I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Right out of Hitler’s playbook. This is horrific
NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

But Obama spent $376 million.
1. Bush requested the spending, not Obama.
2. Congress approved it.
3. The money was spent to upgrade the aging infrastructure in the 200-year-old building.
4. They didn’t tear down 1/3 of the White House.
5. They didn’t lie about it to the American people.

lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me.

Trump the White House's East Wing: “It was never thought of as being much. It was a very small building, and rather than allowing that to hurt, a very expensive, beautiful building that frankly they've been after for years…In order to do it properly, we had to take down the existing structure.”
