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.

"The prescription of withdrawing from trade deals and focusing solely on your local market"

These bastards just LIE AND LIE AND LIE. That is not what Trump is talking about at all. Focusing solely on your local market, Obama is just a bleepin' liar. Of course Trump is not about only "focusing solely on your local market."

Silly me. I should have known better. Imagine a president actually answering questions from the people he was elected to serve.

Obama senses his "legacy" being dissolved by a heavy dose of unabashed TRUTH.

Perhaps the Democrats’ internal polling is showing Hillary is floundering?

His English is atrocious. Everyone claimed he was such a great speaker eight years ago. I never say it. I doubt he could pass English Comp 101.
