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 agree with you. I knew at the time that Obama would do a terrible job. I was only surprised at how quickly I was confirmed to be right.

The apology tour, and the unilateral scrapping of the missile defense in the formerly soviet block nations (could have been an negotiating tool with the Soviets, made no sense at all to give it up unilaterally with no quid pro quo).

Maybe Trump was trying to put a good face on a bad event (election of Obama), or trying to speak PC, or trying to court favor with the new administration. He shouldn't have said it.
