With Clinton out sick, Obama goes after Trump

With Hillary Clinton sidelined by pneumonia, U.S. President Barack Obama took up the Democrats' fight against Donald Trump on Tuesday, trying to quash the Republican presidential candidate's bid to appeal to working-class voters.

Obama, whose 50 percent job approval rating could help improve the climate for the Democratic ticket in the Nov. 8 election, rallied party faithful against Trump, a 70-year-old New York real estate developer, at an outdoor event in Philadelphia.

"This is a guy who spent 70 years on this earth showing no concern for working people. He spent most of his life trying to stay far away from working people. He wasn't going to let you on his golf course," Obama said.

So like always, Hillary relies on a man to do the work for her.

Are we the taxpayers paying for this campaign trip Barky took? Rhetorical question.

Trump built the Mara Largo because the other place excluded blacks and Jews.

A rather large investment for a bigoted racist.

you guys are missing the point by being logical.

The point was to get something on TV for CNN, networks etc. CNN just had 10 minutes on BO’s speech and were visibly giddy about being about to talk about BO attack on DT.

They delayed the HT news and were able to then talk about how she is powering through her illness.

it is a massive game and they are all-in (poker style)

Why do we need a woman President?

Liberals tell us gender is just a social construct.

What difference does it make?

What if the woman identifies as a man?

Feminists will get pissed.

Nutburgers. They are all nutburgers.

SPOT ON...right you are; sadly.

OTOH, this can backfire on wee barry and depending on how well Trump does as president, it could be Obama's death knell, vis-a-vis his "legacy".

Mr. Trump has an I.Q. of 157, what is Barrys? When the housing market crashed, Mr. Trump owed 9.2 Billion with a B, to 99 banks. He now owns over 200 companies and employs thousands. the Wikipedia entry for The Trump Organization (does not include campaign staff): 22,450. How many people does Barry employ? What private sector job did Barry ever have, oh that is right Community rable rouser. They can find no dirt on Mr. Trump so they call him names. HEH HEH

With Hillary Clinton sidelined by pneumonia,

Reuters should stick to facts and not report unsupported claims. I, for one, have heard no credible source establish she has pneumonia. We have only her word and that of her people. While for most campaigns and candidates that would be good enough...she and her campaign have already brazenly lied multiple times about many issues including her health. Just taking her word on face value about an issue she has lied about already is ridiculous. I would suggest starting article:

With Hillary Clinton sidelined, allegedly by pneumonia,...

Watching “Special Report” right now, the three “geniuses” with Bret Baier say Hussein is Hitlery’s saviour.

Yes, here he is, staying far away from working people.

"This is a guy who spent 70 years on this earth showing no concern for working people. He spent most of his life trying to stay far away from working people. He wasn't going to let you on his golf course," Obama said.

That is three total lies in a row. Trump's dad had him working alongside the construction guys, and he has done the same with his kids when they were teenagers. He is very involved, supportive and affectionate with his workers and many, many have stepped forward to say so. And thirdly, Trump fought a legal battle back in the 80s with the town of Palm Beach to admit blacks and Jews to his recently-acquired Mar-a-Lago club. Obama, like all Democrats, simply lies.

I cannot recall ANY OTHER sitting president actively campaigning for a candidate. Seems illegal in some sense. It’s got to be cutting into his tee times on the golf course. However, I have my own idea about why Hussein will stump for the Beast, given that they undoubtably hate each other’s guts. If the Beast loses the election, she, in a fit of pique might turn around and tell all she knows about Hussein’s secrets that the country is not totally aware of . . . After all, if it wasn’t for Hussein, the Beast could have already been the president for the past eight years. He OWES her for that.

“Obama, whose 50 percent job approval rating...”

Horse-hockey. Obuma is sitting at 28% approval, just like George Bush at the end of his term. More than 70% of Americans polled say that the country is heading in the wrong direction. That doesn’t translate into 50% approval for President Buckwheat. It’s 28% or less, you filthy Nazi propagandists.
