Donald Trump warns Barack Obama he’ll ‘hit him’ like Bill Clinton

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Donald Trump, lashing back at Barack Obama after the president waded forcefully into the presidential campaign, on Wednesday said Obama “doesn’t have a clue” and threatened to turn his attacks on him in retaliation.

“This is a president who doesn’t have a clue,” Trump told supporters in Sacramento. “If he campaigns, that means I’m allowed to hit him, just like I hit Bill Clinton.”

Trump’s remarks followed an appearance by Obama in Elkhart, Ind., on Wednesday, where the president warned against the Republican Party’s economic policies and said the GOP was misleading Americans on the condition of the economy.

Rallying supporters at a hangar at Sacramento International Jet Center, Trump said foreign leaders view Obama as a “total lightweight,” and he said Obama should not involve himself in the campaign....

I was with the state unemployment office for decades, mostly as a veterans career counselor but sometimes assigned to teach job-seeking skills classes to AFDC (now TANF) and food stamp recipients, so I’m pretty familiar with the demographic. That was during a period of very low unemployment, when office workers could go to lunch break and snag a better job instead of eating.

Saw it on my iPhone yesterday.

I was typing away and the spaces were there but the text was not.

Then it appeared again.

Very odd.

New feature?

Invisible ink?

:)

It could be Obama Care.

Friend of mine said they can’t afford it and they now get fined for not buying it.

Obama care is starting to bite the poor.

None of the “protesters” we see have the courage to do anything but yell obscenities and throw stuff at the police. It is so small of them because they’re such small thinkers and because they lack the intellect and ability to use common sense and logic, they will always be small or even tiny.

"Can’t say for sure, but there’s definitely an element of revulsion there for the status quo, that was not present in 2012."

Wayne, the must ethereally sense what we all do, it just took them longer on their journey. We listened to Trevor Loudon in 08' and Knew his background and mentors, they didn't. But back to the subject at hand. They maybe on every form of assistance imaginable, but in all our hearts as Americans I'd say most of us see the big house, the Ferrari, the "Trump-Force-One" and say to ourselves, how did that guy do that? Nevermind, how can I do that?

It is funny and not funny, the guy who campaigned on Hope and Change has given the 47% No Change, and No Hope. They can't pull themselves up by their bootstraps he has taken away their boots, they didn't build them....

Trump possibly signifies a cultural change that I can do it, not uncle sugar. Maybe he should be emphasizing it on his campaign trail. Maybe the folks you are meeting are sick and tired of being sick and tired and want the job that makes them stand up straight and helps get rid of the sunken shoulders syndrome...

Isn’t it RACIST to criticize Obama? I mean Frank Luntz’s focus groups, you know the ones that tell us that creating 30 million new Democrat voters through Amnesty will give us Republicans a permanent majority, have stated that any criticism of Obama will be deemed as racist, regardless of whether it is warranted.

...which is why the people that actually believe Frank Luntz, EVERY OTHER REPUBLICAN LEADER that is, will not criticize the president.

“Trump’s first order of business will be to undo everything Obama has done to cripple America as in repealing Obamacare and every executive order.”

0bama did exactly this in his first 48 hours after he became president. He reversed as many Bush initiatives as he could. Did the MSM ever report on it? NO!

Yep. Huge deductibles. These people can STILL go bankrupt because the deductibles are so high. Before, they could go to the emergency room, receive treatment, never pay, with impunity. Only a few hospitals would actually attempt to collect.

Threatening to rescind Obamacare in 2012 would have cost votes, now that they've experienced it, I don't think any of them would care, so you're absolutely right.

"Trump’s first order of business will be to undo everything Obama has done to cripple America as in repealing Obamacare and every executive order."

What I'd love to see...

* 1st day, No big parties at all, cut out all that crap, If you want to have a party after what I am about to explain, invite veterans only.
* Sworn in @ 11:00am est per the law and...
* Go straight to the Oval office with CSPAN covering as the only feed that others can also use.
* Proceed with pre-researched executive order undo's...
* When Newt Gingrich purposed this when he ran he said it would be 150 rescission.
* With that said it has to be many more at this time.

It would take hours, good, great theater.

2 other things...

Meet with Bibi Netanyahu in the Oval Office and receive The Bust of Churchill back to the Oval Office.

“Cruz is almost certainly an illegal alien, ineligible to be a Senator, let alone VP.”

Bald face lie #1

“He’s also a liar, and physically and vocally repulsive.”

Balf face lie #2

“I welcome communication from FReepers, especially those with sincere religious, moral, or philosophical concerns.”

Bald face lie #3.

“I am a Catholic priest. I am much nicer than, but not so smart as, Arthur McGowan.”

Most likely untrue as well but as far as you using the word
smart in context with yourself, I find highly questionable.
You don’t seem to be to smart at all.

When you bash a conservative it just tells people you are
nothing more than a lying liberal. And a cheep sellout to boot.

But when it comes to conservatism, then your a typical liberal hack. I’m surprised you’ve been here since 98.
One of Trumps greatest features is exposing liberals
for what they are.

So maybe you should think about that next time you trash
a conservative in the presence of other true conservatives.
You’re true liberal nature will be exposed.

I’ve said it all along: America doesn’t need a great President, it needs a great LEADER.
Cruz would be the better President, but Trump is going to lead the fight in destroying civilizations’ greatest enemy: Political Correctness.

When we kill Political Correctness THEN we can start fighting and win.

Cruz is not a conservative. He is a sock puppet of the Bush Crime Family, which is a subsidiary of the globalist, one-world government and war machine.

Fortunately for the country, he proved to be so repellent, physically, vocally, and personality-wise, that he will never be President.
