fox.
Well, I mean, FOX news (and their base) is going to hate Obama anyway. So I'm not sure there's any point in him even caring what they say.
In fact one of my biggest criticisms of Obama throughout his presidency was that he was too scared of upsetting FOX News. Which is pointless considering they'll find something to be upset about regardless.
Well thats the thing, he had to win reelection, then he had to not toss the post-presidency away.
This dude really is one of the GOATs...ONE of the GOATs. Top 10. Easy.

Again they had it and wasted it. I show no sympathy for those who don't try to get an education; unless they're black, then I'll do whatever to encourage them. When it comes to these cacs? Fukk em!
