President Obama compared the Republican White House contenders to Internet celebrity Grumpy Cat on Friday, saying they go out of their way to see only bad news under his administration.
In a speech to the Democratic National Committee Women’s Leadership Forum meant to rally the party ahead of 2016, Obama criticized the GOP for painting a “gloomy” picture of the country for political gain.
“Overall, we are making enormous progress. And it does make you wonder why is it that Republican politicians are so down on America?” Obama said. “I mean, they are gloomy. They’re like Grumpy Cat.”
Trying to connect with a younger generation of voters, Obama mimicked the Internet meme’s sour face, drawing a raucous reaction from the crowd.
