It’s not me, it’s everybody. It’s been a total catastrophe. That’s what happened to Republicans. They got run are out of office because we have president that’s been so bad. And he’s been a catastrophe, there’s no question about it. He got us into a war we didn’t need. You look at the money, we’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a war, and then people wonder why the economy isn’t doing well. OPEC is ripping us off left and right, the oil countries are just ripping us off left and right. So you have wars, you have OPEC, all of this stuff. He didn’t do anything about it. He sends Condoleezza Rice. She gets off a plane and waves to everybody and then leaves. It’s ridiculous.

What about the above Donald's comments is not true? Like it or not, we got Obama because years of the Iraq war with no workable end game, and the financial meltdown. Bush was in office. Who else should he have blamed? Why would Donald not hope Obama would do a good job?

Why would Donald not hope Obama would do a good job?

Hope? Hope?

I notice you left out the part where Trump said of Obama: "...he cannot do worse than Bush".

But he was wrong about that, and many of us knew at the time he was wrong. And "hoping" Obama will do a good job? Ridiculously stupid or ludicrously naive (and Trump is NOT naive). No matter how bad GWB was, how could sane, rational, people "hope" Obama was going to "do a good job" when our sanity and rationality led us to know he was going to do very, very bad things to this country?

Hope, indeed. The only conclusion I can draw from Trump's comments in 2008 is that he was not rational and not sane.

As my old dad used to say (and still says, actually): "Hope in one hand, sh#t in the other, and see which one gets full first".

I see no boby wanted any part of you very accurate comment. Bush was one of the worst presidents ever. The most horrible one got elected by running against Bush twice! Only the most horrible one can make a horrible one good relatively OK.
