President Obama: I would’ve loved to run against Trump — ‘that would’ve been fun’

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.")

Fun? Yeah, it would have been fun. Fun watching Obama getting his butt kicked in a real race with a real man, instead of the pretenders he ran against.

[NormsRevenge]

Our first mentally ill uhhh... Challenged Pres__ent.

[Duckdog]

Hinting that he may run again. The Constitution hasn’t stopped him on anything yet, why stop now?

[McGruff]

What are the rules for removing a president from office due to delusional behavior?

[Parmy]

As thin a skin the O has, does he think he could maintain composure vs Trump.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Obviously said by someone who likes to have their *** ripped...

[El Cid]

What a dipwad.
Sorry, we are supposed to be respectful to our leaders, but he is basically saying that his greatest achievement, and sense of accomplishment, is gained by campaigning.
That is, not actually doing anything, but convincing people by any means possible. Be it lies, or inciting division and hatred - just win the campaign. Actually doing anything? Pfft, that does not even make the list.

He was a trash talker in high school and he still is. No telling how many times he had his butt handed to him on the courts especially after taking those girly shot.

[econjack]

Yeah, I’d have loved to have seen it, too, as it would mean you wouldn’t be pushing this country on a guideless path to the Left.

[heylady]

Hate to say it but Aaron Rogers just got beaten by the Lions. Not a good choice. He couldn’t pick Brady because Brady supports Trump.

[mkjessup]

It wouldn’t be much fun for Barky after repeated ass kickings from Trump. That little Kenyan faggot would be begging for mercy after the very first debate between Trump and him, i.e. ‘Mano a Chumpo’.

[VerySadAmerican]

Rules don’t matter if there is no opposition party.

[W.]

Who hasn’t heard some pussy say “If he hadn’t left, I was gonna kick his ass!” Guess their kind are good for a laugh...

[econjack]

Respect has to be earned and this dipstick has done nothing to warrant respect from me or, evidently, the Presidents of other countries in the world. It will be interesting to see what he puts in the Presidential Library, since he has revealed nothing from his past. It the library is to be filled with his accomplishments, there will be nothing in it but an echo.

"What are the rules for removing a president from office due to delusional behavior?"

Given we left Bush in charge for calling Islam a religion of peace, I suspect there aren't any such rules.

[Parley Baer]

The man lives in a “Islamic bubble”. No real world experience.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

What an absolute child.

[MrB]

If it weren’t for the PC shield, Obama wouldn’t have stood a chance,

and Trump is immune to it.

[HomerBohn]

Fun for Bathouse ‘Skeeter’ Obama?

Without a teleprompter this mental midget can’t even speak.

[tflabo]

Too bad it didn’t happen in 2012. Would have cleaned Bammy’s clock.
