Obama mocks Trump's presidential ambitions
Associated Press ^ | April 30, 2011

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is mixing mixed comedy with some early campaigning at the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner, focusing mainly on Donald Trump.

With Trump in attendance, Obama said the billionaire businessman has shown the acumen of a future president, from firing Gary Busey on a recent episode of "Celebrity Apprentice" to focusing so much time on conspiracy theories about Obama's birthplace.

I say bull to that. Go along to get along??? Time for someone to get mad and get even. I am so sick of the back slapping, reach across the aisle BS. This country is in a world of hurt and it’s time for someone to get pissed and show it.

I don’t know—I saw Donald looking at the Village Idiot’s feet...sizing them up for concrete shoes maybe?

Obama is a dope.

If he thinks he can win a “You’re fired!” contest with Donald Trump, he’s still smoking something.

I think that’s quite likely. It’s funny, one person will say something and then it’s retweeted and on and on. Or just repeated. It’s like a weird kind of echo chamber. But there seems to be a weight to it, so that in the end people don’t seem to understand where an idea or thought came from, they just know they heard it a lot, so a lot of people must think it.

With apologies to the FReeper I stole this from:

See: Gerba-List.

Our media is not independent. Our so-called media is an organization, dedicated to electing and advancing liberals.

Hey Zero, you want to get a big laugh? Show them the video of you throwing out the first pitch like a fourth grade girl. That will definitely get them laughing! Now, say something funny Barry!!

What an unfunny and lame correspondents’ dinner. Obama acted like a kid, flaunting a birth certificate over and over like he won the lottery. It’s only an issue because he wouldn’t release it for 3 years.

Michelle looked high, and 0 looked... hopeless, like he’s thrown in the towel. Obviously he enjoys slamming people sitting in front of him who can’t respond, whether it’s Trump, Paul Ryan, or the the Supreme Court.

Well, when I googled that I got all sorts of *interesting* things, but none of them made any sense... Not that I think we have an independent media, but I’m not sure I understand your post. I may be dumb, however.

Sorry.

Officially it was “JournoList”.

A distribution list of liberal journalists, with which they coordinated strategy to advance their message.

The Gerbil part was what I stole from our FReeper. :)

“Journolist” was embarrassing enough for the media left, it was immediately dismantled, many believe replaced immediately with a more effectively hidden replacement.

You can no doubt find more about Journo-List.

"You have to admire a man who can anger O, Barney Frank, Rove and the Pubbie establishment."

If Trump runs as a third-party candidate and gives us four more years of Zero, he's going to annoy me, too.

Just guessing here, but I imagine Trump won’t run as a third party candidate if we stop trying to drive him to do so...

Mr. Thin Skin hardly touched on himself, surprise!surprise! It was almost all Trump by both Obama and Seth Miller Appalling. Miller was bad enough, but he’s not POTUS.

I can’t remember another president doing that at the WH Correspondents (Whores) Dinner, attacking a political opponent who’s a private citizen, much less one who was sitting in the room with his wife. It’s the same thing he did to Paul Ryan. He is such an immature, petty little man. And he’s not at all funny. He should avoid those events, stay home with Michelle planting carrots or whatever.

OH, lol I remember Journolist. I thought there was something else. Yeah, I know, they are just another arm of the Marxist Party we call Democrats.

No, that is not what I meant. I really don’t care for Trump. I am just saying that, for his own sake, he should have laughed instead of making them think that they were getting to him.

I don’t think Trump likes Barry at all. Barry was making fun of Trump. If you didn’t like someone, and they were making fun of you, would sit there and laugh for the camera?

Barry is a joke.
