Not so rare praise for Obama.

“”Donald Trump recalls with chagrin that he supported Barack Obama for president in 2008, but says he now realizes that those moving hope-and-change speeches were nothing more than rhetoric.

Donald Trump, Obama, Hannity”I was his biggest cheerleader,” the multibillionaire businessman told Sean Hannity on his Fox TV show Tuesday night. “If you go back three years, I’m saying, ‘Do a great job.’ I wanted him to do a great job. I still want him to do a great job.”””

Dump the Trump. The man is the definition of political actor. Not only is he a phony, the man has zero chance against the dems because his self serving ambitions for presidency is obvious to most.. unfortunately to many here have fallen for him. I do believe though that he is bound to implode.

Donald Trump recalls with chagrin that he supported Barack Obama for president in 2008, but says he now realizes that those moving hope-and-change speeches were nothing more than rhetoric.
”I was his biggest cheerleader,” the multibillionaire businessman told Sean Hannity on his Fox TV show Tuesday night. “If you go back three years, I’m saying, ‘Do a great job.’ I wanted him to do a great job. I still want him to do a great job.”

A few observations:

  1. Trump recalls [supporting 0bama] with 'chagrin'. I bet there are a lot of perfectly decent Americans who feel that way right now.
  2. He wanted to see the President 'do a great job'. Again, that's not an unreasonable attitude towards any new President.
There are many, many disillusioned Americans who no longer support 0bama. The winner of the next Presidential election might very well be the person who can most effectively tap this well of rage and disappointment in the electorate.

The fact is, Trump has cohones: he represents a candidate who expresses himself as the staunch individualist that he is, and who isn't afraid to ignore, and even challenge, contemporary "inside the beltway" political correctness which dominates Washington.

Trump is reminiscent in some ways of Ross Perot, in having a distinct disdain for engaging in phony political rhetoric, and also a tendency to just shoot straight and "tell it like it is" even when that ruffles the feathers of the PC crowd.

It's actually very refreshing, and think that if Trump can push back hard enough against these attacks by the Orwellian left-wing PC media propaganda machine, he might actually provide for some energetic national discussions which could potentially take place outside the framework of the one-party Establishment governing coalition of Tyrannical Marxist Ideologues, Corporatists, Nanny-Staters and their ilk.

I don't know that I'd like to see him win as yet, but I would like to see Donald Trump stick around for a while. We'll have a livelier national debate on at least some issues if he does. We already are.

You guys notice something missing from this thread?

Virtually ALL of the regular defenders of liberal Donald Trump are nowhere to be seen. You know their names.

They flood FR with everything they can find about their liberal hero but when a thread appears wherein he is praising the Marxist community organizer they remain conspicuously silent.

Just an observation.
