“Donald Trump is here tonight,” said Obama. “Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald. And that’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like, ‘Did we fake the moon landing?’ ‘What really happened on Roswell?’ And ‘Where are Biggie and Tupac?'”
That’s really smart – pissing off a billionaire with a popular television show.
Obama has the Midas touch when it comes to himself.
One thing you shouldn’t do, and apparently Obama didn’t catch this yet, is give reason for Donald Trump to find your faults. Trump will defend his own reputation. The President doesn’t know what he’s doing. He could pull these kind of things, i.e., everything he is doing, in Chicago. But he’s not in Chicago anymore. After what Trump may have in store for him he may be thankful to give his farewell address in January 2013 and finally get out of there. He can then go back to a simpler life of intimidating bank presidents into giving house loans to those will not be able to pay them back.
Trump remains a great source of amusement for many from his multiple bankruptcies to his outsize ego the guy is a walking joke. Why doesn’t he show his long form birth certificate along with his grades in school? What is Trump hiding? I have heard that he wasn’t even born in this country.
You’re slipping. You forgot to say he’s a racist.
;O)
Considering the huge praise Trump has given Obama previously, I don’t think he is a racist. Just an egomaniac with a meagre grasp on reality.
Is Obama a large ego?
Funny that a guy with a meager grasp on reality got the Messianic figure to cough up the birth certificate. If Obama is the Messiah Trump must be God.
Oh ya, and where’s the grades?
Syria still killing civilians. Obama still doing nothing. Why is he in Libya again?
BHO was in on the creation of the CCX. What happened to that beside the crooks on the inside walking away with 100’s of millions in cash?
Has Obama forgotten to mention climate deniers?
I think I remember Bush getting heavily criticized about a slow response for Katrina. And Obama is doing what about Alabama?

Ahhhh, now I see his response:

For natural disasters such as this the federal government declares a disaster and provides resources for recovery. This has already been done

Obama still hasn’t visited Alabama. He’s busy yukking it up over the guy that he lost to. It is clear that America trusts Trump more than Obama. Who’s the joke on?
The constant criticism Bush got is that he delayed going to Louisiana to see the damage firsthand. And when he went he only flew over it in a plane. But Obama still hasn’t gone to Alabama. The media has not said a thing. On the contrary, they’re just talking about the jokes he told, that they were funny. So as you can see there is a double standard. Quite a contrast, isn’t it Daniel.
I thought the title of Bernard Goldberg’s book about Obama and the media was funny:
A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media
Here is an article, released on Christmas Day no less, about the dreamy Barrack Obama:
“The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals……”

What bizarre comments. People didn’t care if Bush toured the Katrina disaster area. They cared that his redirection of FEMA towards international terrorism resulted in complete incompetence in actually dealing with this disaster. It took days to just get people out of the superdome. And after the stunning incompetence he adds insult by praising his point man “Brownie” for a heckuva job.
And Obama did tour the Alabama disaster area. Why are you making things up?
It is certain that any response to Alabama was expeditious only because the US government learned lessons from Katrina. It has absolutely nothing to do with Barrack Obama. You people on the political left love to blame Bush but you will not give him credit when it is due him.
And I see you are quick to respond to certain comments. Most other are nonreplied.
You never once had heard about Bush being criticized because he only flew over the area hit by Katrina and didn’t actually rush to be there? You were out of the country for a year at that time?
You can start your catch-up study about that here:

I am certain he did it to avoid Bush-Katrina-like criticism.
Obama is on the campaign trail. It was a great photo op.

Man Daniel, talk about making things up. Go ahead and tell all your friends that. In fact, try to get on tv and say it.
From Arianna Huffington:
“The Flyover Presidency of George W. Bush”
The president’s 35-minute Air Force One flyover of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama was the perfect metaphor for his entire presidency: detached, disconnected, and disengaged. Preferring to take in America’s suffering — whether caused by the war in Iraq or Hurricane Katrina — from a distance. In this case, 2,500 feet………

It’s only taken a few days to see the cut of your jib Daniel.
I didn’t make anything up. I didn’t watch any news on Friday (it was a long work day) and very little of it on Saturday. The only news I paid any real attention to yesterday was the NFL draft. Today the only news on Obama was about last night and the jokes about Trump. There was no mention of his tour of Alabama. Obama’s jokes about Trump took complete precedence over his visit to Alabama. Showing once again the bias in the media.
BHO is the guy that couldn’t produce a birth cert for 3 years running. It’s a little late to ‘jump bad” about it now.
I don’t think he’s bright enough to understand that Joe. The joke’s on him.
