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

Posted on 01/13/2018 4:08:36 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

(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.

You forget to post the picture of some one who despised the United States and just about everything they stand for. Somehow he managed to become the former president......

I have an idea! Let’s pretend Trump said something we don’t like, then attack him for the imaginary thing we say he said!

EXACTLY what happened.

Hey Obo, you are not a leader. Remember you said you lead from behind

You don't find great leaders all doped up on cocaine and kneeling on the floor of Larry Sinclair's limousine.

Larry Sinclair wrote about Obama's homo encounters in his book and Obama never publicly challenged him, the publisher or the book content.

Dorkbama the Muslim quota boy has the intellect of an amoeba.
He couldn’t pass a fifth grade science class.
As such, he did make an ideal democrat, though.

Dear BIG ZERO, DON’T WORRY, soon your legacy will be destroyed, you will be exposed to all as one of the most corrupt presidents of all time, all your close advisers will be in jail, and with luck you will be under indictment.

President Trump was natural born.....Obama wasn't. Natural born is also...born the same kindred. Heterogeneous birth is Unatural born.

What are you trying to say regarding "born of the same kindred"? There's nothing "unnatural" about mixed race offspring, or "heterogeneous birth".

You're skating on thin ice...

(Obama) He never led a single thing.

What about same sex bathrooms? Same sex marriage? Silence on cop killings by BLM? Occupy Wall Street? Fast and Furious? Weaponizing the IRS and Intel agencies in order to rig an election?

That black faggot Obama has done plenty of leading.
