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.

This is fake, but with Trump, maybe soon it will be real!

Setting the stage for Uncle Joe as they get ready to pull the rug from under Hillary by way of an indictment?

The primary question is: What investment does Barack Obama have in this election?

If Hillary becomes president, she probably won't make him turn over his private email server. He probably has a lot he needs to keep out of the spotlight, and she's the only one who will help him with that (well, Jeb probably would have let that slide).

Once in a great while, the Ventriloquist cannot wait to take his Dummies out of their boxes, and so he is compelled to do his own talking.

It would probably be easier to count the times Obama left the country and didn’t criticize America or Americans than the times he did.

The open borders and one worlders are having nightmares about The Donald. 100 years of plotting was taken out by BREXIT in GB and is likely to go the same way here for much the same reasons.

It really was the Three Stooges on that stage today, with Obammy being the black Curly, a mumbling, stumbling idiot.

Please see to it that we burn as many mexican flags as we possibly can in Cleveland ( the 3rd worst city in America— only behind Camden and Detroit). Also DO not rely on the Demorat police chief or mayor to protect you. Burn that crappy flag!!

Obama speaks fluent Bureaucratese, insincere Southern Black Preacher, and poorly syntaxed Ebonics.

Since when it is wrong for the natives of a country to want to keep it?
To have their laws enforced by their government and respected by foreigners?
