Trump to Obama: Being President 'Not About Being a Community Organizer'
Newsmax ^ | February 17,2016 | By Sandy Fitzgerald

Donald Trump is firing back at President Barack Obama, who said on Tuesday that he does not think he will be elected as president, because it's not like "hosting a talk show or a reality show.

"It's not [about] being a community organizer, which is what he was, that was about it," the real estate tycoon told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program. "I built one of the greatest companies, some of the great assets in the world, very little debt and tremendous cash flow. It's the thinking our country needs."

But, Trump said, it's a "badge of honor" for him when such statements like Obama's are made about him.

"That means I'm the one that they're looking at," said Trump, pointing out that he's also criticized by Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

"The last person Hillary wants to run is me and as you see I'm beating her in the polls," said Trump. "I think we'll do just fine. We have a tremendous number of people that want to see America be great again. That's what we're doing."

Obama, Trump continued, is "going to go down as perhaps the worst president in the history the United States, and he certainly wouldn't like to see me [become president]."

Though Obama has been able to successfully community organize as POTUS.

Trump doesn’t care about polling. He tells the truth!

It’s all he knows.

First let me say that I am not a Trump supporter. But, this is a quintessential reason why it is hard not to like Trump.

Contrast Trump’s response to, say, Bob Dole’s towards Clinton, or McCain’s comment genuflecting to Obama 8 days before the election! Or Mitt Romney’s unwillingness to be impolite and remain deferential to Obama in 2012.

This is what the GOPe simply, and astonishingly, seems incapable of grasping. They continue to hold steadfast to the notion that while Democrats are slashing you to death that you must remain genteel and polite to demonstrate some type of “civility”. So in this way the GOPe candidate are enormously successful, they get mortally hacked to death while retaining their personal civility. Trump, on the other hand, ain’t playing by those rules and that is at long last what many, many people who, heretofore have been ignored and increasingly felt helpless to stop the insanity, are dying to see on their behalf.

Looks like Obama got his prostrate massaged the hard way. He’ll be walking a bit odd for awhile. Let’s see if he runs his mouth some more. If he’s really going for UN Secretary-General he needs to STFU. Otherwise his so-called legacy is going to be eviscerated in public

Keep up attacks like this, President Trump, and you’ll win even the most hardened hearts.

You fail to realize what a contemplative and complex person Barack Obama truly is.

He spends hours, reclining on the oval orifice sofa, with his shirt off contemplating his navel and trying to understand its purpose. Occasionally he’ll either pick lint out of the indentation, or may fill it with chip dip.

President D0-Little, a successful community organizer? The creature has difficulty organizing the sock drawer. The pairing of all those red socks is confusing Hard to distinguish the colors and the right from the left.

Obama really walked into a propeller here. Did he really think that he wasn’t due to get bitch-slapped by Trump.

GOPe thinks they can beat the Democrats by fighting by Marquis de Queensbury rules. Hasn’t been that way for decades.

Did obama say this while on the Ellen Degeneres show?....
