Speaking at the Women’s Leadership Forum, President Obama took a playful swat at Republican rivals,comparing them to infamous internet meme ‘Grumpy Cat.’
The President began his speech on an optimistic note, saying:
“Now the point is overall we’re making enormous progress..And it does makes you wonder why Republican politicians are all so down on America. Have you noticed that? They are gloomy, they are like Grumpy Cat.” ( impressive Grumpy Cat impression here) The President continued; ” Everything’s terrible according to them. We’re doomed! I know it’s political season, but you listen to them and they’ve constructed this whole separate reality, like the Twilight Zone, and according to their story – their narrative, everything was terrific back in 2008, when unemployment was skyrocketing and insurance rates were rising, folks were losing their homes and their jobs. We were engaged in two wars, bin Laden was still at large. If you are listening to them, those are like the good old days. “
Not everyone will be charmed by the President’s Grumpy Cat, but those folks are having a bad week anyway.
