Don­ald Trump is fi­nally get­ting to Pres­id­ent Obama.

On Wed­nes­day, the pres­id­ent de­fen­ded Amer­ica’s eco­nom­ic stand­ing in the world. And, ahead of the second GOP primary de­bate Wed­nes­day night—and without ever say­ing his name—he un­veiled a hearty de­fense against the busi­ness mogul and GOP front-run­ner. “In the echo cham­ber that is pres­id­en­tial polit­ics, everything is dark and everything is ter­rible,” he lamen­ted at the Busi­ness Roundtable headquar­ters in Wash­ing­ton. Pres­id­en­tial can­did­ates, “don’t seem to of­fer many solu­tions for the dis­asters that they per­ceive, but they’re quick to tell you who to blame.” He con­tin­ued: “I’m here to say there’s noth­ing par­tic­u­larly pat­ri­ot­ic or Amer­ic­an about talk­ing down Amer­ica, es­pe­cially when we stand as one of the few sources of eco­nom­ic strength in the world.” Obama also had a re­sponse to Trump’s con­tro­ver­sial slo­gan, Make Amer­ica Great Again: “Amer­ica is great right now. Amer­ica is win­ning right now.”

Trump is the only candidate I could see actually arresting Obama.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

NO, Amer­ica is NOT great right now and we are NOT win­ning, Mr. President! This country is a mess and our children and grandchildren will suffer!

From the guy whose best tactic was to “Blame Bush”......

Obama’s legacy is a target rich environment.

I just saw Pres Obama making those remarks on cnn’s newscast. He was low energy, and didn’t even seem like he believed what he was saying.

Big deal. Odumbo has the thinnest skin in the world.

Trump is the only candidate I could see actually arresting Obama.

I don't see any of them doing it. As a matter of fact, I believe the next President will have to go out of his way to avoid arresting Obama. (I think they will.)

I perceive the administration to be so filled with Chicago mafia style cronies, that if you pull the smallest thread from the lowliest employee, it will unravel a tangled web of corruption entwined around the entire pantheon of this administration.

I believe all threads will eventually lead to Obama either overtly or indirectly having giving the nod to various bits of illegality.

Me thinks thou doth protest too much.

Stoned again, it looks.

I wish he'd get under Obama’s skin, and jam right up between systolic and diastolic pressures.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

I have a deep suspicion that this is ultimately all going to come back to Obama and his fake birth certificate. Obama humiliated Trump with it at the White House Correspondence Dinner. Trump knows that as a private citizen, it’s a losing battle. But if he were to be elected President, or even get the Republican nomination . . .

Mission Accomplished.

The mission won’t be accomplished until Barry hangs from the neck for treason!

“He (Obama) was low energy, and didn’t even seem like he believed what he was saying.”

That's because it galls him to sing the praises of America, and talk about America being strong.

[9YearLurker]

That’s it, it’s the old, “Don’t talk down the economy” line that Clinton used to shut up Poppy Bush in 1992. Coordinates perfectly with Carly’s pitch too, and the overall approach of everyone gearing up to gush how wonderful the good old US of A is—and don’t let anyone, most especially Trump, tell you otherwise!”

[SpaceBar]

Amen

[ModelBreaker]

Gadzooks. Trump must be good. It’s hard to get under Obama’s skin.
