Obama: I Had Bigger Rallies Than Trump
Newsmax ^ | Mar 14, 2016 | Cathy Burke

President Barack Obama says Donald Trump's rallies pale in comparison to the crowds his own drew — including a Missouri event that drew 100,000 — during his first run for the White House.

"Sometimes you hear folks say, 'oh, that rally is big,'" Obama said at a Democratic gathering in Texas last Saturday....

SNIP

"I say, I don't know. We had some pretty big rallies. In 2008, we had rallies with 50,000, 80,000, 100,000 people. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying we had some big rallies," he said, the Examiner reports.

"I'm just saying."

That’s true, but most of Trumps supporters were AT WORK at their second, or third, part-time jobs.

That’s because Mr Hussein was campaigning as an exotic ‘Magic Negro’ wonderboy who was going to heal the earth with his mere presence and speeches. People weren’t drawn to him for substance, and the proof is the size of his crowds in 2012.

Maybe but the number of Trump rallies...they seem almost a daily occurrence.

That tends to happen when your supporters don’t have to take time off work to attend . . .

Obviously he’s very jealous of Trump.

Yep...and when Trump is President...he’ll probably complain “bigger” about your past failure of an administration than you did about Bush.

He’s probably right, never mind the fact that it was easy for his supporters to show up at his rallies back in 2008 because most of them didn’t have a job, aside from cashing a welfare check.

When you’re giving away free stuff, it doesn’t take much to draw a huge crowd. Shut up Obonzo. You’re a clown and the worst president this country has ever seen.

No one listens to lame ducks except elements of the media.

Ignore the irrelevant one.

Sad being the other keyword.

What a whineyboy. Half of his rally attendees were bused in and compensated, in some way.

Two things:

1. Newsmax is distorting his comment. He did not say "bigger", he said "big".

2.

This shows a massive crowd of around 80,000 he drew in Portland, O-ray-gone in 2008. Has Trump had a crowd that big yet?

“President Trump will have to raze the White Hut and put up a White Trump Tower.”

No, I don’t think that President Trump will raze the White House, but I’m sure he will have to fumigate it. I’ve read, shortly after Obama and Moochell moved into the White House,that they don’t believe in pest control, and one of the former kitchen staff, I believe it was, made the comment that they had NEVER SEEN SO MANY CREEPING, CRAWLING things ever in the White House. I believe that from some pictures of Obama with flies crawling on him.

He says he’s not leaving DC; until that youngest daughter finishes school. Pray she isn’t going to be a doctor.
