Its hard to believe because the facts simply do not support his contention.

Its hard to believe because the POS has consistently lied to us for the past seven years.

I thought we were all in accord here that the left lies and knows they are lying because lying is the only way they can move their agenda forward.

Sorry, not buying it.

THEIR money?...Yes, it is. Coulda, shoulda, wantedto does not over rule International law. I myself would have confiscated every GD cent and repaid the hostages, paid the Iraquis off and built a Navy in the Straits of Hormuz. However, I was not allowed to do so.

Very smart move on Trump’s part...he probably got another million democrat crossover votes from that comment. Trump is a master at handling the media.

I believe most politicians on the left and the right to be power hungry people who will say or do anything to get the power they crave.

But I also believe that most people truly want to help fix the problems that everyone on the left and right both agree exist.

We just disagree about what actions should be taken or if anything can be done to fix the issue.

I never question the liberals intentions. My parents were liberals, so I guess that makes me more sympathetic to their “intentions”.

Like Reagan I simply think “It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so”

The facilitation and financing of global terrorism, which adversely affects the United States, and costs us billions, trumps “international law”. Let Iran go whine to the U.N.

Trump has been a Godsend because he tells the unvarnished truth. Something thats been almost completely missing from the political scene in this country.

His popularity will immediately ebb when he starts hedging in order to avoid criticism.

So sad, though, that there are so many millions of people who can look at an illegal-alien, baby-murdering Muslim terrorist, and see a man who “means well.” And would be turned off if Trump badmouthed him.

Trump can afford to let Obama off easy, since Obama, theoretically, will be leaving office soon.

Absolutely agree with you. How Americans could elect Obama 2nd time is beyond me. First time was easy, Obama lied about Obamacare and AL-Qaeda and BUSH’s Iraq war fatigue was higher than mount Everest.

This comment is not gonna be well received here on FR.

1. Trump fans can explain away anything he does.

2. They'll attack the messenger.

Trump speculated that there’s “something seriously wrong with President Obama’s mental health”


And BO’s mental instability could very well explain “sincere” tears.

So, the thought of children being killed by a madman is not a fact? Sorry, but I don’t doubt anyone thinking about such an event could not have an emotional reaction.

Do not think for one minute that I think Obama is correct in any of his assertions on most things, Obama is beyond help, his logic and judgement are dictated by beliefs that are completely out of touch with reality. That doesn’t mean that the man is not human or devoid of humanity.

Clinton (both of them) are pathological liars, and Obama will say anything for political gain as well... as like it or not, will many politicians on both sides of the aisle. However, I don’t doubt that Obama genuinely believes demonstrably false things, he honestly believed supporting the Arab Spring would bring peace and democracy to the middle east... it was NAIVE and STUPID, but I have no doubt he truly believed that.

However, what is the political gain to cry? I don’t see it, crying isn’t going to weaking the anti gun control resolve, and its not going to make you look strong. I have little doubt emotionally he broke down... this is a man who thinks gun control will honestly stop violence, and he has been unable to do anything about it as he sees it... THe man is a wimp, a flat out wimp, so the fact he couldn’t control his emotions when dealing with something that to him is emotionally charged? I can believe they are honest tears, 100%... Obama is not a man, hes a boy.

My point simply was I do not believe Obama believes his decree will save lives. The facts - any relevant facts you care to name - do not support it, and he is not a stupid man.

So, no, I do not believe for a moment his tears were real, they were political theater.

We’ll just disagree... Obama is many things, but he is not mature nor suave enough for such on demand emotion... he’s a boy in a mans body, I have no doubt he lost control emotionally. I don’t doubt his tears were honest... though I disagree completely with his actions... he’s an idiot.. but millions of bigger idiots voted for him twice, and hundreds of other idiots won’t do their jobs and let him get away with this nonsense.... So, what can you do?

Obama isn’t able to cry on demand, its not in his personality.... this was him not being able to control his emotion, which is far more damning in my eyes than any political theater.

Okay, Donald, that’s two.

One was bringing up Cruz’ birth thing as an issue only a few weeks after saying it was a non-issue and just as Cruz seems to be getting some primary support.

Two is this Obama hugging comment. He jumped on Christie for Obama hugging and this is verbal Obama hugging. He has to be one of seven people in the world who believe Obama’s tears were sincere. I’ve watched them twice and I have never seen anything so phony.

Just don’t go for # Three, Trump. We have loved you once.

That’s been tried ... trying to get Dem support. What we need is to try to get conservative support and get them all to vote.
