President Obama: I would’ve loved to run against Trump — ‘that would’ve been fun’
Washington Post ^ | 11/17/2015 | By Juliet Eilperin

In the homestretch of his presidency, President Obama says his administration is still looking at "a few more" executive actions on guns -- and that he would have liked to run against a vocal Second Amendment supporter: Donald Trump.

~snip~

Someone who knows how to grab sustained attention: GOP front-runner Donald Trump. "I would've enjoyed campaigning against Trump," Obama told Simmons. "That would've been fun."

Among other revelations in the interview, Obama also compares himself to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers ("you've got to be looking downfield"), dishes on his favorite golf reality show ("Big Break") and muses over which sports commissioner he'd like to be ("Well, I’m best suited for basketball. But I cannot believe that the commissioner of football gets paid $44 million a year.")

The Obama Cat is out of the Bag. Trump would screw him royally, the only way he’d turn Obama down for a debate would be Face Down.

I didn’t know Obama was into Sado-masochism.

Obama would probably get his skinny ass kicked running against Trump who wouldn’t be PC and wouldn’t be afraid to jab at Obama’s great excess of faults and shortcomings. Obama just lucked out running against two weak and PC Rinos.

What a mouth on this _resident.


After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.


Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

I’d love to watch Barack and his “biggest fan” debate.

On the other hand, I’ve got a window to go open someplace.

Trump and Cruz are going to beat the crap out of him for the next few months. Zero’s going to get pissed and then slaughtered.

No fool it would not have been much fun for you. Trump would have had a ball giving you the Rosie ODonnell ghetto beatdown day after day. :-)

Bam-bam is sinking into irrelevance like a rock in a pool of crap. Trump will be running against him, to be sure. Bet on that.

Trump isn’t Mittens. Times have changed. Hope and Change will not cut it. Even the MSM has changed and will not be your attack dogs like before.

The one thing I keep dreaming of . ..seeing Trump walk out onto the baseball field of the Big Game and toss out the First Pitch, and throw like the great baseball player he is ...not like a sissy little girl in mom jeans.

Can. Not. Wait.
