This should drive the left along with the Cast of THE VIEW crazy

Why would it?
If one has kept the eyes open during Obamas second term one knows that Obama was pretty far to the right and pretty high up authoritarian, not far away from Republicans.

Not a miracle he can be friends with Trump and not a miracle either they are both ignoring the supposedly inferior woman and her significantly less far right husband.
I would have been surprised if it had been differently.

Two people talking at a funeral does not equate to friendship.

Anyome claiming that Obama was "far to the right" is a foreigner, needs to have his head examined, or, as in this case, both.

reply

All Obama had to do was stay in bed and taxes would go back to 2000 Clinton/Gingrich.

Instead, Obama made most of Bush's reckless tax cuts permanent... after Obama had already won reelection...

reply

Oh for Christ sake, Obama was NOT far to the right being the one who started all of this Transgender bullshit in his passionate speech he gave back in 2012

You really need to at least be aware of the definitions of things you want to talk about.
You're talking about left and right like a blind about red and blue.
Ask Google for the definition of political left and right and then see in between the 100s of 1000s of hits Google finds, how many of them mention Transgender at all (other than a few bloggers who copy this nonsense from each other).
Maybe then you realize that all the stuff you condemn the left for isn't even part of the left, because it has nothing to do with left and right.

Claiming Obama wasn't a right winger because he was supporting Transgender is similar to claiming Schnitzel isn't meat because it's covered in breadcrumbs.
Transgenders are protected by several articles in the constitution, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom to do whatever anyone wants to do, and protecting the constitution is mandantory for all politicians including right wingers, they all swear an oath on that when they take office.
If some extremist right wingers chose to ignore the constitution and try to replace it with religious BS that's not the fault of politicians who do honor the constitution.

Hey, c'mon. "Google" says that Obama's far right. Case closed.

In the history of the world suppressing part of the people, even a minority has NEVER worked in the long run.
The Egyptians tried it, the Greeks tried it, the Romans tried it, French and Russian aristocrats tried it, the Nazis tried it, South Africa tried it, the eastern German Republic tried it, none ever succeeded in suppressing anything, they had to keep increasing the force they were using and the more force they used the more violence they got back.
On start they all thought some 10% or so of the population isn't a problem, we can either lock them up or kill them, but as increasing governmental force caused increasing resistance, in the end they all had to realize, you cannot lock up or kill 90% of the population in an attempt to run politics that only the top 0.1% of the population benefit from, because there always comes the point where the mass of those who no longer agree with the government becomes so big that the ones on top cannot keep them under control anymore. That usually happens when either the police or the military switches sides, because police officers and/or soldiers are no longer willing to shoot unarmed civilians.
The only difference between old times and nowadays is that these things develop much much faster, where the Egyptians and Romans were able to keep going for centuries, racism in South Africa lasted only 41 years and the Nazis were done after 12 years.

The best quote I ever heard came from Richard Wolff (US economist) who went through the list of all these attempts and when he got to the French aristocrats he summarized how it ended with "they didn't see it coming until they not only got separated from their wealth but also from their heads".
