President Barack Obama on Friday said presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has a "long record that needs to be examined" and insisted that the race for the White House is "not a reality show."

"I think I just want to emphasize the degree to which we are in serious times and this is a really serious job. This is not entertainment, this is not a reality show. This is a contest for the presidency of the United States," Obama told reporters in his first public comments about since Trump's GOP rivals ended their presidential campaigns.

Obama also said the media needs to play a role in vetting the candidates' policies and not focus on the "circus."

"If they take a position on international issues that could threaten war, or has the potential of upending our critical relationships with other countries, or would potentially break the financial system, that needs to be reported on," Obama said in the White House briefing room.

Obama has previously been critical of Trump's foreign policy statements, saying they show the former reality television star doesn't know much about "the world generally."

"There is no doubt that when asked his reaction to House Speaker Paul Ryan's saying he is not yet ready to back Trump.

...there is a debate that's taking place inside the Republican Party about who they are and what they represent," Obama added...

We know who Obama is and we know what America's first homosexual president represents! He addressed mothers on Mothers' Day with a shout out to perverted mothers and non-mothers.

He is indeed a mother.........

Too bad the complicit media didn't examine the sordid past of Barack.

Yep. That’s pretty rich coming from a Taqiyyan lyin’ president that had all of his records sealed prior to becoming president. We know who put that POS in office - the father of all lies and his assistants.

Has any president ever weighed in on an election (that he was not in) like this guy???

I'm still just a wee bit doubtful he's leaving in January.

Hillary’s long record needs to be examined too, and she needs to be in jail for her secret and illegal e-mail server.

The most evil president put in office by citizens who actually hate the country and those who were easily fooled by the printed and televised media. In retrospect it looks like we were taken over by the enemies of all we believed in. They drove the country into the ground economically, they sent jobs overseas, they diminished our military strength.

That is what Obama and his henchmen did. Sadly, Bush and the republicans allowed it and paved the way. Bush never spoke out against the worst president who followed him. So shame on Bush too.

This fruitcake is throwing so much crap out intending it to land on our faces and piss us off that it is beyond astounding.

It’s now that this creep unveils even more of his industrious filthy mind. To think that a degenerate like this one has been president of the USA for the past seven years is stomach churning. The world snickers as this mental case struts across the world’s stage.

Of course we have a dump truck bed full of past presidents who were an embarrassment, but Barry still wins the prize.

Good job! Keep talking, Barry, you're finally doing something productive as POTUS.
Every time you flap your fly infested lips you drive people to the man.

Obama’s record needs to be examine further as well, but unfortunately, because of Obamacare, proctologists have long wait times, so there will be a delay in examining Obama.
