Obama's stern warning for Trump
Clinton News Network ^ | 10:41 AM ET, Sat January 13, 2018 | Julian Zelizer, CNN Political Analyst

(CNN) - During a conversation with David Letterman on his new Netflix program, former President Barack Obama issued a stern warning for the current commander in chief: "One of the things that Michelle figured out, in some ways faster than I did, was part of your ability to lead the country doesn't have to do with legislation, doesn't have to do with regulations, it has to do with shaping attitudes, shaping culture, increasing awareness." Although Obama was extremely hesitant about directly commenting about President Donald Trump, the message he sent was clear.

And it comes in the wake of the upsetting news that during a private meeting with legislators at the White House, President Trump referred to African nations as "shithole countries." The President tweeted out a denial that he ever said this, with two Republican legislators saying that they couldn't remember. Illinois Democrat Richard Durbin, who was in attendance, responded that Trump did use the term and said things that were "hate-filled, vile and racist." And a Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said he appreciated Durbin's statement -- and had challenged Trump's comments.

It would be a mistake to dismiss the comments as a "distraction" because, with Trump, they are the main show. His rhetoric sends a message to the nation and to the world about the values that we treasure and that the nation will stand for in 2018.

So Obama hasn’t been seen lately and here’s the OP implying he reprimanded Trump re fake news Haiti comment. I checked other media and found “Taped late last year before an audience at the main campus of the City College of New York in Manhattan”

Let me give you advise former President Obama.

President Trump is not a communist and does not feel so possessed to manipulate the views of “We The People!

It’s time for you to leave for Indonesia before it’s too late.

Obama coming pretty close to admitting it’s the scam that counts.

You are nothing but an unaccomplished America hating racist thug. Your beard Moochelle the Wookie is in no position to say anything either.

Neither of you has any moral authority to tell us anything.

I love the clip: "Obama will go down as the worst President in history.Well,Mr Trump,at least I'll go down as a President".

He acknowledged that he'll go down as the worst ever.

CNN’s really stretching with this.

I remain convinced President Trump did not use the S word.

Obama may be smarter than I've given him credit for.

I wish he would go after Trump, that would give Trump clearance to blast him out of the water.

Notice GWB also developed the good sense to shut up after he tried to criticize Trump awhile back and Trump blasted him.
