Obama: Trump's un-American, inhuman

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Donald Trump is more than un-American, President Barack Obama charged here Friday: He’s almost inhuman.

That’s not all: Trump’s running a racist campaign that black voters especially need to reject, Obama said.

“Don’t choose fear. Choose hope,” Obama said, offering his closing argument for the final days of the campaign that’s a summoning of his own 2008 campaign and a rejection of Trump. “Don’t choose fear. Choose hope.”

And Trump would only get worse if he made it to the Oval Office, Obama warned here in this state that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is hoping will go back blue in her battle to get to 270 electoral votes.

“If you disrespect women before you were in office, then you will disrespect them once you’re in office. If you accept the support of Klan sympathizers, if you don’t denounce them right away because you’re not sure, then that’s what you’re going to do in office,” Obama said. Same goes for not paying attention to the Constitution to the campaign: “not only will you disrespect when you’re president, but you actually may be willing to violate it when you’re in office.”

The case against Trump, Obama said is “not a Democrat or Republican — that’s not American.”

He added a few minutes later, “We’re not Democrats or Republicans first. We’re children of God first. We’re human beings first.”

Be disgusted by Trump, Obama told them, pulling out a little targeted pop culture.

“We can’t have a president who everyday seems to violate those basic values. The problem is that he’s done it so much that it’s become almost normal,” he said. “It’s like suddenly reality TV has entered into the race for the presidency. It’s not even ‘Survivor’ or ‘The Bachelorette,’ it’s like some ‘Love & Hip Hop’ stuff.”

The crowd at Fayetteville State University gymnasium was heavily African-American — before he arrived, Democratic Senate candidate Deborah Ross drew cheers for pointing out that her opponent, Sen. Richard Burr, had specifically opposed two black judges from being confirmed — and Obama spoke directly to them.

Trump says he’s going to send poll watchers to monitor activity in “certain areas,” Obama said, explaining slyly, “I don’t know what certain areas he’s talking about, but you do.”

The Clinton campaign is on alert about lagging African-American turnout, and Obama said that in a state with a history of Jim Crow and more recent battles over voting rights restrictions, there is a special responsibility to show up at the polls and speak out.

Think about the 100-year old North Carolina woman who’d been kicked off the voter rolls, he said, and recounted her fight to get herself reinstated in a letter that the president read to the crowd.

“It’s bad enough she was disrespected. Are we now also going to respect her because we’re not voting?” Obama said.

Obama singled out a Trump supporter who stood up to start waving a sign toward the beginning of his speech, urging the crowd to see the man as the kind of distraction that’s weighed down the campaign all along, unsuccessfully trying to quiet an enthusiastic crowd that started chanting “Hillary!”

“If you just focus, if you just think about it, the choice could not be simpler, the choice could not be clearer. There is a reason that so many Republicans, so many conservatives, have denounced the nominee of their party,” Obama said. “You’ve never seen a situation in which folks are denouncing the person who’s nominated as the leader of their party. And it’s because Donald Trump is uniquely unqualified.”

Earlier, speaking to the overflow crowd outside the gym, Obama recalled that he only won North Carolina in 2008 by about 2 votes per precinct. Everyone there needs to vote, he said, and every one of them needs to “nag the heck” out of everyone else they know to vote too.

Monday night, Clinton will end her campaign stumping with a rally in Philadelphia framed by the president and first lady Michelle Obama, leaving no question at all of how much the campaign is leaning on the Obamas to propel her into office, particularly among African-Americans. Obama laid into that sense here, talking about how much the support of North Carolina has meant to him and the first lady over the years, and to their daughters Malia and Sasha as well.

“If you deliver North Carolina for me,” Obama said, “that is the best send-off you can give me and Michelle.”

The crowd cheered. Obama took it in.

“It’s not that often where you have the chance to move history,” he said. “This is one of those moments. Right now you can reject mean spirited politics that would take us back. Right now you can elect a leader who spent her entire life trying to move this country forward. Our first female president. You have a chance to move history.”

Air Force One will take this long-legged smackdaddy back home, to Chicago...but he”ll have to pay his own way back to Kenya.

“Obama may curl into the fetal position in a corner of the White House and sob himself to sleep.”

That’s what Gore did when he lost to Dubya’.

[beethovenfan]

What a lying SOS Obunghole is.

This is a terrific opportunity for Trump. First off, I would love to see one campaign commercial showing what Obama said about Hillary in 2008 contrasted to today. At the end, simply show Obama saying that if you like your Doctor you can keep your doctor as a means for saying “we all know this guy lies.”

But absent that, I would like Trump to hit hard on what he has already said. Obama and the dems have done nothing for the black community. But right on cue and every four years, here they come to whip up fear and hatred in the black community as a means for controlling their vote.

Trump is correct, what the hell do they have to lose by voting for him.

[STJPII]

That’s the definition of unhinged

Barack Hussein is the one who is un-American, inhuman, and racist. That’s probably what gave him the idea to try that attack.

[xrmusn]

I really hope/pray he has to do the WH key hand off. FUBO-soetero.

DT should invite Dick Cheney to ‘accept’ the key.

Remember the picture when W & Cheney were giving their goodbyes? That look that Cheney threw out was outstanding.

Look who’s talking. America’s #1 Caucasian hater and race card player. Kiss my ass Obama!

He is not exactly a friend of blacks either.
He encourages them to wallow in self-pity, and hatred, and to remain slaves to the Government state. Importing millions of illegal immigrants to take away entry level jobs. Nothing to break their chains.

Obama is BFF to Islamic terrorists.

“Don’t choose fear. Choose hope.”

I AM choosing "hope."

I hope that Hillary gets creamed in the biggest landslide in American history.

I hope that she takes the entire Democrat Party (and their Republican accomplices) down with her.

I hope that the FBI investigation into her criminal and treasonous activities ends up dragging the whole Clinton cartel and the Obama administration into a legal cess pool s that destroys their "legacy" forever.

I hope that the Progressive movement finally loses its century long war on the U.S. Constitution and all that it stands for.

I hope that America re-commits to a "new birth of freedom," and going forward chooses the path of limited government, individual liberty, free markets and Constitutional law.

I hope that America finds its greatness again.

I hope. I hope. I hope.

[stormhill]

Did Barry say that with a straight face?

Not sure about the straight part but it's certainly in line with the rest of his speech; he used SCARE TACTICS while mouthing the slogan: "Don't choose fear. Choose hope"

Our president's behavior isn't merely sociopathic; it's actually pathological.

[frnewsjunkie]

obama just can’t help himself.. he has to get his nasty fingers into the mix.. ‘go home, barry.. just go home and stay inside for a little while longer’.

[xrmusn]

I hope it validates the internal polls I suspect exist.

Something is up as HRC is running ads on afternoon TV on local channels in DC...

The DC stations are vamped toward DC and the MD & VA suburbs.
She should have an immortal lock in MD & DC and I suspect the +7 in VA but they are knocking the lawyers off the ‘Judge Judy’ shows

Either the VA # is way off or they are afraid of a low turnout.

I can’t ‘run down’ the weekday afternoon TV crowd (lest I bring suspicion to myself BUT at least I am 77 and have earned the right etc).

They are pretty much sticking to the one where he mouths the ‘fornicate U’ and kick their arse statement.
To the informed, that should be helpful BUT.....

obozo projecting himself

[Vision]

Mr. 57 states speaks!

[poconopundit]

Share the sentiment, but the facts say Obama has plans to travel to Africa on the new Obama Foundation dime. He's learned a few corruption tricks from the Clintons.

Read the FR analysis Liz posted a couple weeks ago. The teaser:

Mr O gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation on her visit to Morocco, targeted to "teach Muslim girls". The 100 million tax dollars are to be administered by the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation. Read more here.

[Old Yeller]

There Barky goes, projecting again.

[TXBlair]

What’s that smell? That’s desperation.

Desperation, thy name is B.O.

[jospehm20]

Obama is such a drama queen. What a poofter.

[EnquiringMind]

Wow. We see your true colors shining through.
