Well I think that he's sort of a guy that has just a wonderful personality, a good speaker, somebody that people trust."
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump praised president Obama in 2009 in his book Think Like A Champion and on CNN's Larry King Live.
Trump...wrote of Obama in his book, "What he has done is amazing." ...
Trump also wrote he thought Obama "has the mark of a strong leader" and said Obama's comments on the economy "have led me to believe that he understands how the economy works on a comprehensive level." ...
He has also surrounded himself with very competent people...

So hope and change. .
I guess this is the TDS thread for the night.
After awhile you have to judge an organization on the results it produces. For the gop, it has produced nothing of value. Nice words, no action.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE UN-OFFICIAL “NEVER SPEAK BADLY OF DONALD TRUMP OR RISK BEING CALLED A RINO” POLICY ON FREE REPUBLIC!
FURTHER ATTEMPTS AT VIOLATING THIS POLICY WILL RESULT IN SOCIAL OSTRACIZATION AND/OR QUESTIONING OF YOUR MANHOOD/WOMANHOOD, INTELLIGENCE OR CONSERVATIVE BONA FIDES!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED...!
“he hadn’t revealed himself as a Stalinist yet”
What?!? He revealed that BEFORE the election.
Lol. Oh man. Is that really a good political barometer? He can get things done. What if the stuff he gets done sets our liberty back? He gets things done.
“We’ve been electing people for the past few years who SAY ALL THE RIGHT THINGS then get to Washington and do NOTHING.”
So you propose electing Trump because he is saying all the right things?
“Trump has stated repeatedly he was hopeful in obama but that he turned out to be the worst president in history. We all know that. What a feeble attack line.”
If your read the statements by Trump it is not wishful thinking,
Trump is talking about what a wonderful job he thinks Obama did in his 1st year
Trump is praising Obama’s cabinet that was already appointed of:
Hillary Clinton
Eric Holder
Joe Biden
Trump was praising the Stimulus / Bank economic plan with the Big Bank bail outs
Trump is not a Democrat
Trump is not a Republican
Trump is not a Liberal
Trump is not a Conservative
Trump is for what ever benefits Trump, is that simple.
He wants to be President:
1. he knows the wave is against an 8 term Democrat
2. He knows what to say to fire up the opposition, so he says it.
It’s very simple to see:
When asked about his contributions to Democrats he stated it. He did it for personal / business reasons.
He could care less about us living under their policies as long as he got his favors when needed.
We can vote for a GOPe candidate and be lied to again. Nothing will change and the Democrat will almost certainly be in the WH the next 8 years...OR we can support Trump and end the shite we have had to endure under the GOPe who never do anything they promise to get our support.
I don’t give a flying leap what Trump said 10 years ago, but I do care what he is saying today and has been saying for at least 7 years, some of it over 10 years.
Your TDS posts are not going to change my mind either.
We’ve been electing people for the past few years who SAY ALL THE RIGHT THINGS then get to Washington and do NOTHING.
How many times have YOU heard Republicans talk about protecting the border? Or about STOPPING illegals?
Or about backing our military and protecting our wounded vets?
You’ve heard it for years... and NOTHING happens.
We’ve been waiting FOREVER. The political consultant class puts up ‘shoe salesmen’ to run - then puts the right buzz phrases in their mouths and YOU ChesseFood vote for them. That’s fine... stay with the people who know the ‘right things to say’ (yes there is a conservative PC) to fool people - to con them out of their vote. Dems do it worse - but we do it too.
I’m tired of that...
If Trump builds the wall... makes 5 ‘deals’ with other countries that don’t rape our workers, builds up our military and protects our vets - it’ll be enough.
I can assure you that the modest list above will be more than all the rest of the Republicans have done the past twenty years... If you prefer we can send one page of the bullsh*t buzz phrases Republican say but ‘forget’ when they get to Washington...
Bang on!!
Oh, come on, you're being unreasonable. Whatever happened three weeks ago is ancient history (as I was told). /S
Trump did more than that, actually, Surely you remember?
Why, his investigators in Hawaii were finding out all kinds of amazing information. We were going to be shocked, and he was going to release it at any moment, yes, very soon...and...and....
Nothing.
Because he knew a certain segment of the audience would lap it up. Now that I think of it, I wonder if it wasn't a trial run for this campaign, to find out just how gullible people are and whether they'd go for his "conservative" BS.
And y'all are lapping it up all over again.
This kind of stuff is why Trump worries me so much. He only “recently” became a conservative....how much of what he is saying does he actually mean, and how much of it is just to get him elected?
My favorite so far has been "GOPe Dreamers." Fairly original, yet still laughable.
What Trump knows how to do best is change with the wind.
Because they were abject morons who refused to inform themselves.
Shouldn't Trump The Great and Powerful have possessed a mininum of sagelike wisdom that would have allowed him to read and listen, and understand what Obama was/is? We all did.
I guess that just makes him another moron. Or a Democrat.
Same thing, really.
I can say that many of the policies he supported were terrible.
Do you want to tell me that Dick Cheney is a Rino?
And don't forget the other day, when he said "I go out of my way to say Merry Christmas."
He just randomly threw that out there. In August, LOL.
LOL, OMG
Well, it's good to know that vetting all candidates is now a liberal trick.
Convenient!
