US President Barack Obama dismissed on Thursday the idea that he's partially responsible for the rise of GOP Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
"I've actually heard this argument a number of times," Obama said after being asked about Trump and the polarization of American politics under his administration.
"I have been blamed by Republicans for a lot of things, but being blamed for their primaries and who they're selecting for their party is novel," Obama continued, speaking at a press conference alongside Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
He added that one of his biggest regrets as president is the increased level of polarization and the "nasty tone" of American politics.
But then Obama proceeded to place blame for the rise of Trump on conservative talk-radio shows, news outlets, and television.

Carter brought us Reagan

Another day, another lie from Obama, pretending he’s just a victim; doesn’t know what’s going on.
I’m sure he’ll be “surprised” to learn what happens with Iran down the road when he finds out on the news.
It will be ............ (wait for it) ..... (wait for it) ....
Unexpected.
Boner and McConnell created Trump
I do not believe Obama brought us Trump.
The feckless, self-dealing, lying GOPe brought us Trump.
And not a moment too soon, I might add.
And don’t forget talk radio set the table. With 7 years of kvetching. Great job everybody.
Another puff question asked by a fifth-column leftist media skank.
fairy boy and the establishment have given us Trump and now they fight him, sigh
Obama is a sick, evil creature.
it goes without saying it is the whole of DC that is responsible, particularly the WH and Congressional leaders.
obama takes no responsibility for anything unless it’s universally proclaimed as positive.
It was an Internet film, just ask Hillary and Condi.
