None of the founding fathers thought that when it comes to the president carrying out his duties, he can do it for three years and then on the last year stop doing it."

Dear alt-right poster boy. Obama's comments were in response to Mitch McConnell's and Chuck Grassley's op-ed in the Washington Post earlier that morning where they told the voters they were taking away the constitutional right of the sitting President to nominate his supreme court pick. This is a condemnation of the Republicans doing something unconstitutional. Obama's comments are probably too long and nuanced for you, so maybe a translation in Trumpelstilskinian will help you better understand the issue?
"Moscow" Mitch McConnell and Chuck "Gassy" Grassley are bitter losers and don't believe the rules apply to them. There's no way this should happen. I am prepared to make a tremendous pick for the court. This could be the greatest pick in the history of picks. But crybaby Mitch is taking his ball and going home with it, breaking the system."
There, now do you understand alt-right poster boy?

Unfortunately, I simply don't read long multi-quotes which parse individual posts. It's a boring way to communicate. TL;DR if you feel so inclined. Or don't - up to you.

You just crushed what little argument I had and pantsed me so badly that I have no retort. But if I throw out a TL;DR I don't come off looking like the ####tard I just proved myself to be. Just assume I have exhausted any good arguments. rheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Back to 4chan.
