With Trump in attendance, Obama used the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner to mock the reality TV star's presidential ambitions.

It’s all about skin: thin, not color.
Oh puleeez! hussein IS the joke—of the world at present.
I couldn’t even bring myself to watch reruns of the event this morning. I hope Trump thumps Barry good. Is Trump the only man we have left in this country?
I couldn’t agree more. I wish Obama was a failed comedian instead of a failed president.
These two deserve each other.
We deserve better.
These two deserve each other.
We deserve better.
lol!
If you are not aware tomorrow Gary Kreep is before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
If this statement by Kreep is true, Obama is a NATURALIZED citizen at best...
“He said he traveled to Pakistan in the 1980s, but on what kind of passport? He said he didn’t have a U.S. passport until he was senator in 2004, Kreep said.
Hillary already has...Trump is running interference for her.
Did he not possess enough understanding of the qualities of both leadership and human nature to understand that by having Trump in the audience, the greatest putdown he could have achieved with such a man would have been to fail to mention him at all?
By his petty digs, he exposed his greatest vulnerability--naivete that is beyond belief in not understanding the nature of opponents. In this case, Trump. Further, he reinforced the already-prevalent public opinion that he is thin-skinned and hypersensitive, neither of which is a quality of a great leader.
If he underestimates such an opponent in America, how can he be trusted to make wise judgments in analyzing and dealing with foreign leaders?
He provided the weapon. Conservatives should attack him on that, attacking his inability to handle criticism and challenge, and lack of understanding of human nature.
Can anyone imagine Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, or even Reagan handling such a situation as he did? The most Reagan might have done would have been to make one wry comment, and move on to self-deprecating humor (which is the usual pattern for the event anyway).
Herman Cain or Allen West are the only folks who appear to have what it takes to make the kind of bold and unrelenting personal attack which is needed to expose him, while, at the same time, being able to rebut the certain attacks most others would face of "racism." And, both of these gentlemen understand leadership and accountability, accompanied by a deep respect for and love of the principles of the Constitution they would be pledging to uphold.
isnt this like the time obama mocked paul ryan. Invited him over so he could go mock him unchallenged around friendly audience
Or Chief Justive Roberts and the Supreme Court member during the SOTU speech last year.
This guy is out of touch with reality. Today’s American Idol is tomorrow’s dishwasher...
Here I thought the tradition was to roast the president (as Imus to W).
Is it the press doesn’t want to pick on a cripple? i think not.
They just have to protect a weak member of their own clique.
I agree.
I have a feeling this is all going to break this summer, people need to be prepared. Its going to get ugly. Ive been stocking up for 2 years, for what is about to come.
Now that you mention frat-boy, I wonder if Barry ever belonged to a fraternity at any of the 3 institutions of higher learning he attended. Does anybody know? Might be some records there that are not already sealed to the public.
This is the first time I’ve seen the annotation at the bottom, Birthplace: Kenya
Is there any other independent confirmation?
Check the local bathhouse.
I think Obama had it right the first time: Trump is a carnival barker. People know that in the end he's not a serious candidate; he's just stirring the pot and engaging in his usual self-promotion. That's why a President of the United States -- any President of the United States -- should ignore him. To even tell jokes about Trump demeans the office of the presidency and amounts to the very ugly and very scary sight of a powerful government official attacking what amounts to a private citizen. Yeah, Trump asked for it, and Trump certainly qualifies as a "public figure," but that doesn't mean that a President should be seen getting down in the mud with him. I don't care what the press tries to do with these "highlights." The more these events and their meaning sink in, the worse for Obama. |
What do you mean?
Three Wars, Massive Unemployment, a Terrible Economy, and a Leader who is living like a King. What’s not funny about that?
