CNN anchor Don Lemon says Obama ‘better looking,’ ‘smarter’ and has ‘more accomplished’ wife than Trump
Fox News ^ | May 4, 2019 | Brian Flood

CNN’s Don Lemon launched into a bizarre, anti-Trump diatribe on Sunday night, accusing the president of letting President Barack Obama get under his skin because he is “better looking,” better educated” and has a “more accomplished” wife in a now-viral segment.

“What is it about President Obama that really gets under your skin? Is it because he’s smarter than you? Better educated? Made it on his own? Didn’t need daddy’s help? Wife is more accomplished? Better looking? I don’t know, what is it? What is it about him? That he’s a black man that’s accomplished being president? That he punked you on the whole birth certificate thing? What is it about him? Just wondering,” Lemon said, presenting his comments as if President Trump himself was tuned into the show.

Lemon’s outburst may have been in response to Trump's retweet of a blog post early on Sunday that claimed Obama was possibly “the one running the Russian hoax.”

CNN bills Lemon as an “anchor,” as opposed to an opinion host or pundit. Lemon even moderated a Democratic presidential primary debate last summer, a gig that is historically reserved for straight-news journalists.

Obama’s education better than Trump’s? I think not. Trump has a BS in Econ from Wharton. Obama has a BA in poly-sci from Columbia. Obama doesn’t know jack schiff about economics or business. He proved this over and over again while in office. Obama’s law degree doesn’t mean crap either, since anyone with half a mind can get a law degree. The mathematics in econ would kill Obama, since the only thing he can differentiate is black from white.

Somehow I don’t think $500 is going to be a problem for her

It's not necessarily the money. Illinois requires 30 hours of continuing education every two years. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it's a real PITA and few people would do it if there's no reason to do so.

Also, and maybe even more importantly, lawyers are subject to strict ethical rules that non-lawyers do not have to follow. Having a law license can be a handicap in many settings. Over the course of my career I've been in many business situations where someone wants to do something they would not get in trouble for doing but for which I could lose my law license if I participated. In those situations I have had to simply say that I can not participate. It's perfectly reasonable for folks who don't want to be burdened by the extra ethical obligations imposed by a law license to voluntarily surrender their licenses.

I can't stand the Obamas and am not defending them. I just don't think it's helpful to our cause to attack them based on unsubstantiated Internet rumors. It makes us look like crackpots.

Just goes to show you how SMALL-MINDED and JEALOUS LIBERALS are of President Trump.

Expect a TRUMP LANDSLIDE in NOVEMBER!

K So my original statement stands, and so have you heard the stories about him being disbarred for falsifying his name on his applications for the bar?

Try to find the paperwork (Oh wait.. he SEALED all his records as his very first official act as president - you can see his January 2010 executive orders online)

Its like he doesn’t want us to know about is past. As a computer software engineer I can tell you with 100% certainty his last publicly released birth certificate is a fake. His whole life is a fraud. So his law license was given up for no reason?
(yeas I know - a bit of non-sequitur)

...so have you heard the stories

1. Stories = rumors = unsubstantiated.

2. Obama couldn't "seal" an existing public record.

3. I agree that Obama's life is largely a fraud, but that has nothing to do with whether he was disbarred or threatened with disbarment.

You're going to believe what you want to believe. I've merely tried to educate you. I've now spent enough time on this.

Did you look online for Obama’s very first executive order? He ‘sealed’ all his records.

So your comment #2 is incorrect.

As for there just being ‘stories’ (not facts) it’s because he sealed all his records.

As a lawyer I hope you spend more time than this listening to what people are actually saying

Alright, as a courtesy, I'll make one last attempt to educate you.

As a lawyer, the last thing I do is spend time listening to what people are saying. That's called hearsay and there's a very good reason hearsay evidence is not allowed in court. Why? Because it's unreliable.

I do spend a lot of time reviewing primary source materials, however. The order you're referring to is Executive Order 13489 signed by Obama on January 21, 2009. That order relates to "Presidential Records," which are records created while he is president. Obviously, anything related to his bar status occurred long before he was president and this EO would not be applicable. You can read the text of the EO yourself here. Obama did not and could not seal any public records existing before he assumed the office of president.
