Rubio: ‘There is no doubt’ Obama helped stoke recent political chaos

[still_one]

TAMPA -- Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said Saturday that "There's no doubt" President Obama has helped stoke the caustic rhetoric and violence displayed at recent political rallies held by Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

Earlier Saturday, Rubio lashed out at his rival Trump for failing to condemn violent protests at his recent public events and lamented that the increasingly nasty nature of American politics "is now bleeding over into the broader culture." But he also faulted Obama, saying the president had contributed to the coarsening political debate.

Asked in an interview to give a specific example of how Obama has divided the country, Rubio cited an April 2011 speech used to criticize a budget proposal written by then-House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). With Ryan sitting in the audience, Obama said that the GOP's budgeting vision "is less about reducing the deficit than it is about changing the basic social compact in America."

3. I'm so happy little Marco is going to get his political just reward on Tuesday

losing his home state to Donald Trump! while I believe Kasich will win his home state. Little Marco is finished as a political force & with the loss of Florida will have no reason to continue running for president. To think this is the guy the establishment and the media thought was the Great hope of the GOP this year.

4. Laughable, isn't it?

Rubio was somehow supposed to recover from his malfunction to politically slay Drumpf and Hillary.

Or at least it seemed plausible to RMoney.

6. he is so full of himself

He can not even realuze he is going to be trumped in Florida. If he was smart he would get out of the race before he gets crushed in order to preserve a political future. If he is routed in his state his career is over. Good for us democrats.

7. Rubio is an airhead.

The best he can do is cite comments President Obama made FIVE years ago about the budget. What a dummy.
