"Who is a snake and an ingrate" - Ex-Illinois governor accuses Barack Obama of selfishness and political opportunism on Joe Rogan's podcast
A former governor of Illinois recently made a few scathing accusations against ex-POTUS Barack Obama during his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. He also highlighted how Obama's actions were often "selfish" in nature.
The 57-year-old hosted the ex-Illinois governor, Rod Blagojevich, for episode #2245 of JRE, where the duo discussed several political issues.
Amidst one such discussion, Blagojevich highlighted that he views the current U.S. president-elect, Donald Trump, as a better individual than the former president, Barack Obama. Blagojevich also derided Obama due to his selfish nature:
"I love Donald Trump for a lot of reasons. Of course, because he gave my daughters their father back. So, I write well about him. He comes across very well. Obama doesn't come across so good. He doesn't come across as evil, but he comes across as a very selfish, very, you know, calculated politician."
Blagojevich continued his disses for Obama for allegedly being an "ingrate" and betraying his political financer-friend, Tony Rezko:
"[Obama] is a snake and an ingrate, who sold out his friend Tony Resco, who bought him a lot. This guy bought him a lot next to a mansion that he bought, after he [Obama] was elected to the United States Senate."

Joe Rogan stands in good agreement with Rod Blagojevich's views about Donald Trump
Apart from dissing Barack Obama on Joe Rogan's podcast, Rod Blagojevich also clarified that he counts Donald Trump as a better individual for multiple reasons.
Not much can be said about whether Rogan agrees with Blagojevich's remarks about Obama. However, his words about Trump on JRE indicate that he shares the ex-Illinois governor's views.
In an episode of JRE, Rogan confessed that he wasn't keen on supporting Trump before The Trump Organization head honcho's eccentric persona turned him into an appreciator from a naysayer:
"He's [Trump] definitely very persuasive... He's great at making friends and making relationships... and if you're his enemy, you don't wanna get on his bad side... But that's him... The guy's right there. You can talk to him about everything and anything and he's right there... You're getting what you get, that's who the guy is. I like him, 'I've grown to like him."
