Obama Criticizes Tone of 2016 Presidential Debate
Newsmax ^ | 07/27/15

Posted on 07/27/2015 10:17:02 AM PDT by Enlightened1

President Barack Obama delivered withering criticism of the 2016 presidential debate Monday, saying its tone was not worthy of voters.

Obama zeroed in on comments by Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee to decry attention-grabbing "outrageous attacks that have become all too commonplace" in American politics.

Obama described Huckabee's suggestion that a historic nuclear deal between Iran and world powers earlier this month was marching Israelis to the "door of the oven," as part of a "general pattern" that would be "considered ridiculous if it weren't so sad".

Obama also took issue with Trump's "outrageous" comments about the war record of Republican Senator John McCain, who was a Vietnamese prisoner of war.

"These are leaders of the Republican party," he said.

"It's not the kind of leadership that is needed for America right now and I don't think that's what anybody, Democrat, Republican or independent is looking for.

"We are creating a culture that is not conducive to good policy or good politics, the American people deserve better," Obama said.

I would agree with him if he was talking about his own administration...

Did he have anything to say about O’Malley’s “all lives matter” fiasco? That’s blatant racism, but I guess it’s OK, it’s part of the Dem process of give and take (we give, they take)?

"We support King Obama and every illegal alien
against the Bible- and gun-toting American voters.
Yes, we promised we would stop ObamaCARE, ObamaTRADE.
Yes, we promised we would stop the actions of
our beloved King Obama. So what.
We also support the IRS attacks on American scum."

Doesn't anyone know or understand English ?

There is no 2016 Presidential Debate

Ther ARE some 2016 REPUBLICAN Presidential candidates being quite vocal about more than a couple of issues .... but

never mind ....

This must be the harbinger of Bill Gates' common core sight readers.

"It's not the kind of leadership that is needed for America right now and I don't think that's what anybody, Democrat, Republican or independent is looking for.

I don’t know about that. A presidential candidate that will speak the unvarnished truth to this administration of American hating tyrants is exactly what I am looking for.

And when the praetorian guard media start with their epithets of racism that candidate needs to call them on their lie that only a racist would criticize this president.

Well maybe we should bring a gun, Hussein, to the gunfight. Maybe we should make sure that wreak vengeance, per ValJar. It’s of no use to say “We won”, of course, because with the bunch we have in Congress, we didn’t.

Sorry, nobody (and I mean NOBODY) pays attention to Obama, tones or otherwise.

Hence his increasing need for stealth EOs.
