President Obama said in a radio interview airing on Monday that Donald J. Trump, a leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination, is exploiting the resentment and anxieties of working-class men to boost his campaign. Mr. Obama also argued that some of the scorn directed at him personally stems from the fact that he is the first African-American to hold the White House.
Demographic changes and economic stresses, including “flatlining†wages and incomes, have meant that “particularly blue-collar men have had a lot of trouble in this new economy, where they are no longer getting the same bargain that they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a single paycheck,†Mr. Obama said in the interview with National Public Radi
The comments were Mr. Obama’s most pointed response to Mr. Trump since the Republican candidate suggested that Muslims be barred from entering the United States after the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif. The attack was carried out by a couple who apparently were radicalized Muslims, one of whom had entered the United States on a fiancée visa.

Also, great opportunity to discuss Obama running our debt up to $20,000,000,000,000,00.
. . . says the guy who spent a month squealing that airplanes would fall out of the sky and water would turn to poison if the sequester took effect.
“Why is he campaigning?â€
My question, as well.
(1) defending his legacy.
(2) doubling down on our destruction so that we have commie government.
(3) he is an idiot that cannot shut up. He’s always got to run his mouth.
There are so many things strange and just wrong about his thought processes I can't even go there.
When did any man ever support baraq Barry Soetero obama much less consider it a bargain to do so? Maybe LoLo for a while in Indonesia while his bitter condescending princess of a mother with her Indonesian oil executive husband and house staff pursued a PhD in textile art. His grandmother supported him all his life until he got on the affirmative action gravy train.
And he pontificates on white lower class economic envy and racism the day before heading off on his $3 million Hawaii vacation?

Because he doesn’t want Trump’s common sense to sway public opinion, stopping Obama from continuing to weaken America in the time he has left.

You mean “bitter clingers”
Obama, go preach your anti-American crap were you came from: the ME.
Trump is the most influential person in US politics today. It is really irritating to those career politicos that this unelected business man is making them dance to his tune.
In other words "this new economy" means one without a middle class. And Trump is pointing this out.
Obama just admitted the economy is a failure under his admin.
Obama is digging a big hole. Trumps job is easy, tie Hillary tight to Obama and run against him.
Obama hates America, Obama is not hitting on all eight cylinders, Obama has mental problems, the real Obama, the Despot, Tyrant, Dictator is now developing in full insane bloom, Obama is both “Turncoat & Traitor to his country, the United States of America!!! Obama is working very hard to destroy the American Republic and most of its people!!!
Barry’s on to something.
Obama is doing all he can to accelerate this demographic changes. He is bringing in millions of refugees and migrants even though our existing citizens can’t find good quality jobs. In short, its all about creating a block of local, dependent voters vs. prosperity. And always has been.

What working class? You mean that 95 million out of work working class?
Merry Christmas
Why would he consider the single breadwinner factory jobs of the Eisenhower years to have been a white man’s “ bargain”??
God I still remember when we had real journalists who pursued crap like this instead of nodding and writing
