President Obama said he believed in the sensibility of Americans and did not think Republican Donald Trump would win the election.
"I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president," Obama said at a press conference in California Tuesday. "And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people."
Taking it a step further, Obama said the office of the president was a "serious job."
"It's not hosting a talk show or a reality show. It's not promotion, it's not marketing. It's hard, and a lot of people count on us getting it right," he said.
Obama said he did not think voters' concerns were limited to Trump. "I find it interesting that everyone's primarily just focused on Mr. Trump," he said, "because he says in more interesting ways what the other candidates are saying as well."
The president then made a clear reference to Sen. Marco Rubio, though he never said his name directly.
"You've got a candidate who sponsored a bill -- that I supported -- to finally solve the immigration problem, and he's running away from it as fast as he can," said Obama.

Every thread posted with “Obama” in the title should be proceeded by (LAME DUCK).
Your time has passed Barry Obama!
Given the sickening Republicrat Congress of cowards and lickspittles anything is possible.
I have changed my political affiliation from Republican to Monarchist. When I tell the tele-solicitors this they go out of their minds.
You are, indeed, logical.
Trump had better not sleep with any pillows over his face. Just sayin’.
Bozo gets his tongue wrapped around those fangs of his and his syntax gets seriously garbled.
He is such a sickening piece of corruption.
What would Zero know about the presidency being serious. He has taken more golf vacation than many presidents combined.
Yep. If it is not a threat, a reasonable man would not talk like this.
“The media has a huge, huge ammunition store to use on Trump.”
Yep, they’ve got 30 years of coverage of his escapades in their archives to dig through.
“helped SAVE New York City!”
You say that like it’s a good thing.
Another “don’t throw me in that briar patch” moment from the Democrats. They are licking their chops at the prospect of taking on Trump, so much so that they will promote him through comments like this.
Obama said in July of 2008 that he would be POTUS for “the next 8 to 10 years”. The only way that could happen is if something so devastating happens that elections and/or inauguration cannot take place. Like maybe an EMP attack from North Korea or Iran... The “tells” that Obama is giving lead me to strongly believe that the plan since at least July of 2008 was for Obama to get everything ready so that an EMP attack could hit the continental USA (not Hawaii, where he intends to live...) in November or December - which is exactly the time that Obama is planning to run a victory lap with his commie buddies in the southern hemisphere (the EMP hit would come through the hole in our south-facing radar, so the southern hemisphere would be unaffected).
Shortly after he made that statement in July of 2008 his communist and Islamist allies committed the crimes necessary for the coup of 2008 which made him the dem nominee and illegally placed him into our White HOuse as a Foreign Enemy Combatant. Those are the same communist and Islamist allies who have since been funded, armed, trained, excused, and given wide-open access to the USA by Obama. His victory lap as America burns in November and December will be with the same communists who have given North Korea and Iran the ability to hit us with an EMP. And Venezuela is the nation that flew Hamas and Hezbollah operatives and materials directly from Iran (until it was reported in 2011; since then the direct unchecked flights are from SYRIA) to Venezuela in direct, unchecked flights. Once in Venezuela their identities were laundered so they could slip through the door that Eric Holder held WIDE open for these terrorists to slip through. And it was all planned. Remember this regime advertising for people to help the expected flood of “unaccompanied minors”, long before it happened? It’s all planned.
Josh Earnest, when asked about Obama’s 2016 plans, in addition to revealing his November-December victory lap with communist South American regimes, smugly said that they would make Obama’s legacy permanent and there would be some “surprises”. Well.... NK testing a super-EMP and putting another satellite into orbit were “surprises”.... A Hellfire being mailed to Cuba was a “surprise”... our sailors being picked up by Iran when Obama called Iran to ask them to “help” is a “surprise”... Antonin Scalia being suddenly invited to a very remote ranch days after a ruling challenging Obama’s desired “permanent legacy” and dying in his sleep with no investigation or autopsy to find the real COD is definitely a “surprise”....
And now Obama seems to know that Donald Trump won’t be President. Probably because he already told us in July of 2008 that HE would be POTUS for 2 years beyond his term limit.
Donald Trump DEFINITELY needs to consider this a threat, and what all the candidates, all the Congress-critters, and all the constituents should be doing is getting that hole in our south-facing radar fixed, now that North Korea and Iran have the nukes necessary for an EMP attack and have both launched satellites at the exact altitude and in the exact orbit necessary to exploit that hole. If Obama or the Joint Chiefs of Staff balk, detain them under the authority of the Patriot Act and waterboard them until they spit out the truth of what plan Obama was referring to in July of 2008.
Unfortunately, I don't think the history books will cast him in such a disparaging light. The current crop of high schoolers and college journalists will be writing the history books in the future, and with the indoctrination of liberal theology being so heavily ingrained in them from kindergarten, I have a feeling that history will be starkly different according to future historians.
Are you suggesting the corrupt MSM will begin to imprint the narrative of Trump as the privileged, rich Republican who is only concerned about his corporate buddies? Or maybe, Trump as the callous guy who wronged so many who are now hidden, but waiting in the wings until the NYTimes does a 10,000 word expose on how Trump mistreated women, children, and every blue-collar worker he ever employed or employed via a contractor.
Or perhaps the NYTimes won’t do a rectal exam of every Trump transaction and business deal. Maybe, TMZ won’t extensively profile Mr. Trumps past wives or possible many paramours. Perhaps the supermarket tabloids won’t have pictures of glamorous women who will suddenly come forward with all kinds of salacious discussion or describe how rotten Mr. Trump treated them.
I respect the Trump supporters, but I hope they are fully prepared for a sudden and furious media colonoscopy of Mr. Trump, when miraculously, every word Mr. Trump carelessly spoke in private will now be repeated very publicly.
Timing is everything for those who may look for a payday, and should Mr. Trump become the nominee, there may likely be many, many people who’s first thought is, “jackpot”.
I think Mr. Trump is getting a nice cushy free ride at the moment as long as he, like Palin before him, can deliver TV ratings, but should he become the nominee, that worm will turn and Mr. Trump will be relentlessly sliced into ribbons... no matter how much he threatens to sue. It will be too late.
Oh Mr. Obama, if you think that Mr. Trump will never be President, than WHY is he drawing CROWDS of people to his rallies?
What that line actually means is ‘We’ve made a deal with the republicans. We’ll help them by rigging the ballot boxes and make sure Trump never becomes president. The UniParty has to stick together.’
They have oppo on all the candidates so you can expect the onslaught of destruction no matter who gets the nod.
If a so-called community organizer with a made up name who never did a lick of work in his life aside from representing the slum-lord Rezko in landlord tenant court can be president, truly, anything is possible.
...He better have a loaded gun by the side of his bed.
Entirely opposite to 2008 when the media ignored completely Obama'a Marxist and terrorist connections (Bill Ayers). McCain even dismissed voters during townhall appearances who tried to ask the question. Only Sean Hannity, we on FR, and a few others tried to raise the alarm which was ignored by the MSM.
