IDBillzFan Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Its not her.............................its us Straight from the Barack Obama School of Incompetence Playbook. I remember during his first five or six years explaining to the media that the reason his policies and plans weren't working was because he simply wasn't explaining everything in terms simple enough for the average idiot American to understand. It's not him. It's us! If only we were smarter than the dumbass in office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not him. It's us! If only we were smarter than the dumbass in office. I hate to say it but it is us. If the collective "we" had more on the ball, Obama would never have been re-elected, Hillary would be polling single digits, Bernie would not even be running, Trump would not be leading and several more capable people (who have never run) would be candidates because voters would have a history of rejecting the liars, windbags, the incompetent and anyone that is far left.
