Obama swipes at Trump: 'This is not a reality show'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama warned on Friday that occupying the Oval Office “is not a reality show,” in a swipe at outspoken Republican candidate Donald Trump who is vying to replace him in the White House.

Fighting with Obama is a battle Trump will likely relish as he tries to rally support within his own party. During hard-fought Republican primary campaigns, the billionaire delighted in responding to attacks from rivals and found his support grow when he lashed out at his opponents.

Asked about Trump at a media briefing in the White House, Obama called on the press and public to weigh past statements by the Republican but did not point to any specific issues or remarks.

“This is not entertainment,” Obama said, a reference to Trump’s television background. “This is not a reality show. This is a contest for the presidency of the United States,” he said. [L2N183181]

Some top Republican leaders - U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan among them - are still expressing wariness about Trump, who became the party’s presumptive nominee this week when two Republican rivals dropped out of the White House race.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, who made an unsuccessful bid for president, joined a growing list of Republicans who are refusing to support Trump and he announced on Friday he will also skip the Republican convention in July.

This is not a reality show

Of course not.

It's a golf game, a basketball game, a bong on the beach in Hawaii, and a quick sneaky bung-smacker with another man, loosely speaking in every sense, when the hairy hideous wife is out making somebody else's life as miserable as hell.

I place 0bama’s statement beside Ben Rhodes admission the past 7 1/2 years were a fantasy narrative created by the Whitehouse and spread by the MSM.

The Media is SOOOOOOOO dishonest!

So you ask yourself, WTF! My God, what have we done??? Same as it ever was
I link in the great song by the Talking Heads, Once in a Lifetime.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1DNHbNU

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
..
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself
Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by
...

...

...
After the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

Same as it ever was...
...
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may say to yourself yourself
My God!...What have I done?!

this brings to mind the guy in the BK chicken nugget TV commercial where he spews in a comedic effort to show how ridiculous the price sounds. the obozo is so far beneath the leadership capabilities and worldly experience of Donald Trump that he has to look up just to see down.

For a man who willingly lied (likely at the behest of Ben Rhodes)to the nation and the world about Benghazi and kept this story "Despite 10 American sailors being in Iranian custody, President Barack Obama stuck to his State of the Union script Tuesday night and made no mention of the incident, instead touting his nuclear deal with Tehran"......Kerry "thanked" the captors for promptly returning (our men) and treating them so well while they were in captivity. They were not treated well..........Obama has just written another (EO) to keep his Banana Republic rule from being tried for maybe treason after he and others close to him leave office. Obama like most of his life, is a fraud.....disgusting as are the damn fools who voted for him.

Nor is it a job for a left-wing ideologue who never worked at a real job, never built anything of value, and never understood what made America great.
