This comment was directed at David Cameron and this was on record, unlike Donnie Dotard lying about his. He should have a said a shit hole like George Bush left Iraq, another shit show of gargantuan proportions and all he got back was a pair of shoes thrown at him.

Quote:
Barack Obama has sharply criticised David Cameron for the UK’s role in allowing Libya to become a “shit show” after the fall of the dictator Muammar Gaddafi, in an unprecedented attack on a British leader by a serving US President.

Mr Obama said that following a successful military intervention to aid rebels during the 2011 Arab Spring revolt, Libya was left to spiral out of control – due largely to the inaction of America’s European allies.

In a candid US magazine interview, Mr Obama said: “When I go back and I ask myself what went wrong… there’s room for criticism, because I had more faith in the Europeans, given Libya’s proximity, being invested in the follow-up.”

'Distracted' Cameron helped turn Libya into a mess, Barack Obama says
Singling out the British Prime Minister, he suggested that Mr Cameron had taken his eye off Libya after being “distracted by a range of other things”.

Mr Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy, then the French President, pushed hard for the bombing raids on Colonel Gaddafi’s forces that led to his fall, but since 2011 Libya has sunk further into violence and civil war, and latterly has become a focal point for Isis in North Africa.

Mr Obama went on: “We actually executed this plan as well as I could have expected: We got a UN mandate, we built a coalition, it cost us $1bn – which, when it comes to military operations, is very cheap. We averted large-scale civilian casualties, we prevented what almost surely would have been a prolonged and bloody civil conflict. And despite all that, Libya is a mess.”

That's right- it's on the record that Obama spouted racist crap, while the allegation against Trump comes from one known serial liar, with no one else in attendance backing him up.

You have some of these countries where sixth grade is the average adult education.

But, that has nothing to do with it. Just race.

You have some of these red counties in this country where sixth grade, probably fourth or fifth grade, is the average adult education and reading level...and it's not due to race. It's due to local red neck conservative delusional christian control of local school boards and the fucked up curriculum they foist on the unfortunate children therein.

Yep. That is definitely the problem in Detroit.

And they wind up as Fox “News” consuming, non thinking conservatives, who vote incompetent morons like Trump into office. Sad!

There is a reason why much of Americas deepest, most stubborn poverty lies in the Bible Belt. It has something to do with the way ignorance is worn like a badge of honor and being poor while refusing to ask for help from anyone, is perceived as a virtue. If you're the local rich guy who owns local businesses and wants a reliable supply of cheap, docile labor........it works out great. And your generous donations to the local clergy help to keep it that way. They'll make sure the congregation understands that rich guys who own businesses are blessed and sent by God. And therefore, not to be questioned.

Why is Mr. Obama's comment racist?

I take this in reference to the war torn part of the world called Middle East and the wars started with the 'shock and awe" invasion of Iraq Cheney & Rumsfeld with Bush II as the puppet.

Besides Obama's comment is directed at Cameron, one head of state speaking and criticizing another. Tweet would have been better?

Well.........unless you think a black guy criticizing a white guy is racism.
