an ad targeting Joe Biden from a pro-Trump super PAC that takes his words out of context
Now who would make such a horrible thing!
Oh, right. Republican politicians.

The perpetrator is never a victim. He’s nothing more than a predator. (pages 93-94).
A life is a life, and if you criminally take an innocent life, you’d better be prepared to forfeit your own. My only complaint is that lethal injection is too comfortable a way to go. (pages 102-103).
Criminals are often returned to society because of forgiving judges. This has to stop. We need to hold judges more accountable… The rest of us need to rethink prisons and punishment. The next time you hear someone saying there are too many people in prison, ask them how many thugs they’re willing to relocate to their neighborhood. The answer: None. (pages 106-107).

You know how the most rabid anti-gay men always turn out to be closeted?
This screed sounds like a sociopath and he’s going off on sociopaths - it’s one long projection. The inside of his head is so goddamn ugly. I could almost pity the man.

Not even close to Obama’s voice.
Why didn’t Obama’s staff call that out?

Hmmm, this will be read by many South Carolina Voters (probably correctly) as a tacit endorsement… very carefully done by Obama. Gotta give him credit, very skillfully done… wink, wink.

Alright DNC, please come to the rescue with money for ads, simply splice together different words POTUS has used to say whatever you want them to say. Make theTV stations make a choice. An altered, lacking context ad, versus and ad that deliberately makes no attempt to justify the statements in the ad with accuracy or context.
Donald trump, “America is weak, America is a witch hunt, America is fake news, Republicans first, everyone else should go to jail!”
I am not a video person, come on. Fight them like the CIA.

Thank deity that criminals cannot be returned to society because of an imbecilic president.

I had to watch the commercial a couple times to even understand what they were trying to say. It seems clear that Obama was talking about when he was growing up, or perhaps while organizing in Chicago? I guess the juxtaposition was meant to be misleading but it just seemed plain stupid.
This is no time for Katie Hill or a lawyer letter.
C’mon, 44, you’re up. Shoot this down yourself. We’re going to need you a lot this year.

Presumably it’s from one of his audiobooks? People can sound a little artificial when doing narration.

Or, y’know, he’s just telling them to knock it off because it’s wrong on so many levels.

So the Criminal IMPeetus’ NYT lawsuit against an opinion was really a projection - that the Criminal IMPeetus wished he had the valid reason to file a lawsuit - as Pres Obama should do against the Pro-Trump Super PAC because they sliced and diced his words to weaponize it against Biden and sow chaos!
The Criminal IMPeetus + ReThugniCONS had/are Cheating, Lying, and Stealing elections BIGLY!
The HYPOCRISY is YUGEHHHH!
The conspiracy with Russia and who knows who else - is clearly against the USC at best, betrayal to our country at worst!
Obama is wise not to endorse and needs to be careful what he says in public at this point so that his support for the eventual candidate will be unalloyed when the general rolls around.

At the moment so do a plurality of Democratic voters (he’s not my first choice, but denying reality is kind of a gop trait, one we should not emulate).
Yep, more than likely created in a room full of MAGAts and Republicants. Oh, and howler monkeys . . . gotta have 'em for effect.
