It should prove he’s not a racist like the left (including GOPe) is pushing.

ah, even Kid Rock had hopes for Obama. Some republicans that were stupid enough to think Dinkins would bring the city together thought the same of Obama.

Black leaders that can bring people together don’t get elected!!

wake up!! (not you oldeconomy)

now i’m going back to sleep :)

So this is the “smart” man, who couldn’t see throw Obama, who is going to negotiate REALLY REALLY REALLY good trade deals with China.

The man apparently had no conservative ideological core in 2008 when he was just the tender impressionable age of sixty one.

Ted cheered for the man who single-handedly gave us Obamacare.

Yes, he was dangerous.

The whole country cheered for Obama initially. We at Free Republic were very much in the minority opinion back then.

It was well known to anyone that Obama was only about change. Trump obviously has poor judgement (since we know he wasn’t among the majority supporting Obama for all the free stuff).

"I thought he was a positive person, always," Trump said of candidate Obama. "I thought he'd be like a cheerleader for the country".

Worrisome. Trump usually seems like he is a good judge of character. What did Trump think Obama meant when he said he wanted to fundamentally change America.

Reminds me that Dick Morris thinks that Bill Clinton "changed" into the character that he is.

No, Trump voted for McCain and hand fundraisers for McCain. I too after Obama got elected thought maybe, just maybe there was a chance Obama was right and he would be the guy to bring people together unlike Bush. Quickly we found that out to be be false and Obama was the biggest scammer in the history of our country. That is also what Trump was saying.

"Did Mr. Trump vote for Obama in 2008?"

Yes, but it didn't mean anything it was just busniness. What a nothing burger, just another GOPe operative trying to disparage Trump with facts!

Who knows? Trump is always rewriting his history, and the suckers on FR buy it.

IIRC: No; he voted McCain... for all the difference it made.

Kudos to Sean Hannity back in the 2008 election. He rang the bell loud and long about OBammy’s shady connections and past— Rev Wright, Bill Ayers, Frank Marshall, etc..
Sean wasn’t the only one but he was like a daily bulldog on the topic. He’s been great this election cycle too.

Any person who ever had the idea that Obama would be a good President should never be our President. Seriously, how can any Trump supporter that is truly a conservative overlook this glaring red flashing light?

Anyone who was stupid enough to cheer for Obama in 2008 has no business calling himself a conservative in 2016.

But then people change. Yeah. /s

He got suckered by Hope N Change and a nice crease in the slacks? What it “this is the day the earth began to heal” speech that hooked him? Or maybe the faux Roman coliseum setup in Denver? Perhaps it was the leather bomber jacket for the “Office of the President Elect” that fooled Trump?

What a lousy judge of character. It would seem he didn’t spend 10 minutes looking into the man’s background and hatred of America.

Not very perceptive, is he?

Never mind how he variously supports libs and weirdoes and various dingbats (just watch Celebrity Apprentice). Apparently even as a very successful businessman he still has failings in wisdom.
