Ingraham Blasts Obama: ‘He Despises Middle America,’ Thinks It’s ‘Rotten And ‘Horrible’

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])

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
