During a town hall with young people, President Obama explained how he deals with people who criticize him.
I just dont watch TV, Obama joked, after he was asked about his critics during a town hall promoting the White House "My Brother's Keeper" initiative.
Obama advised young people to listen to critics who actually had their interests at heart.
Who gives you constructive criticism because theyre invested in the same things you are but maybe can see the things you cant, versus folks who are just -- whatd someone say -- hatin? Somebody just hatin, just haters? Obama said.
Obama said that people should only focus on constructive criticism.
One thing you should learn is, if somebody is being constructive in their criticism, usually they are not criticizing you, theyre criticizing your actions and what you do and are giving you something specific, Obama said....

He should be the expert on haters.
Those who criticize Obama live rent-free in his head.
LOL. That reference went over the heads of anyone younger than 60.
What is interesting about this article is that he never mentions creating something useful to everyone or freeing people from restrictions.
I do not subscribe to television and consider it a waste of time.
The criticism largely is constructive. You just don't like it, ergo, it is racist.
Obama's idea of constructive criticism is someone telling him he isn't left wing enough.
I like to joke that "Eve of Destruction" is my favorite Dylan song. (I know, it's not; that's the joke.)
Obama is the hater-in-chief.
Well then, nothing personal but just constructive criticism that has so far been ignored:
— where’s the real birth certificate?
— where are the real college transcripts?
— what’s the real relationship with Russia?
— what’s the real relationship with Saudi Arabia?
— why so many communists and Marxists in the administration?
— where’s the actual proof of climate change?
— where’s the real support for Israel?
— do you actually respect or believe in the constitution?
etc etc
These are all constructive criticism, because they help to build a stronger foundation for the freedom of the citizens. But I suppose Obama has no particular concern for that, after all, haters gonna hate (being oppressed).
kinda like Hitler?
I'm flummoxed.
I figured Obama to be far too narcissistic to be the least bit self-disparaging.
He sounds like Justin Bieber.
CRITICISM OF EXECUTIVE POLICIES IS NOT HATRED!!! This is a representative republic, you undocumented fraudulently elected impostor!!! Even Hillary!, the world’s smartest woman, proclaimed (actually SCREECHED) that dissent was the highest form of patriotism! /rant off;)
