(CNN) - During a conversation with David Letterman on his new Netflix program, former President Barack Obama issued a stern warning for the current commander in chief: "One of the things that Michelle figured out, in some ways faster than I did, was part of your ability to lead the country doesn't have to do with legislation, doesn't have to do with regulations, it has to do with shaping attitudes, shaping culture, increasing awareness." Although Obama was extremely hesitant about directly commenting about President Donald Trump, the message he sent was clear.
And it comes in the wake of the upsetting news that during a private meeting with legislators at the White House, President Trump referred to African nations as "shithole countries." The President tweeted out a denial that he ever said this, with two Republican legislators saying that they couldn't remember. Illinois Democrat Richard Durbin, who was in attendance, responded that Trump did use the term and said things that were "hate-filled, vile and racist." And a Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said he appreciated Durbin's statement -- and had challenged Trump's comments.
It would be a mistake to dismiss the comments as a "distraction" because, with Trump, they are the main show. His rhetoric sends a message to the nation and to the world about the values that we treasure and that the nation will stand for in 2018.

Hey O.....he’s coming after you and your fellow CORRUPT CRIMINALS!!! He’s going to GET you!
“shaping attitudes, shaping culture, increasing awareness.”
YES! and Trump is doing that in terms of responsibility, truthfulness, proper handling of finances, all the things you let slide oDumbo and Moocher.
And had Hillary’s Bengahzi
Murders under His watch.
Which is exactly what President Trump has been doing.
Hahaha... I see what you did there. Very good. ;)
1) There was an election. I Won.
2) It’s Okay to be White
3)
Thank God he didn’t find a way to blow off electoral politics and stay in office. This may be the ONLY difference between us and Venezuela, We were somehow able to elect OUR president. As ironic as it sounds, we now LOVE Donald Trump as President. I’m hearing less and less bitching about him on the street. As soon as everybody gets their “Christmas present” the denunciations will continue to die down.
I don’t know whether Vladimir Putin is a good man or a bad man. I’ve read things, written by journalists that imply that he is a bad man. Nevertheless, he TOOK ON the oligarchs (mobsters) and the NGos (Soros) and has earned so MUCH bad press that I’m inclined to believe none of it. His compatriots seem to agree giving him overwhelming electoral victories in situations where they were unlikely to be forced.
