Well I think that he's sort of a guy that has just a wonderful personality, a good speaker, somebody that people trust."
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump praised president Obama in 2009 in his book Think Like A Champion and on CNN's Larry King Live.
Trump...wrote of Obama in his book, "What he has done is amazing." ...
Trump also wrote he thought Obama "has the mark of a strong leader" and said Obama's comments on the economy "have led me to believe that he understands how the economy works on a comprehensive level." ...
He has also surrounded himself with very competent people...

“Trump has been onto Obama since....since....since.....last Tuesday.”
He questioned Obama’s birth certificate about four years ago.
What stuff? What kind of stuff will someone who was fooled by Obama get done? What kind of stuff will someone in love with Scotland’s health care system get done? What will someone who doesn’t think Fannie and Freddie had anything to do with the economic crash get done? What kind of stuff will someone who rejects Hayek and Friedman get done? What kind of stuff will someone who thinks Planned Parenthood AND the Clinton Foundation do a lot of great things get done?
Be careful what you wish for. DAMNED careful. You’re on the list now.
(Oh, I know. All are failures except for one certain person.) /s.
Rush Limbaugh has played golf with Trump (and Trump probably even was smiling). Would that cancel out that picture for you?
Play the game?
Nevvvvver!
I think if Trump is listening to the people and willing to do what the majority want done, then he is shrewd.
If he does these things after elected, I will not care so much as to the reason he is doing it, just that it is getting done.
To be frank, I NEVER liked Obummer but gave him the benefit of the doubt as president at first.
I now DESPISE HIM with a passion that can’t be explained in words. And consider him a traitor.
I’ve evolved a little bit :)
But I concede your doubts are legitimate.
However, other than Cruz, everyone else stinks. And to be frank, without Trump in the race, I think Jeb would win, and I would rather die than see that.
The funniest part is, there isn’t a single issue that Trump hasn’t “evolved” on (except harping about China maybe).
Even Mitt Romney, Flipasaurus Rex himself, was more consistent in his positions than the Trumpster.
Trump endorsed and raised money for McCain.
And now he’s the worst...
I wonder if they now don’t have competent people...
yes, about four years ago.....which put him at least 7 years behind me in understanding Obama.
Maybe you were fooled too, so maybe you can relate to that kind of ignorance and deception. I can’t. I’ve never been that damned wrong in my entire life about anything.
Could be why you missed the rhetorical sarcasm in my “last Tuesday” comment.
Will that help him get the nomination for the GOP?
Reagan was a democrat once, too. Turned out pretty good if I recall correctly.
Thanks for posting. While Trump himself is a bit refreshing since he is going after Fox and the GOPe ... so is a review of Trump’s past statements ... if that is allowed at Trump Republic. All these candidates should get the same scrutiny.
Now your post is one I can respect...I disagree with some of your conclusions, but you are in the ten per cent of Trump supporters who have thought this all through and are making a conscious decision to go for it anyway.
You’re way ahead of the average bot on this....seriously.
“He wanted him to succeed.”
Ugh, that’s a pretty damning statement. That’s like saying you rooted for Darth Vader to win in Star Wars.
Either you sympathize with his goals, or you were too stupid to figure out what he was up to. Either way, not good.
Come now, Trump is merely 69. Can’t you absorb some “youthful indescretions” at the tender age 65-66?
In context the remarks aren’t even interesting.
Bizarre article.
...and said Romney was too extreme on immigration in 2012.
Any day you can find a way to use the adjective “mustachioed” is a good day, in my book :)
Won’t make a damned bit of difference to the bots PING.
