Obama's Saddam Hussein Jab at Trump's Ornate WH Backfires as Critics Point Out He Built a 'Wizard Prison'

If people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, what does one say about a man in an ugly granite and concrete house?

I suppose Barack Obama feels a bit safer, from all indications. The former president, on the road trying to shore up support for Senate candidate Sherrod Brown in Ohio, decided that it was high time to bring out the hoary leftist line that President Donald Trump is tacky.

Not only did he manage to make himself look elitist, but he also looked like a wretched hypocrite.

In case you haven’t caught any of Obama’s speeches on the campaign trail this time around, they’ve mostly been substance-free ad hominem attempts at political stand-up — at least when they go viral.

No more bitter clinger nonsense; he knows better than that. Instead, he’s found a different way to sound elitist: criticizing Trump’s taste, particularly in White House renovations.

“I mean, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but he seems very focused on home renovations,” Obama told the crowd in Ohio. “He should be on HGTV.”

Oh, but then the punchline: “He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.”
