Speaking at a press conference in Ise City, Japan on Thursday, President Obama said that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was causing a lot of consternation among world leaders. Answering a question about Trump at the G-7 Summit, Obama said many international leaders were “surprised” by some of the billionaire’s comments in recent months. “They’re rattled by it,” Obama said, “and for good reason. Because a lot of the proposals that he’s made display either ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude or an interest in getting tweets and headlines instead of actually thinking through what it is that is required to keep America safe and secure and prosperous, and what’s required to keep the world on an even keel.” Now, the left-wing press is regarding this as some monumental moment in American history. The sitting president of the United States, on foreign soil, taking shots at his potential successor that question his very competence? Even for presidents who regularly blur the line between professionalism and partisanship, this was a rare break with tradition. It must show just how deeply Obama is concerned about a President Trump. “President Obama’s public disparagement […] obliterated the now-quaint political convention that partisanship stops at the water’s edge,” wrote the New York Times. “It also revealed a stark truth: The world is worried about Trump.”
Did it, though? Notice the subtle bias here. President Obama merely said something, and yet the nation’s most respected newspaper jumps to the conclusion that he “revealed a stark truth.” No he didn’t. He revealed an opinion. He may have even lied. But when it comes to this president, the media assumes everything out of his mouth is God’s holy truth.
On the other hand, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. Because based on what several world leaders have said publicly, Obama is probably telling the truth. There certainly does appear to be some worry from the leadership in Mexico and the UK, to name a couple of obvious examples. So fine. World leaders are “rattled.” Isn’t that precisely what Trump is aiming for?
“When you rattle someone, that’s good because many of the countries in our world have been absolutely abusing us and taking advantage of us,” Trump said in North Dakota. “So if they’re rattled, in a friendly way, we’re going to have great relationships with these countries.”
Trump, remember, isn’t just trying to put Republicans back in the White House. He’s trying to change the paradigm of American – and international – politics. His entire platform boils down to: We can’t afford to keep doing things the way we’ve always done them. Of course that rattles the world. That’s the whole point.
They stopped calling themselves negros...I didn’t.
Un known and unmentioned are how many foreign leaders are calling trump on the QT and wishing him well
OK guys, fine. Terminology is important.
Read the excellent, ‘The Obama File’ for astonishing facts on Obama from childhood to present.

This information was all out there when the marxist/muslim threw his hat into the ring the first time.
We chose to ignore all this because we were so h*ll bent on proving to the world that we’re not racist.
Obama’s world:
“We live today in an America in which the butchers of the Jihad in Guantanamo Bay receive better medical care than veterans waiting endlessly at the VA. While Obama cut off hot meals for Marines in Afghanistan, Islamic terrorists in Guantanamo Bay were enjoying lemon baked fish, honey glazed chicken, lyonaise rice, tandouri chicken breast, okra, hummus, dates, honey and seasoned lentils.” - Greenfield

too bad Trump isn’t ignorant enough to believe that one day, you can be male, the next you can be female, because “gender fluid...”
On Inauguration Day, I wish President Trump would slap BO’S face. This slime ball is a disgrace!
Up until about 5 years ago, my mother was openly referring to them as Afro Americans.
I heard her say that in front of her coworkers, both black and white, and had to leave the room and find a quiet, secluded place to lie on the floor, kicking and screaming with hysterical laughter.
BaaaaHaaaaHaaaaaa
Yes his is “ignorant” and a “bigot” and a much better person than you, Obama, master racist.
zerohissef should know...after 8 years of that bumbling boob, Trump will be a breath of fresh air.
If the euroweenies are nervous so much the better.
One shouldn’t put their faith in ANY politician. Wise decision making is needed. You have chosen wisely
What irony! Pot calling kettle!
Dang, duckman, you beat me.
A new day is dawning.
They stopped calling themselves “Negroes”...so? Negro is the Spanish word for black. Are the Spanish no longer politically correct? Do the Spanish need to change their language? Can we no longer use Spanish words? Somebody needs to leave politically-correct-land and get a grip on reality.
George Wallace, is that you? Just say black Americans. Sheesh
Spoken by the man from a nation of 57 states.
That from Mr. 57-state-er.
The presser he addressed the “rattled” comment is great;

Trump always rolls stupid criticisms like Obama’s into positives.
