Obama: Trump's un-American, inhuman
Politico ^ | 11-4-16 | Edward-Isaac Dovere

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.”

Fantastic research, Liz.  Everybody needs to spread the word about this relatively unknown Obama corruption.

No, Trump is not falling for it.

Check out Trump's tweets to Obama -- get back to work Obama and create jobs for Americans. Stop wasting your time campaigning.

Love it.

I watched his last speech that ended only a half hour ago and it was great as usual with an exuberant and overflowing crowd.

The Morocco things is gaining traction......b/c taxpayers blanketed Morocco w/ tax dollars just few years back. Here's how that went down.

The Daily Caller has reported that Secy Hillary Clinton did two significant favors for Morocco, while accepting up to $28 million from Moroccan King Mohammed VI.

The Morocco/US corruption story is unfolding at Mach One Speed. US taxpayers are extorted millions to pave the way so that greedy pols can line up to get a piece of the action.

============================================

In 2008, the US State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) commenced a five-year, $697.5 million compact with the Kingdom of Morocco to reduce poverty and stimulate economic growth.

The State Dept's MCC compact invests in expansion of fruit tree agriculture (including olives, nuts, and dates), support for small-scale fisheries and fish-markets, enhancement of the artisanal sector in the city of Fes, and training for small-scale businesses across all these sectors .........with an emphasis on training for women and youth including literacy training.

======================================

WIKILEAKS--Hillary Was Paid Off By The King Of Morocco: Bill Clinton got paid speeches, Clinton Foundation donations, and, in return, then-Secy Hillary would give US support from the State Dept. Despite Morocco's human rights abuses, Hillary was viewed as being “among Morocco's most ardent supporters within the Obama administration.”

WIKILEAKS EMAIL DROP---"This was HRC’s idea, our office approached the Moroccans and they 100 percent believe they are doing this at her request. The King has personally committed approx. $12 million both for the endowment and to support the meeting.”

Abedin said Clinton’s attendance at HACK the CGI event was a condition of the $12 million contribution. “Just to give you some context, the condition upon which the Moroccans agreed to host the meeting was her participation. If HRC was not part if it, meeting was a non-starter,” Abedin said.

2012---Former Secy of State Hillary Clinton shakes hands with Morocco's
Foreign Minister Saad Eddine Othmani in Rabat Feb 26, 2012.

2015--Former US president Bill Clinton, on a private visit to Morocco, was received in the Rabat royal palace by HM King Mohammed VI.

ABC News reported in may 6, 2015 that ex-president Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation’s Global Initiative were being hosted at a five-star luxury hotel in Morocco by one of the world's most controversial mining companies, criticized for "serious human rights violations" by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice.

The Moroccan government-owned mining company OCP operates in disputed international territory in a remote part of the Saharan Desert and the firm has been criticized for removing the resources without adequately compensating the impoverished people who live there.“

Any time the human rights of a population are systematically suppressed in this type of way it's a serious concern, and I think it's worthy of attention,” said David McKean, who has studied the issue for the RFK center.

OCP mining paid $1 million to help host the event and throw a private cocktail reception, to the dismay of human rights activists.

2016 Pres O gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation on her visit to Morocco for "teaching Muslim girls"...... to be administered by the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.

Michele in Morocco, happy as a clam; she and Obama have 100 million dollars to spend when they get back to Chicago.
