Laura Ingraham didn’t pull any punches Thursday when sharing her opinion of Barack Obama insisting, “he despises middle America, he cannot stand middle America, he thinks it’s a rotten, horrible, dark, horrible country.”

On “The Laura Ingraham Show,” she said Obama “despises the American understanding so much that he goes over to the Philippines and he trashes half of the governors of the United States of America.” (RELATED: Rubio Blasts Obama: ‘Focuses On The Petty Instead Of Being Presidential’ [VIDEO])

Ingraham also took shots at Speaker of the House [crscore]Paul Ryan,[/crscore] suggesting he was sounding awfully like President Obama in calling for a “pause” before letting Syrians refugees into America. (RELATED: Speaker Ryan On Refugees: ‘We Cannot Let Terrorists Take Advantage’ [VIDEO])

On Tuesday, Ryan said, “This is a moment where it’s better to be safe than to be sorry. So, we think the prudent, responsible thing is to take a pause in this particular aspect of this refugee program in order to verify that terrorists are not trying to infiltrate the refugee population.”

Ingraham questioned, “Why would you use Obama’s phrasing, unless you were more worried about what the New York Times editorial board, or the elites at the Council on Foreign Relations thought about you, than you were about what your own people thought of you?” (RELATED: Limbaugh Endorses Speaker Ryan’s Assessment Of Syrian Refugee Problem)

“Paul Ryan puts a so called ‘pause,’ which doesn’t really pause it, because you know the administration can come up with some type of verification that on the surface will look fine,” claimed Ingraham. “How many of you trust this administration to vet anyone?”

Ingraham then laid into the Obama administration, “Are they going to vet them as well as they vetted those Somalians, who went up to Minnesota and then went back to fight with the Islamists in Africa? You going to do as well as they vetted the Tsarnaev family? That same vetting, really? That worked out really well for us, didn’t it? We’re going to trust this administration?”

Ingraham explained that a few years ago, Obama “attacked Paul Ryan to his face.” She explained, “You think Paul Ryan would learn after that, right? Obama just despises you, and frankly he despises middle America, he cannot stand middle America, he thinks it’s a rotten, horrible, dark, horrible country. That’s what Obama believes. He despises the American understanding so much that he goes over to the Philippines and he trashes half of the governors of the United States of America. And Paul Ryan’s going to use his language?” (RELATED: [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore]: Mr. President ‘Insult Me To My Face’ [VIDEO])
