Obama: Trump's doom-and-gloom doesn't match reality
CNN ^ | 7/22/2106 | Kevin Liptak

The deeply pessimistic outlook that Donald Trump offered at this week's Republican National Convention doesn't match reality, President Barack Obama insisted on Friday.

Noting he didn't watch Trump's prime-time acceptance speech on Thursday -- "I've got a lot of stuff to do" -- Obama said he read news coverage of the remarks. And he said they didn't match most Americans' experiences.

"This idea that America is somehow on the verge of collapse, this vision of violence and chaos everywhere, doesn't really jibe with the experience of most people," Obama said during a press conference in the White House East Room alongside Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.

I am so damn sick and tired of the Muslims Obama is importing into America in wholesale lots. I watched two women in Muslim drab with a young kid talk their Arabic crap at Vanderbilt’s cancer center this AM. None of these women, their children or their husbands will ever assimilate. If I were President not a single Muslim would be allowed in America as the Koran tells them to hate us, convert us, demand taxes, plus even kill all who are not of their faith. Islamic types will never fully assimilate.

The Dems are worried. Trump pulled the sheets off their failures and now they have to try to rationalize them.

You’re right; to him, the Dem loss of the House and Senate had nothing to do with his own performance - it was just cracker obstructionism...

Our pResident is projecting.

The doom and gloom he speaks of is really about Americans waking up to his failed policies and ideology.

Donald Trump’s speech was absolutely terrific. The liberal/progressive/statist movement should be very afraid.

“Obama” and “reality” do not belong in the same sentence.

To Obama and the Lefties who hate America, “gloom and doom” is making America Great Again.

Can’t wait for the time when we don’t have to see or hear the nauseating words this Enemy in Chief spews out.

John 8:44

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Well, sure it’s not gloom and doom to him. All this chaos makes him happy.

This country has never been economically, militarily or morally worse off than it is now.

Trump’s vision for the future is bright, the dark “vision” he’s described is what we have now, and most voters know exactly what Trump is talking about because they live these things on a daily basis, unlike the elite enemedia propagandists who keep telling us how wonderful everything is even though no one can afford medical care, mean family income is down $4,000.00 since obama took office, ISIS attacks innocents on nearly a weekly basis around the world, our manufacturing jobs have been sent to Mexico and China, illegal immigrants flood the U.S., bringing disease, violent crime and depressing wages, violent black-on-black crime in the big, Democrat-controlled cities is out of control, cops are being assassinated on nearly a weekly basis with the tacit approval of the Obama administration, and much, much more.

None of these incidents ever happened over in the alternate universe in which the Current Occupant dwells. The news reports that the rest of us read are regarded as some sort of speculative fiction by the Current Regime, and if they just go take a nap, or go off on a fund-raising expedition, or play a couple rounds of golf, the crisis just never develops.

Things will be better in the morning. Or so they seem to believe.
