Obama Says Trump ‘Obviously’ Doesn’t Share His Vision of America
The Atlantic ^ | November 20, 2018

The former president told David Axelrod that America is more divided than ever, but that it doesn’t have to be that way.

CHICAGO—Barack Obama refused to answer directly when asked whether he could beat Donald Trump in a head-to-head race, but he said on Tuesday that he believes his vision of America is already more in touch with most Americans, and will win out in the end.

However, the man who burst onto the national political scene with his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech declaring that there’s no red or blue America agreed with his old political consultant David Axelrod that America is redder and bluer than ever.

But it doesn’t have to be this way, Obama said in a live interview for Axelrod’s Axe Files podcast, recorded at the University of Chicago. It’s just that he and President Trump “have contrasting visions of what America is, and that’s self-apparent.”

Don’t go away mad, Barry.

Just go away.

Nobody likes you if you can’t hand out other people’s money.

You’re as interesting as gravel and half as smart.

Yes, Trump cares about the fate of americas citizens, and does not view them as cogs in a massive get rich quick scheme

“...he believes his vision of America is already more in touch with most Americans...”

Obviously delusional! He neither knows nor cares what the people of America feel, rather his only concern is for HIS vision (and those who control him).

What a freakin’ egomaniac. The man is twisted tighter than a two-dollar watch. He needs a padded room.

There are some individuals that are so debased that their comments are not worthy of a response.
A blessed Thanksgiving to all!

Only 35% of his voters shared his vision, the rest just tried to prove they weren’t racists by voting for him.

Please, President Trump:

Release those sealed indictments and arrest/prosecute/imprison Obama. Sooner rather than later.

Freeze his passport & put him & all the others in those indictments onto the NO FLY LIST.
