This is false everywhere in the world you look. Does the Democrats’ new all-purpose bogeyman, Russia, think of America as stronger? Hardly. Does the Islamic State, that exists because of Obama’s actions? Do the other forces of global jihad? Does Israel, so often hectored, treated with disrespect, and betrayed by Obama? Does Iran, to which Obama has given billions while Iranians chant, “Death to America”?
“Obama Pats Himself On The Back: ‘Every Country On Earth Sees America As Stronger’ Than Before I Took Office [VIDEO],” by Christian Datoc, Daily Caller, December 16, 2016:
President Barack Obama gave himself a big pat on the back during his Friday press conference, the last press event he will hold in 2016.
Obama opened the press conference by touting his economic and policy achievements before heaping praise on his own shoulders.
“Almost every country on Earth sees America as stronger and more respected today than they did eight years ago.”
“In other words, by so many measures, our country is stronger and more prosperous than when we started,” he continued. “It is a situation that I am proud to leave for my successor, and it’s thanks to the American people.”…
Buford says
Obama is a legend IN HIS OWN MIND nobody else with an ounce of a brain thinks he is anything great
Charles says
Well said Mr. Buford.
Thank you. You took the words right out of my mouth. ☺
Charles Martel says
I was going to say the same thing almost verbatim! Thumb’s Up!
Winston says
He looks like the boy who has been caught with his hand in the sweetie jar.
A Harris USA says
Buford, exactly!!! My question is, WHERE IS JAN.20th???!!!! OMG!!!! If I have to listen to this nut job one more day, I may just check my self into an asylum until 1-20-17!!!!
Yeah, I AM one of the Russian-Americans who voted for TRUMP, nice of him to credit my family, a large one, with putting Trump in office… The self-absorbed idiot is crazy… BTW so is his old lady!!! LMAO

RichardL says
people always say Obama is smart and he is just an isolated ideologue; I disagree: I think he is one of those truly stupid people.
He never had to work hard for anything; everything was given to him.
Keys says
Uh huh. Michelle is spewing the same distortions about US progress, strength, respect, and hope credited to the Obama organized community just as their minions are plotting to steal the US Presidential election via more distortion and threats toward the members of the electoral college. All planned, multi-pronged, attack strategies from the Alinsky playbook.
Yesterday
O. Winfrey: “Your husband’s administration… was all about hope. Do you think that this administration achieved that?”
M. Obama: “Yes, I do. Because we feel the difference now,” she says. “See now we are feeling what not having hope feels like, you know. Hope is necessary. It is a necessary concept.”
Sure, sure – just look at all the hope spread across the Middle East. One more apology tour in Cairo, please.
Lesley says
I thought Michelle Obama’s no hope was hilarious, because I have hope now that my kids can have a decent future since Trump won.
Her feeling of hopelessness may be baseless, but I am glad she’s experiencing hopelessness… I hope she enjoys feeling no hope the way the silent majority have under her husband’s policies; I enjoyed hearing that she feels that way– serves her right.
Sikkov Munkyshines says
The bitch is just PO’d because she won’t have any more taxpayer-funded Endless Vacations for her & her entourage , wno more shoveling Lobster, Caviar, Foie Gras, filet Mignon into her woodchipper maw on the taxpayer’s Millions, Adios Mooch-elle, don’t let the door hit you in your phony ass ….& GOOD RIDDANCE to BAD Garbage!
terry says
What does she know about hopelessness? Her children are given the best education, no thugs nor gangs in their schools. Her bank accounts are full and her homes are million dollar affairs. Her medical is provided free for life. She and her family eat, sleep, and live well- what hopelessness does she personally endure? Someone disagrees with her? Someone thinks she is arrogant, proud, and elitist? She is not abused, not beaten nor raped as many women are around the world? WHAT HOPELESSNESS???

Leaving office the way he entered it: delusional and incompetent.
Wellington says
The man has learned nothing. He never will. He lives in a fantasy world that he believes corresponds with reality.
Meanwhile, Putin, the Chinese, the Iranians and so many others must be laughing their heads off at this latest example of Obamathink. Ah, January 20th can’t come soon enough.
DFD says
Wellington says: “….and so many others must be laughing their heads off….”
Of course they do! After all, there’s never been a greater comdeian in the white house than Barack hussain. Whos says Muslims don’t have a sense of humour?
waterdog says
Obama can’t stand the fact that his policies have been rejected by the American people and that Trump is ready to make America work again and put America first. Obama’s legacy is a pathetic tryst with Islam and Socialism that will be repudiated. Obama = Loser.
G. R. Gunning says
Well; that’s 6 out of 6 so far that think he’s a total failure. Add me too.

cheryl s. says
The psychiatric definition of DELUSIONAL: Maintaining fixed false beliefs even when confronted with facts usually as a result of mental illness. The mad, bad and decidedly dangerous, “Narcissist in Chief” Obama fits the definition to a tee.
kilfincelt says
Absolutely! He is totally delusional and the worst President that we have had to date. He found everything out by watching the TV. He has lied about everything. His administration has been involved with scandal after scandal; yet, he has the nerve to say that his administration has had no scandals. He should be locked up in a padded cell, never to see the light of day.
Oliver says
K–in my view, rather than lock him up in a padded cell, why not just send him back to Kenya?
If they won’t take him, Somalia is nearby. Just get him, his wife, mother in law and daughters out of here. Will raise the national IQ.
Gee says
He administration has had no scandals that his administration has ever investigated. There fixed the sentenced
Martin says
I’m counting the seconds until this unbearable narcissist leaves office. Won’t it be great to never have to listen to these mindbogglingly stupid rants any more? I am so looking forward to that. Not long to go!
steve says
well you say it do you see it ?
Kiel says
Obama is no more than a hired hand and as such an amateur from the inauguration to the finishing line. Even his birth certificate is faked, so he’s a faked prez all the way. And as the Global Elitist’s automaton, all his presidential decrees has to be nullified.
ibrahim itace muhammed says
mr spencer,to your estimation the sign of strength for the united states to engage in international brigandage like what geoge w bush did,which led america to almost economic depression above recession.obama stoped that nonsense and led america to highest economic growth rate since its created.now the madman donald trump will come taking america to stone age as he promised.let the mad dog execute those barbaric policies and see what will happene to america .it will become the poorest on earth bellow somalia.then mr spencer,if you are alive,you clap for your hero mad trump for doing good job.many competing nations are happy that this clueless is elected as president of the arrogant nation so as bypass it economically.today military stength never determines influence.many nations now possess the same military capabilies with united states.who she is going to bully to submission?obama understands the problem and has been able to steer america tactically,hence economic growth.now stupid americans say we dont like it that way.we want some one who will push america back to the days of international brigandage to steat resources from weak nations even if it is going cost them 10 times of what they will get from stealing.when w bush invaded iraq did he recover what america lost in the prosecution of that war?if donald will pay me ,i will do for him cost-benefit analysis before embarking into that mad policy that will bring america to demise.i will not do it free because trump hates islam
RichardL says
Well, you got one thing thing right! That’s not bad for someone with that surname
Oliver says
2 questions Mr(?)
1. what does : brigandage mean?
2. what are you ranting about? I cannot follow this rant. (Nor, can I follwo most of your rants).
Damocles Junior says
Assuming ibrahim is not a complete troll we are simply reading a typical example of Muslim incoherent thinking and logic.
Cecilia Ellis says
Oliver, here is the definition of brigandage:
“Brigandage refers to the life and practice of brigands: highway robbery and plunder. A brigand is a person who usually lives in a gang and lives by pillage and robbery.”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigandage
I suspect that Ibrahim has absolutely no idea what the meaning of the word “brigandage” is … just as he appears to have no idea about anything else, as incessantly demonstrated by his inane, incoherent, rambling and repetitive spam.
Gee says
In answer to your first question
brigandage – acting like an Islamofascist thief.
Kiel says
What about a comment in plain English?
Angemon says
Hi there, Ebionite. How about you try to use punctuation and paragraphs as if they’re your pet goat?

The idea that attempting to defend against Jihad is “brigandage” is simply absurd.

Actually, Obama continued many of Bush’s policies re Afghanistan and Iraq, for good or ill.

When did Trump promise to take America to the stone age? I must have missed that speech…
And look how hilarious this is–even this Mohammedan realizes that the yardstick for worst economic basket-case is Muslim Somalia.

……………………………
Where to start? Firstly, given Robert Spencer’s age and health, the reference to “if you are alive” over the next eight years can only be taken as a threat. *Ugh*.
Then, the idea that other nations are anticipating passing the US economically is just silly–is he hoping that this will include stagnant Muslim nations? Dream on…
Then, his notion that military strength has never had any influence is just laughable–why would his coreligionists wage violent Jihad, in that case?
And the idea that many nations now possess the same military capabilities as the US is simply false. In fact, No other nation does:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Military_Strength_Index
And muhammed’s constant characterization of Spencer as an uncritical supporter of Trump is ridiculous, in any case.

Notice that muhammed here cannot even keep his story straight. The reason the US never recouped what we spent foolishly attempting to bring democracy to the barbaric Iraqi Muslims is because we never “steat” resources from other countries.

Well, that’s just hilarious. Why would Donald Trump want to hire the illiterate muhammed?
As for his cost-benefit analysis skills, he has repeatedly claimed that if Muslims on the dole decamped from Dar-al-Harb that this would–somehow–bankrupt the West. That he is incapable of understanding that this would *save* the West just proves how ignorant he is.

Hussein Obama is a closet muzzie and not a good man.

Stan Lee says
I believe that the condition of the United States requires a hard working individual such as Donald Trump to inherit the challenge of reviving this nation.
Obama has been the most negligent, disinterested, President of this nation and I’m judging that from the many Presidents since Harry Truman beat Thomas Dewey to be reelected.
I voted for Truman in that election. After Truman, I voted for one more Democrat, John F. Kennedy.
Obama has been the least considerate of the national debt, the worst agitator of racism, the most lawless hater of the U.S. Constitution, Oath of Allegiance, and the Stars & Stripes.
He knows nothing but the dogma of Communism, taken from Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, his bible! Alinsky was an arch-Communist from Chicago. BHO has intentionally endeavored to weaken this nation in every regard that his office could cover. Even the Dept. of Justice was corrupted by the Democrats led by Obama!
I cannot recall any President who has lied as much as Obama, there is no one second to him for that flawed characteristic..
How he ever was granted a second term is inexplicable to me, I cannot believe that there were so many Americans sufficiently stupid to elect him not just once, but twice! PC took him a very long way, to the jeopardy of this nation!
I’m sure Trump understands what is ahead, He was right that the system “was rigged.” It shut out Sanders in favor of H.Clinton, the system then anticipated an easy victory for Clinton over Trump (or any other Republican), but Trump’s strength and forthrightness, plus Clinton’s never ending scandals and lies upon lies, finally caught up with her no matter how much Soros money was spent for her…..Thank God!
Kiel says
Good comment. Spot on Mr. Lee.
Damocles Junior says
I would suggest that any new found respect for America during the final 2 months of the Obama presidency is due to the Trump factor.

Stronger…in odor maybe. And anger.
If he said, “everything I say is a lie” it would be the only truthful thing ever said by him. But arrogance is too strongly entrenched and the saying, “power corrupts’ is so much more when the person was already in that condition before gaining power.
History holds the good, the bad and the ugly. The bad and ugly sometimes meld. Often, even. Then it becomes evil.

The problems was the fundamentally change our government and culture by allowing mosque bearing sharia doctrine to boldly arise, after 9/11 that is quite an accomplishment and a very close call that may be getting the brakes.

I hate to say it but there might be some truth to Obamas words. Think about it, how could any other than a strong nation survive 8 years of presedency of this useful idiot?
Rufolino says
Obama (and his wife) are blatantly engaged in rearguard-action to salvage their withering reputations.
What Obama has been saying and doing since Trump’s election does not become him. On the contrary, he is damaging his own name.
His and his wife’s attempts to slander and undermine his duly elected successor are embarrassing and disgraceful.
(This comes from an Englishman living in Italy.)
Louise M. says
Obama still schizophrenic….Michelle is loosing all hope knowing that he will now spend
more time with the family.
A one way ticket to Kenya is strongly recommended. With Oprah, BLM and CAIR in their suitcases. They will all be so happy there, and so will we.
Gordon Miller says
The amazing thing about Obama’s statement about the increase of America’s strength and prestige under his administration is that he was able to utter these words with a straight face.
DERMOTRE says
Obama lives in a “Fool’s Paradise”. Liberalism [as is understood today] is a fool’s philosophy which deceives itself that Evil can be overcome with “tolerance” and “niceness”. History says otherwise, but we seemed doomed never to learn from history. Ronald Reagan had wisdom and understood that evil had to be confronted with overwhelming force. Churchill and FDR also understood this truth. Obama has the “clever” and “smart” words, but behind these words is an “empty suit” with not an ounce of wisdom. He is a vacuous and adolescent celebrity who feeds on a cult of “fame”.

China – captures drone. Builds militarized islands in Pacific
Iran – captures navy vessel and tests ballistic missiles at will.
Just a short list of countries that think we are weaker and have shown this by their actions.
I’d like to hear Obama name the ones that think we are stronger.
His recent speeches announcing his success are proof he is a failure. Successful people don’t have to do this.

Our allies don’t trust us, our enemies don’t fear us. China plucks our probe right out of the water. Russia laughs @ Obama’s red lines in the sand. Invades & occupies Crimea, now threatens Ukraine & it’s neighbors. Iran continues to build the nuke after giving them $150 billion, N.Korea remains an infected pimple on the ass of the civilized world. Obama a jr senator from the corrupt city of Chicago is inept, inexperienced, his acute narcissism has prevented him from learning on the job. He replaces intelligence personnel with yes-men. Worse is that he’s a pathological lying Marxist who uses veiled rhetoric in trying to confuse people. Only by the protection of the Democrat adoring Corrupt Lib Media who covers for this destroyer of society has he not been impeached.
Geppetto says
All who support Obama, adore him, idolize him, place him on a pedestal and voted for him, twice, should eventually, finally, realize that his opinion of them is not reciprocated. This Harvard educated, community organizer demonstrates his low opinion of the intelligence of all his adoring supporters every time he makes these self congratulatory comments that are so easily proven to be demonstrably false. He lies through his affirmative action teeth because he knows he’ll never be called on it in any meaningful way, at least in real time. To do so could only be motivated by “right wing racism” as his adoring media sycophants, being incapable of overcoming or acknowledging their religious fervor, will dutifully regurgitate at every opportunity, in prime time and on the front page above the fold.
Norbert says
Better, stronger, more prosperous, ad barfium. Over his administration, he’s fiddled with key metrics like unemployment, labor force counts, the debt, the deficit, ACA enrollments, to the point that the numbers are next to meaningless. He will compare those to their “equivalents” at the time of his inauguration and claim victory based on false comparisons. Every major metric he changed, was restructured to produce a more favorable number to make himself look good. The flim-flam man, doing what he does best: slinging manure.
And the MSM ate it all up, with gusto.
