Trump on Obama in 2009: "I Think He's Doing A Really Good Job...He's Totally A Champion"
Buzz Feed ^ | 7/13/2015 | Andrew Kaczynski

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...

wow. He gave the president the benefit of the doubt 7 years ago. A lot of people did.

Been a LONG time since Trump had a kind word for him. He’s been attacking the birth place issue for a long time.

Go Trump!!

Puhleeze.

What is feeble is the feeble, shill talk of Trump evollllllviiiiing.

That has proven to be old and worthless, pedantic, political gooberbabble coming from Trumpsters.

When did Trump ever say from 2009 until now that Obama needed to be impeached?

When?

Did he ever say that Bill Clinton needed to be impeached?

The article and Trump’s comments are more about the ascension of a black to the presidency and the possibilities of his personality.

There are no mentions of accomplishment other than that.

Further, this disastrous putz had just taken oath and we should all hope the weight of the office will cause change or at least some pragmatism.

Sadly, Barack, is an idiot idealogue and an idiot savante.

Ateast Brill Krinton was an opportunist and would co-opt republican ideas and initiatives.

“Trump really knows how to avoid an audit. lol”

That’s funny. Trump has said he has to play the game.

Why is this even a story? Trump made these comments 6 yrs ago and has over these yrs seen what a disastor Obama has become, as has everyone except the Obama butt kissers.

Remember, abortion services are a “small part” of what Planned Parenthood does!

Daily Signal, among other news outlets:

Donald Trump defends Planned Parenthood, Calls Abortions “Small part” of What They Do

http://dailysignal.com/2015/08/12/donald-trump-defends-planned-parenthood-calls-abortions-small-part-of-what-they-do

“So we have to look at the positives, also, for Planned Parenthood.”

Let’s not forget attacking Scott Walker using Donald TRUMKA, I mean Trumpka, talking points.

Let’s not forget going birther on Cruz.

Let’s not forget exonerating all Democrats from the Fannie Freddie caused economic crash.

Oh WTF am I saying...let’s forget ALL of it...we’re no longer conservatives...not really.....

“I am not sure what the anti-Tump establishment is saying here.”

Ah yes, the go-to tactic of the Trump brigade. If anyone questions or criticizes Trump, call them “the establishment”.

It’s good to be right on the issues it may be better to be somebody who is not a chickensh*t, who can get stuff done.

But....but...but...that was then and this is now. That’s the standard line Trump gets but other GOP candidates are held by Trump supporters to a higher level.

And other GOP candidates just stick their fingers up to see which way the wind is blowing, but Trump supporters don’t hold Trump to that standard or say that about him.

See how it works?

Trump is evolllllving, dontcha know?

Trump is like a certain mustachioed German politician from the 1920s, who had a good sense of what the public wanted to hear, and played it like a fiddle.

Then supply something better. Instead you call it meaningless blather> So lets go after the jugular vein of anyone whom criticizes Trump the new anointed one. Bring it on meathead! i had a crappy weekend with family members trying to take a mother out of a nursing home to transfer elsewhere because it is costing to much and there will be nothing left to inherit. Maybe I will take it on you!~
