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."

“Whose side is Obama on???”
Was there ever any doubt?
But worse than self-identifying with the Islamic State pseudo-Caliphate, is the Current Occupant’s total misreading of both the situation in the Middle East and the temper here domestically.
Resistance is not always futile. Sometimes the pressure, applied at just the right stress point, will bring down the entire temple, as Samson did in Judges 16:28-30 -
“28 Then Samson called to the LORD and said, “O Lord GOD, please remember me and please strengthen me just this time, O God, that I may at once be avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.” 29 Samson grasped the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and braced himself against them, the one with his right hand and the other with his left. 30 And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” And he bent with all his might so that the house fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed in his life.
Once a choom king - always a choom king.
Yep. I had to read it a couple times. He's an idiot. He's desperate to say anything he thinks will insult Trump. The man is deranged, sick, nuts, and, to top it off, a moron.
I hate the SOB. I truly wish he'd disappear forever.
Well, Barack's Freudian slip is showing again: Trump "is ultimately helping do ISIL's work for us."
Not for them (ISIL). But for...us (Barack and ISIL)?!?!?
Obama the dhimmi hard at work.
Nobody ever blurts out a lie. If they blurt it out, it’s the truth. The smartest guy on the planet just tipped his hand; spilled the beans.
Can’t wait to hear Trump’s comeback. ISIS came to power on obama’s watch. Obama is the one releasing terrorists, it’s on obama’s watch that we’ve had several attacks on our soil.
It’s “Islamic State in Syria/Islamic State in Libya,” no?
He said "doing ISIL's work for us."
Not "doing ISIL's work for them."
Verrrrrry interesting.
President Barack Obama is sounding more and more like "Baghdad Bob," is he not?
Outstanding post
I hate when Obozo uses the term “ISIL”, instead of “ISIS”.
That is a dog whistle to his Muslim comrades, as the “l” stands for “Levant”, an area which includes the present nation of Israel.
May God help us survive the next six months of this evil person.
lies?
He FINALLY spoke the truth.
Look at what he said.
“Trump is doing ISILS work for US”
Not “ for THEM. for US.
Meaning Dear Leader considers himself part of ISIL.
LOL, along with his daughters. They all might as well get used to them now.
I was wondering the same thing, and answering the same way.
“do ISIL’s work for us”????? FOR US???? Whose side is Obama on???
Either that or he said what he meant, knowing full well that the press would never call him on it.
Democrats sure do a lot of projection. What liars and crooks.
