Donald Trump lambastes Barack Obama's debt speech
The Politico ^ | April 14, 2011 | Maggie Haberman

Donald Trump slammed President Barack Obama's deficit-reduction speech Thursday, saying it was a dressed-up version of his reelection “stump speech.”

That "wasn't wasn't a deficit cutting speech,” Trump, speaking with Fred Dicker on Talk 1300 radio in New York, said of Obama’s speech the day before. “That was a... stump speech. That was the beginning of his run for president.”

Trump, facing some backlash from black leaders for his newfound love of the birther movement, also insisted he would do well with black voters if he runs for president. “I have a great relationship with the blacks,” he said, “I've always had a great relationship with the blacks."

He argued that identity politics has played a role in Obama’s success: “Look at Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton did so much for the black population and then she got very few votes."

Trump also walked back a recent statement that he would "probably" run as an independent if he loses the GOP primary, saying, "there's no doubt in my mind that I want to run as a Republican."

Obama-lama-ding-dong is going to need a MUCH bigger umbrella to keep off all the crap raining down on him after that pathetcic excuse of a debt reduction speech.

He is the most self serving, narcissistic and utterly out of touch with reality “resident” (I won’t use the word “president” to describe him) of the Oval Office we have ever had. He’s just a pathetic joke of a cartoon.

During his campaign he definitely “talked the talk”, but when he actually took office and the campaign facade was stripped off, it became abundantly clear that he was nothing but an empty suit, fitting of all hype and a product of well orchestrated propaganda program.

I’m glad you’re taking Obama to task, Donald.

But give me a reason why I should trust you.

Until recently, you were a pro-Hillary liberal advocating for government run healthcare. You supported John Kerry, of all people, for president in 2004.

All I want is a reason I can trust you.

Then why doesn’t he speak the words that will explain why he thought Hillary Clinton should be Commander in Chief.

Why doesn’t he speak the words that will explain what was going on in his mind, just a couple years agod, making him think our country needs government run universal healthcare, otherwise known as hillarycare, twin sister to obamacare?

Too bad his recent actions don't match his current words!

Be very careful with Trump.

Remember Reagan's immortal words:

"Trust, but Verify!"

I’d rather have someone who believes in constitutional conservatism leading the charge for constitutional conservatism.

Not someone like Trump, who opposes it.

If “the Donald” exposes the Kenyan Con Man for the fraud he is, he will have served his purpose. I would never vote for him for President though, unless he wound up in the same position as that RINO POS McCain, where it was vote for him or a lib, which I would rather “cut my fingers off and feed them to the fish” than do.

The last thing we need in our battle against Marxism, Maoism, Stalinism and Obamaism is a phony, two-faced opportunist pretending he’s on our side.

But if Trump is only pretending to be conservative, in order to reap personal gain, I’m thinking maybe we should disregard him completely.

Are the TRUMP haters the same as the PAUL haters?

My guess, yes. The same people who support the RINO TV Evangelist - Huckabee

Maybe Trump was right in supporting hillarycare?

Maybe he knew what he was talking about when he said Hillary needed to be Commander in Chief?

Put Allen West and Herman Cain in the steel cage with these “black leaders” (who?? I don’t remember any election!), and I give the match 2:30.
