re: Obama weighs in: This will get old really fast

This is the headline on CNN:

quote:

---

Obama 'fundamentally disagrees' with Trump's immigration order

---

This is the statement from Obama's spokesman:

quote:

---

"The President fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion," said Kevin Lewis, spokesman for the former president, in a statement.

---

Why is CNN lying?

quote:

---

But of course I know you know my point was that Obama campaigned against the evil wealthy; that he is and is financed by.

You may be right, but if Obama can't call out Trump's lack of qualifications, how can you (or any of us) do the same to Obama, Trump, etc?

---

Because Donald Trump isn't particularly unqualified, especially compared to people like George W Bush and Obama?

Trump lacks governmental experience and that's it. He's a pretty outstanding, educated human being otherwise. And most "experienced" politicians are lazy pieces of shite who don't really do anything anyway. As an example, Trump's high-level business negotiation experience grossly outweighs the fact that Obama spent 2 years in the senate and didn't really do anything noteworthy in the meantime. The narrative that you somehow have to be a politician to get people to do what you want is complete bullshite, and I can name 100 other things that the media used to frame Trump as "unqualified" that are irrelevant, too.

Obama is unqualified. Bush was unqualified. Trump is pretty damn qualified when you look at his body of work and elite education in negotiation, economics, finance, civics, etc.

Does that mean he'll be a great president? No. But Obama is by far the most unqualified president in the history of the USA so I don't think he should be throwing stones at someone like Trump. And for that matter, I don't think that a bunch of morons with gender studies degrees should be talking about economics and the future of our country's finances. Just saying. People these days don't know how or when to shut the frick up, and Obama piled on to that problem in a serious way

Mahatma Gandhi weighs in from the afterlife:
He fundementally disagreed with Obama's orders to kill Muslims by pushing a button from inside a conex in Nevada.

There was an unwritten rule about a president elect not actively trying to undermine the current president as well.

Dare I even ask, what you're referencing here?

I'm glad he disagrees. Means Trump is doing something right.

Is that what you think a community organizer is? Someone who bosses around members of their community?

I figured it was a member of the community who organizes other members for impactful, positive change.

This of course isn't an endorsement of Obama. I don't have a clue what he accomplished as a so-called community organizer.

I hope somebody actually calls him out on this early, or this will be the pattern.

Well buckle up, because this WILL be common place. Many in the media will run to Obama to get his opinion on everything Trump does. Millions don't want to accept the fact that Trump IS the President. They will ask every day "WWOD?"

HRC will also be begged by the press to play armchair QB so the media can proudly shout, "see you idiots. This is what could be happening if you would have just elected her!" HRC will be the backup QB who could never hack it in the league telling us how bad the starting QB is.

I love how they try to paint it as if he's been exercising such wonderful discretion for the past TEN DAYS:

quote:
This is first time Obama, who ceded power to Trump 10 days ago, has criticized the current president, breaking with an unwritten rule that former presidents refrain from criticizing the current White House occupant.

Exactly, its standard MO for ex president to STFO about sitting Presidents, Oh but Jug ears will get special treatment of course cause he black and all.
