(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.

Former President Buckwheat knows that he’s about to be arrested for treason and sent to Gitmo.
Seems to me the main job of the president is exactly what Obamanation said it isn’t.
I don’t care if a president says a bad word. I don’t care how he speaks, to a point.
Two things matter. His policies and his character. Trump gets a smiley sticker for both.
Excellent
idiotic, but typical, how MSM is giving impression this is a current interview, or at least an interview since Obama left office - neither of which is true.
however, there’s a lot of unintentional truth in the following:
12 Jan: Fox News: Brian Flood: Obama rips Fox News viewers: ‘You are living on a different planet’
Former President Barack Obama resurfaced on Friday and took a shot at Fox News viewers, saying they’re “living on a different planet” than people who consume mainstream media...
“One of the biggest challenges we have to our democracy is the degree to which we don’t share a common baseline of facts,” Obama said. “If you watch Fox News, you are living on a different planet than you are if you are listening to NPR.”...
The response got a big round of applause from the presumably liberal crowd at the City College of New York...

Frog march the choom man.
And we got really sick of this Pretender trying to shape our attitudes, shape our culture and attempt to make us aware of the many things that he knows that just aren't so [to borrow Reagan's great statement about liberals].
Perfect! LMAO.
I’m beginning to think so also.
I’m not sure they’ll ever go after him, but IMO this guy was filthy dirty as it relates to wanting what was best for this nation.
I doubt we were in his top ten, unless the top ten was a list of nations needing to be taken down.
Uh, that interview was taped long before the fake “shithole countries” comment, so Mullah Baraq’s pontification (mixed metaphor, I know) didn’t “come in the wake of” (one of my most hated cliches, BTW) it.
Obama proved you didn’t need no stinkin’ regulations, legislation or law at all when you’re a dim with the media at your feet. Just a phone call did the trick to undermine my great country.
Yes, especially when the media fawned over your every word, and then NOTHING.
Of course Michelle fihured it out. Omoron would never be able to figure it out by himself.
And then there’s Trump’s “stern warning” to Obama: “ You’d better, quick like a bunny, find a country that I can’t extridite you from, cuz as Judge Ito told OJ7 Simpson when he showed up in court wearing an Aloha shirt, “you misunderstood me, I didn’t say you’re going to Cancun, I said, you’re going to the Can, Cune!”
One of the best flicks of all time!
[Obama continues to sit on his butt and do nothing but talk]
Not according to the Chicago Bath house Faggotorium guyzz.
Former President S***hole chimes in.
Obama must be brought to justice for his illegal actions against Trump and the USA.
