Obama: Trump 'is ultimately helping do ISIL's work for us'
cnn.com ^ | July 25, 2016 | Eric Bradner

President Barack Obama had strong words for Donald Trump's rhetoric over Muslims in the wake of terrorist attacks, saying -- using another acronym for ISIS -- that Trump "is ultimately helping do ISIL's work for us." Obama also said Trump's suggestion he might not back NATO allies show he's unprepared to handle foreign policy, in an interview aired Sunday.

Obama's comments came in an interview with CBS' John Dickerson on "Face the Nation." The day before the Democratic National Convention's kickoff, the President made clear he's eager to attack Trump over foreign policy. *** Obama also criticized Trump over his proposed restrictions on Muslims' travel. He said the Muslim-American community in the United States "feels deeply American and deeply committed to upholding the rule of law, and working with law enforcement, and rejecting intolerance and extremism that's represented by the perversions of Islam that ISIL is sending out through the internet or carrying out in the Middle East." "But that requires leaders, political leaders, religious leaders, business leaders, all of us to send a very clear signal that we are not going to be divided in that fashion," Obama said. "And I think the kinds of rhetoric that we've heard too often, from Mr. Trump and others, is ultimately helping do ISIL's work for us."

I have never seen a pathological liar as bad as Baraq Hussein Obama. Even his real name is probably a lie. We know his social security number is.

He is comparing Trump to ISIS, it’s clear as day.

I have never heard a sitting President saying the things this frigging Moronic Traitorous Bastard says.

He lies to the American infidels out of every orifice.Precise. it is a tenet of Islam to lie to your enemies to further the Muslim religion.

This 'Trump hates Muslims and is racist' messaging works for the rabid lefty faithful, but this messaging doesn't appeal to the 'middle' or the right. Most people see terror attacks on the news, they see people getting killed indiscriminately all the time and they also see Donald Trump promising to do something about it while Hillary and Obama continue to go on TV defending Islam, time after time.

What this does is make Obama and Hillary appear to, at the very least to be making excuses for Terrorists or, often, sympathizing with them. Yeah, I know Obama added the 'Muslims like law and order too' line but that isn't doing anything to get people to trust him or Hillary on this issue. He's basically saying we need to be 'nice to them' and they won't do this stuff. That's absurd and it doesn't reassure anyone except the kumbaya crowd.

Obviously, to Obung-hole, Isis’ work and his goals are synonymous.

< This swine cannot leave office fast enough. And to think he will probably write books, do speaking tours, etc. I bet he officially adopts Islam within an year. But the Wookie in a burka is not a bad idea so it has some merit.

He already did in his youth. He was never a true Christian. He only stated he was one to get elected knowing hat Americans would never have elected a Muslim president in 200&. The so-called church he attended taught Black Liberation Theology, a faux religion set up by Communist to manipulate the black population and create diviision between black and white people. The only reason he attended that church was due to the well known celebrities that attended there including the infamous Nation of Islam Imam, Louis Farakhan. For him it was about networking. Jeremiah Wright has told reporters that Barack was not known the be the "church going type."

ISIS is a 100% gen-u-ine, proudly made in Langely, USA product.

Like ‘the 57 [OIC] states’ and “my Muslim faith” this is another Freudian slip.

“...do ISIL’s work.” or “...do ISIL’s work for them.” are what one might expect to hear unless one knows who and what he and ISIL are.

The other day he referred to Ramadan as The Holy month with emphasis in the inflection instead of the way a Christian would refer to it as their holy month.

“My Muslim faith...”

He tells us his ‘truth’ with his tongue-slips, yet his True Believers refuse to see.

Or don’t care.

Obama said. "And I think the kinds of rhetoric that we've heard too often, from Mr. Trump and others, is ultimately helping do ISIL's work for us."

Maybe I am being a bit overly picking in my use of the English language but I am pretty sure I am grammatically correct…

Does not that phrase mean that Obama considers himself a member of ISIL?

If he meant that Trump was helping ISIL work against the US he should have said "is ultimately helping do ISIL's work for them."

Screwy Louis has his OWN place of "worship" and he NEVER went to Rev. Wright's "church", except to "talk"!

Valerie Jarret made him go there and also made hi marry the MOOCHIE, because the Blacks would NEVER have voted for wee barry for ANYTHING, had he not been married and not gone to a church!

Jarrett went there, Oprah went there, Moochie and her family had gone there forever, and a lot of people you've never heard of, but people in Chicago know.

That would be Iranian born Valerie Jarrett, who spent the first five formative years of her life in Iran.

The left’s rant about Trump being a *recruiting tool* for ISIS makes no sense, as is typical for liberal arguments.

Why would ISIS want the guy who promises to kick the snot out of them until every last one is dead?

Common sense dictates that ISIS is rooting for BO’s third term, which would be Hillary.
