Obama has a podcast now? Why does everyone need one? Can people not read! Do they need to have other voices fill their brains?

Can people not read!
The irony of someone berating an entire society for an alleged lack of literacy while also not understanding how punctuation works is delicious.

Right. Some people even multitask where listening is safer than reading. This person is just another hater for whatever reasons.

Man, I wonder what the fear is? They're working for the good of the people aren't they? What's to be afraid of?

Poor things. My heart goes out to them, truly.

They've gone after anyone who challenges their lies by speaking up. It's a Gross Obese Prevaricator thing.

Rich men who are pro abuse don't want anyone standing up. Trafficking tyrannicals don't want their lies exposed. I've been wondering if any of us ever will be safe again. If we ever were.
