Full title....................Obama called Trump a 'cartoon' in private, reveals former aide who admits president defeated Hillary with the same message his boss did: 'She's part of a corrupt establishment'......................President Barack Obama went through multiple emotional stages after Donald Trump's election - sometimes angry, sometimes resigned - as he talked to aides about the 'cartoon' figure who cared more about crowd size than policy, as he referred to the president-elect who would follow him into the Oval Office.

Obama also expressed rare self-doubt, wondering whether he had misjudged his own influence on the country.

The revelations on the former president's inner thinking came to light in a new memoir - 'The World as It Is' - by his longtime adviser Benjamin J. Rhodes that is scheduled to be published next week but was previewed inThe New York Times.

Cartoon character???? Really????......
With those big, ole, flapping, Dumbo ears attached to his stick figure head, he could fly if he’d just learn how to flap em.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Odongo would be best served to STFU and quietly return to his home country of Kenya. He was/is an illegal, ineligible, unqualified POTUS. PeeLousie and that whole Congress should be locked up for not vetting and fostering that bassturd on the country.

With those ears, I wouldn’t be calling anyone a cartoon.

As I recall, Jesse Helms got the first political cartoon anyone drew of him framed and kept it in his office.

I like that one of him early in the 2016 campaign where Miss Columbia is dancing with him, after having jilted Jeb et al.

I don’t care if Obama went through the 7 stages of grief or the 9 circles of hell. As long as he’s gone.
