Obama goes on "rant" about Donald Trump's populism
CBS News ^ | June 29, 2016 | Rebecca Shabad

President Obama went off on his own rant Wednesday at a trilateral press conference in which he disputed the idea that Donald Trump is a populist and that the presumptive GOP nominee instead promotes "nativism" or "xenophobia."

After reporters asked a series of questions of Mr. Obama, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Mr. Obama decided he had something else to say in Ottawa -- he addressed the common theme of populism raised during the event.

"I'm not prepared to concede the notion that some of the rhetoric that's been popping up is populist," Mr. Obama said, referring to Trump.

Obama is particularly sensitive about any real or imagined “nativism” and “American populism” and “xenophobia” because of his illegal alien status

But wait, I thought "populist" was bad. Why is Obama not prepared to concede a bad thing about Donald Trump?

‘’It really was the Three Stooges on that stage today, with Obammy being the black Curly, a mumbling, stumbling idiot.’’

Hey, I resemble that! Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

Saw that too, he wasn’t making much sense and suggest he follow Bush’s example and limit his commenting on the next election.

With that, I’d rather he didn’t follow my advice and would also request Trump keep calling Democrats out on their policies and how they haven’t worked. Fed Yellen tried to blame everything on Brexit and today the markets rebound nicely. 2 years to exit, my, the panic.

An aside, why wasn’t the Canadian Prime Minister asking about buying their oil and the Mexican President asking about gun running?

‘The primary question is: What investment does Barack Obama have in this election?’

Obama is a Malignant Narcissist. One of their/his defining traits is the inability to tolerate criticism. In Obama’s eyes, if voters reject his chosen successor and opt for a candidate who stands against everything Obama supports, that would be a rejection. He’s fighting tooth and nail—and it will only get worse—to prevent that scenario from materializing.

Just think after Jan 20 or so Trump will still have his own jetliner

And the rebels in Libya got control of all of the Ground to Air Missiles

I am really worried about Trump's safety

He has so many against him it is scary

Uh. It matters not what you concede or don't concede that's "popping up", Mr. Big Ears. Trump is already president.

I’m surprised Obama knows how to say a big word like “xenophobia”. After all, he stumbles over “corpsman”.
