Obama dismisses Trump phenomenon as a flash in the pan: 'Talk to me if he wins' – but Biden says 'it's possible' Trump could become president

Obama said he is 'pretty confident' that Trump won't win by 'scapegoating,' and the American people will ultimately reject the Republican's message However, he said, 'Anything's possible. And I think we shouldn't be complacent. I think everybody's got to work hard' The president acknowledged that politics is as divided as it has ever been, though he declined to call it a failure: 'It's a regret' Biden talked about the 2016 race and his dis on Hillary Clinton over her 'relatively new' interest in income inequality He joked that he would still get in last minute if he won the lottery: 'Everybody says I can retire, well I'll run' President Barack Obama is 'pretty confident' that Donald Trump won't win his White House bid by 'scapegoating,' and the American people will ultimately reject the Republican's message.

'Talk to me if he wins. Then we'll have a conversation about how responsible I feel about it,' Obama told Matt Lauer after the Today host suggested that the president's leadership had created a hunger for Trump's brand of politics.

Vice President Joe Biden 'it's possible' that Trump could pull off a White House win. But he told Today's Savannah Guthrie in his own, 'This is just the very, very beginning' of the 2016 race. In the NBC interview that aired this morning Obama said the former reality TV show star is preying on peoples' fears.

'The message that Donald Trump's putting out has had adherence a lot of times during the course of our history,' he said.

'But I'm pretty confident that the overwhelming majority of Americans are looking for the kind of politics that does feed our hopes and not our fears, that does work together and doesn't try to divide, that isn't looking for simplistic solutions and scapegoating.'

Without Obama, there would be no Trump. Trump’s rise is predicated on the idea that Obama’s failures make it look like anyone could do better than that.

Hopefully you’ll be behind bars shortly thereafter, Mr. Obola.

Well, how did we expect him to answer?

To be honest, I was not prepared for this office and I freely admit I've done a halfass job. To cover my own incompetence I've had to stoke up racial fears and divisions. I really do not know what the fuck I'm doing most of the time. Good luck to Mr. Trump.

Build the wall, enforce the law, deport them all, end sanctuary cities, end anchor babies, slap a moratorium on Muslim immigration. Cut the government, cut the spending, cut the taxes, cut the regulations, cut the crap, end the corruption, end the treason. Rebuild our military and make it so powerful no one messes with us.

Obama knows that SCOTUS will rule in favor of voting rights for all in America. Thus securing the WH for them for a century.

Well, you see, Mr. Obama, lots of American did have hope 7 years ago. Now they have concerns, and valid fears.

BTW, did anyone ever hear George W. Bush refer so dismissively to the young, first term (not yet even half term served) IL Senator with absolutely no experience, much less accomplishment, under his belt as a “flash in the pan?” Ever?

Trump will cut through the DC bureaucracy with a precision that Obama only dreamed of, starting with Obama’s executive orders.

Not Bush but we can always count on BJ.

http://nypost.com/2012/09/03/bill-clinton-made-insensitive-race-jab-about-obama-in-2008/

The author of the article, Ryan Lizza, said he he heard about the comment from legendary NBC newsman Tim Russert, who died in 2008.

The reported comment was similar to one attributed to Clinton in a 2010 book.

“A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee,” Clinton is quoted as saying in “Game Change,” by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin.

Clinton’s speech to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC, isn’t until Wednesday night — but the former president is getting attention for remarks he has already made.

He has, for example, called Obama “incompetent” and “an amateur” who has no clue about how the world operates, according to an article in Sunday’s Post by Edward Klein, author of “The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House.”

“Obama doesn’t know how to be president,” Clinton told friends and political advisers last year, the article added. “He doesn’t know how the world works.”

Meanwhile our Narcissist-In-Chief is concerned on how he can keep his face before the public when he is out of office.

I don't see Obama leaving the White House gracefully.

In fact, we may have to peel his fingertips off the door posts.

Doesn’t really matter to the Obama if Trump wins. There will be a large enthusiastic crowd present to help him move out of the WH come January 21, 2017. They’ll even be happy to help him get on a plane to his new villa in Dubai.

As if this ignorant fool knows a D@mn thing about winning by any other method than being the right "color."

Listen you ignorant twat. *YOU* didn't win. Your COLOR won. If you had been white, you would be a nothing and a nobody as you so richly deserve to be. You have no skill. No Talent. No Education. No Knowledge. No real capability which is of any use to anyone.

Your sole purpose in existing is as a "Token" to induce Liberal Orgasms. You are simply a masturbatory tool for Liberal Virtue Signaling. (White Liberals are better than other people because they voted for a "black" man.)

You are a F***ing idiot who is so far in over his head that you make Chauncey Gardner look like an Einstein.

I will be glad when I don't have to listen to your stupid flapping mouth with it's endless stream of ignorant crap coming out of it. Someone should have bitch-slapped you years ago.

Feeding our fears = Climate Change

Dividing = Ferguson, etc. #BlackLivesMatter

Scapegoating = White terrorism, evil whites, white police

Give me a break.

That’s an easy thing to say when you have the media and voter fraud on your side.
