With Hillary Clinton sidelined by pneumonia, U.S. President Barack Obama took up the Democrats' fight against Donald Trump on Tuesday, trying to quash the Republican presidential candidate's bid to appeal to working-class voters.

Obama, whose 50 percent job approval rating could help improve the climate for the Democratic ticket in the Nov. 8 election, rallied party faithful against Trump, a 70-year-old New York real estate developer, at an outdoor event in Philadelphia.

"This is a guy who spent 70 years on this earth showing no concern for working people. He spent most of his life trying to stay far away from working people. He wasn't going to let you on his golf course," Obama said.

Exactly, nothing says ‘kiss of death’ like Barry ‘helping you out’.

Yep, Obama has his priorities (golf). And is totally, outright lying right there.

Ah yes, the current sitting President (not for long, thank the good Lord), working again as a community activist, but this time at the Taxpayers’ expense. Loads of class, Mr. O. Could you just GO?

No way his campaigning will make any difference and Trump should do ads where BO says Americans are lazy and Hillary’s deplorable comments...makes for a good ad, I think.

Projection, plain and simple.

How many of the unwashed would be allowed on the golf course with obama?

I'd say Trump has shown a heckuva lot more concern than you have, Barry.

Barry, Trump employs more than 20,000 people at this time and signs their paychecks and pays them with his own money earned through Trump enterprises.

Barry, have you ever employed 1 person and paid them with your own money? NOT!!!

Trump ought to say “At this point in time Barack Obama is irrelevant”. That’ll scorch ‘im.

“Free trade” Obama. Fast Track Obama. TPP Obama. TTIP Obama. Open borders Obama. Amnesty Obama. Futile overseas wars Obama. Goldman Sachs Obama. TARP Obama.

He flew straight from Martha’s Vineyard to Philly to lecture the peasants about how Trump doesn’t know anything about the working man.

My memory isn’t that great these days, but did Bush go after Obama while he was still sitting in the Office of the President?

Ha! Obama is pretty touchy about the golf thing. He's mad that Trump didn't want him to disrupt his regular members, so he wouldn't let Obama play at Trump National back in 2014.

But Trump did give him permission to play there with this Twitter offer:
Donald J. Trump ✔
@realDonaldTrump

If Obama resigns from office NOW, thereby doing a great service to the country—I will give him free lifetime golf at any one of my courses! 4:22 PM - 10 Sep 2014

With Clinton out sick, Obama goes after Trump

A better headline would be "Peewee Herman goes after Mike Tyson"

It was always her plan, but even more so now that she is sidelined. To wit, raise a $hitload of cash and flood the airwaves for the last two weeks. Something tells me that does not work now that this pungent issue of her health has been brought up. There is her actual health and the consequences it might have on her ability to serve as president. Then there is the way they confronted this and managed the news about it. And all of that just reminded a lot of people about Bill Clinton and his extreme prevarication.

His absence lets people forget what a turd he is, like Hillary the more he is visible the lower his ratings go.
