OBAMA: I Hope The GOP Picks Someone More 'Constructive' than Donald Trump
businessinsider.com ^ | January 25

Posted on 01/25/2016 6:56:26 AM PST by Helicondelta

In an interview published Monday morning, President Barack Obama said he hopes that the Republican Party nominates someone more moderate than the party's current presidential front-runners.

Obama, speaking with Politico correspondent Glenn Thrush, implicitly compared the 2016 race to his own opponent in 2008: Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona).

"When I ran against John McCain, John McCain and I had real differences, sharp differences, but John McCain didn't deny climate science," Obama recalled.

This is better than any endorsement...Obama doesn't want him.

His commie advisers are pretty slick. They certainly would know that any negative comments about someone running for president on the republican side would help that person get elected by making them more popular with republican voters.

Of course, nominating John McCain turned out wonderfully for the Republicans.

‘He referred to both Trump and Cruz.’

I’m glad to hear that. Cruz is having a hard enough time and deserves to be criticized by Obama. Might have made his day!

From your posted article...

"The president said his hope was for the Republicans to nominate a more "constructive" candidate than either Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who is currently Trump's top rival in the primary."

Earlier Obama made moves to take out Hillary with the FBI. Now the 200 FBI vehicles at the Oregon Standoff — a way to mire their investigation of her maybe? Depends on who he sent there.

Obama will be spending November and December with those very leftist regimes that are aligned with Russia, which is also getting more involved with communist China (which holds the major portion of our debt so should get first dibs on US soil when TSHTF).

The two wings of the alliance that illegally put the Foreign Enemy Combatant into our White House - the Islamists and the communists - are united against the US. And Obama has only EVER done what strengthens those 2 wings of the alliance and puts the actual USA at great risk.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I suspect that the “alliance” in one shape or another is going to attack us before the election of 2016 can make any difference. The campaign is just to keep us distracted so we don’t prepare and/or don’t do anything to thwart the plan that was already underway before Obama was even the DNC nominee in 2008.

Trump obviously has more things in common with Obama than does Cruz.

He’s trying to reach his core voters who will believe him if he claims the sun doesn’t rise in the east anymore. Thats how RATS think about their constituency. Nothing but fools to be manipulated.

And I had hoped the Democrats would have picked someone less destructive than Obama.

Boy, the list of reasons to dislike him just never seems to stop growing.

I don’t normally look at Politico because they’re crooks, but I was trying to find out what Obama plans for fundraising in 2016 and saw the article at http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/obama-2016-game-plan-216922 .

Consider the possibility that Obama isn’t worried about the 2016 election because he’s already made all the arrangements for the USA to be hit with an EMP attack that keeps any new POTUS from being inaugurated and triggers the communist-Islamist takeover of the USA. Then read that article and see if you perceive it the same way as I do.

True. But we can point out that during the last period of extended global warming, no major inhabited islands or cities were submerged under the ocean and the vikings quit raping and pillaging Europe and planted settlements in Iceland and Greenland and (before the Natives got too restless) in Newfoundland as well, where they planted and produced grapes for a couple of decades.

I've been trying to warn people for the longest time of the threats from what they themselves (Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran, Syria, North Korea, etc, etc) describe as their "new international order" agenda. But some know-nothing imbeciles here continually dismiss my posts as "copy & paste spam", probably without even bothering to read or comprehend it.

So instead of the warnings confirmed by linked, straight-from-the-horse's-mouth, sources, I'll have to hope that folks simply trust what I'm saying without the confirmation. It's a crazy, dumb-a** world we're living in today.

Again, from the same article...

"The president said his hope was for the Republicans to nominate a more "constructive" candidate than either Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who is currently Trump's top rival in the primary."
