President Obama on Friday compared the 2016 GOP presidential field to an Internet cat sensation who is making his owner millions for his malformed face.
“They’re so gloomy,” he said referring to Republican leaders’ national outlook. “They’re like Grumpy Cat,” he said before mimicking the famous feline. “Everything is terrible, according to them. ‘We’re doomed!’ I know it’s political season but you listen to them and they’ve constructed this entire separate reality. It’s like the ‘Twilight Zone.'”
He said that after Democrats swept Congress and the White House in 2008, the nation’s prosperity was buoyed. “But according to them, that’s when everything went to heck,” Obama said.

He also compared their denials that climate change is occurring to a sick patient who refuses to listen to his doctors.
“If you went to 100 doctors and 99 of them said, ‘you are really sick; you’ve got,’ let’s say, ‘high cholesterol.’ What would you do?” Obama asked a group of national Democrats gathered in Washington for a women’s leadership forum. “Would you say those 99 doctors are crazy and part of a wild-eyed socialist plot to prevent you from eating cheese?”
“Or would you say, ‘you know what? I bet the doctors know what they’re taking about. I’ve got to modify my diet a little bit?'” he continued.
“That’s how they’re approaching this existential threat to our future,” he said, calling on the group to help elect a Democrat in 2016 who will combat climate change.
