Obama goes on "rant" about Donald Trump's populism
CBS News ^ | June 29, 2016 | Rebecca Shabad

President Obama went off on his own rant Wednesday at a trilateral press conference in which he disputed the idea that Donald Trump is a populist and that the presumptive GOP nominee instead promotes "nativism" or "xenophobia."

After reporters asked a series of questions of Mr. Obama, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Mr. Obama decided he had something else to say in Ottawa -- he addressed the common theme of populism raised during the event.

"I'm not prepared to concede the notion that some of the rhetoric that's been popping up is populist," Mr. Obama said, referring to Trump.

During the press conference, Mr. Obama also addressed Trump’s comments Tuesday in which he talked about withdrawing from trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) or the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

“The prescription of withdrawing from trade deals and focusing solely on your local market, that’s the wrong medicine. It’s not feasible,” Mr. Obama said.

0bama has ALWAYS ranted like a lunatic.

I remember just a few days ago the media had their panties in a wad because Trump, while in Scotland, had something negative about 0bama. Well, Canada is a foreign country, and now 0bama is involving himself in the campaign, where is the media outrage about this pissy little man’s rant.

Trump will be like tossing a bulldog into a room full of lap-cats. Then someone turns the lights out.
I can hardly wait!

The primary question is: What investment does Barack Obama have in this election?
What backroom “deals” hinge on this election?

Otherwise, he shouldn’t give a rip.

It’s as if Obama himself is running against Donald Trump.
That’s extremely strange.
There’s more to this than meets the eye, folks.
Just sayin’.....

Nearly 8 years in the job and his ego is still eggshell thin.

He simply cannot stand to see someone else in the spotlight.

Dear Hussein,

Islamism is NOT equal to populism in the West.

I saw his rant and he looked like a fool without his TelePrompTer. He couldn’t complete a sentence without himming and hawwing. The Crowned Prince of Canada was more impressive and he was speaking French.

Trump: “OK, we’re not populist. We just got most of the votes...”

If Hillary had this in the bag you ignore Trump like the plague until the end. The fact the president has hit him hard before July 1st means Trump has them VERY worried!

Mr. Trump would like to thank the president for these numerous free advertising spots. Keep going Mr. President, keep talking around to world how scared you are of a Trump-Zilla Nation.

Was that a typical Dorkbama third grade level rant (with teleprompter) or a stuttering cretin level rant (without teleprompter)?

Typical classless Obama whining and moaning about Trump and the presidential campaign while in a foreign country. And he really has no business constantly blathering about it even in the US.
