President Obama on Donald Trump: “It’s strange how over time what is crazy gets normalized and we just kind of assume, ‘Well, you know what? He says 100 crazy things, so the 101st thing we just don’t even notice'”.
Formerly known as “that’s just Joe being Joe“.
An example of what is crazy being normalized in the age of Obama:

The USS Zumwalt Can’t Fire Its Guns Because the Ammo Is Too Expensive
At $800,000 a round, the ammunition is simply to expensive for the Navy to afford.
Popular Mechanics | November 7, 2016
“Just three weeks after commissioning the USS Zumwalt, the U.S. Navy has admitted it is canceling ammunition specially developed for the ship’s high-tech gun systems because the rounds are too expensive. The guns, tailor made for the destroyer, will be unable to fire until the Navy chooses a cheaper replacement round. The Zumwalt-class destroyers were conceived in the late 1990s as the first of a new generation of stealthy warships.
“. . . The Navy blames the rise in cost on the fact that the Zumwalt class went from a planned 32 ships to just 3, drastically cutting the number of LRLAP rounds it was going to purchase.
“A May report by US Naval Institute News estimated each LRLAP round to cost between $400,000 to $700,000.
. . .
“According to USNI News, the U.S. Navy wouldn’t talk about LRLAP costs as late as last May. The Navy has known it wasn’t getting 32 Zumwalt-class destroyers since 2008—the better part of a decade. Why it has taken this long to announce it would not be buying ammunition for a $22.5 billion dollar weapon system—which was specifically developed to use that ammunition—is a mystery.”

So long as Barack has enough for a few more state dinners, and Kerry has a good time in the Antarctic.
Should’ve named the ship the Obamacare.
Isn’t this the guy who honestly thinks the the country is “better off” now then it was 8 of the longest years in human history and about $10 trillion ago and just before an “election” told invaders it was perfectly OK to vote?
Yup, that’s the guy!
It’s basically the whole method of the president and his ilk. You keep pushing the crazy and eventually they fold; then it’s on to the next crazy. Termites never give up either.
You can almost see the wheels turning inside Obarmy’s bullet head, as he asks himself, “What line of b.s.can I give them that they’ll believe at this point?”
