Trump: Obama’s Ignorance Is Why He’s ‘The Worst President in U.S. History’
Breitbart.com ^ | 17 May 2016 | Alex Swoyer

Posted on 05/18/2016 6:04:21 AM PDT by Rockitz

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump responded to President Obama’s jab during a commencement speech last weekend at Rutgers University.

Taking to Twitter, Trump posted:

"In politics, and in life, ignorance is not a virtue." This is a primary reason that President Obama is the worst president in U.S. history!

Without calling Trump out by name, Obama focused on the Republican nominee throughout the graduation speech.

“In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue,” Obama told the graduates. “It’s not cool to not know what you’re talking about. That’s not keeping it real or telling it like it is. That’s not challenging political correctness. That’s just not knowing what you’re talking about. And yet we’ve become confused about this.”

“I guess it’s part of human nature — especially in times of change and uncertainty — to want to look backwards and long for some imaginary past when everything worked, and the economy hummed, and all politicians were wise, and every child was well-mannered, and America pretty much did whatever it wanted around the world,” Obama also stated. “Guess what? It ain’t so. The good old days weren’t all that good.”

The Won is not ignorant.

If he were ignorant, he’d “get it right” occasionally, just by accident.

He never “gets it right”.

Therefore, it’s intentional, because he’s malignantly evil to the very marrow of his bones.

The issue is not whether the good old days were that good, the issue is that the good old days were much better than they are today.

True, but its impossible to get the vast majority of Americans to accept that fact.

Donald has it right.

For the Clinton's in 1990s the Mantra that won them the white house was “its the economy, stupid “ and the (false) slogan was “ worst economy since the great depression”

This simple message, repeated over and over became reality in the minds of the Voters

Trump's Obama meme for Obama is “worst President in American History”.

The fact Trump's statement that Obama is the worst President in history is factually true puts truth on his side.

Now all he has to do is keep repeating it until The majority of Americans see the light.

Ivy league nonsense and propaganda, coming from an unaccomplished, affirmative action hire. Obama sees the United States through a small, hateful window of communist ideology.

The left is filled with embittered, vengeful, ignorant bigots who imagine themselves wise. Obama being the prime example.

How could the electorate not have seen what an effing imbecile this idiot is?

I was astounded that people fell for that “worst economy in fifty years” lie when it was clearly far worse a mere 12 years earlier during the dying days of the Carter administration.

Wrong. Obama’s enemy agent status is why he’s the worst president in USA history. Everything he does weakens America and strengthens Islamic terrorist dictators and murder gangs. A totally consistent pattern of behavior pursued assiduously and audaciously over seven years and counting. Not accidental not just a few ignorant mistakes but a conscious, planned course of action.

Yes, but I’ve noticed Trump never uses language that can be placed into a partisan framework. He’ll always keep it generic. For example, he won’t call someone evil, leftist, or marxist. Instead, he calls them stupid, incompetent, or dishonest.
I have to think it’s a deliberate strategy on his part. If so, it seems to be working well for him.

No! Obama's mental defects (from his drug usage) and his lifetime Commie brainwashing are the reasons he is the worst President in America. Obama should be removed from office on his mental incompetence alone.

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, Obama knows stuff, but all the stuff he knows is just wrong.

Donald is being "diplomatic"; it isn't ignorance:

EVERYTHING Obomination has done is ALL INTENTIONAL! (And he/we all know it) It is all a part of his sick, perverted, stated goal and promise to fulfill the "fundamental transformation of America".

Trump is wrong, at least partially. Not about O being the worst ever, but about the primary cause.

It’s Obama’s Islamo-Marxist allegiances that are the primary cause, not his ignorance.
