Hear Obama to know just how screwed up American politicians are. Far more than our home-grown Indian ones

As the US and the world watches Barack Obama step down after his 8 year term, he sure isn’t quiet about what he hates - tactics of some in the Republican party, and some who might go on to become the next President of the United States.

In a recent CSPAN video, Barack Obama did a seven-minute roast of the Republican party. POTUS cuts slack most of the rhetoric used during presidential campaign speeches by the G.O.P. He makes it a point to prove that a lot of what’s being said is plain wrong, and is being used to scare gullible American voters.

Poking fun at the rhetoric around the time the global financial crisis hit, Obama says, “They occupy a different reality it seems. According to them, everything was really good in 2008 when were going through the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes.”

“Unemployment and uninsured rates were up, we were hopelessly addicted to foreign oil, Bin Laden was still on the loose. This was apparently the golden age that I messed up.”

Obama even went as far as to make it public that the Republican Chairmen of the Senate Environment Committee carried a snowball into the Senate chambers to prove climate change isn’t a big concern.

“You go to 100 doctors and 99 of ‘em tell you you’ve got diabetes; you’ve got to stop eating bacon and doughnuts everyday and we have to monitor your health and we have to fix this. You wouldn’t say ‘Ohhh, that’s a conspiracy. They’re making that up. All 99 of those doctors got together with Obama to try to prevent me from having bacon and doughnuts.’ You wouldn’t do that!”

His hilarious comments saw the audience erupted into applause. Someone even yells “preach!”
