Follow this guy's Twitter (Kevin Lewis - Obama's spokesman) and you will find many lies, lies and propaganda...

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.
Sure, but if Obama or Bush or whomever can't criticize Trump's qualifications, because they were less qualified, how can you criticize their qualifications? Aren't you doing the same thing that you're criticizing?

I would expect Obama to fundamentally disagree with just about every one of Trump's policies. Obama wanted to fundamentally transform America and trump wants to make America great again. They are polar opposites.

When exactly did I say that he can't, just out of curiosity? Am I the FCC? Do I have any control over that? I said that he "probably shouldn't" because doing so makes him sound like the dumbass that he is. You CAN go to the lower 9th ward and yell the N word as loud as you can for the next 2 hours, but you probably shouldn't. Does that example clarify the difference between those two words for you?

If you need to make shite up to have an argument, then you should probably reevaluate your leftist political stances. Just throwing that out there.

What a liar. Obama is predictably low rent.

Actually, Trump ignoring him would be the best strategy. Spicer should not respond to any inquiries and neither should Trump.


Agree...

but that doesn't really sound like Trump does it?

"Can't" was the wrong word; my apologies. But based on this:
quote:

The fact that a one-term senator/lifetime community organizer would call Donald Trump unqualified will never cease to amaze me.
You imply, he has no standing in judging Trump's qualifications because he was less qualified himself. Fair enough, but then you say:
quote:

Obama is unqualified. Bush was unqualified.
So wouldn't you (and I and pretty much everyone) lack the standing to judge their qualifications since we're all Lilley less qualified ourselves? Seems inconsistent, but frankly while I think Trump's experience gives him some valuable qualifications, I don't think one has to be equally qualified to judge a person's competency.

I mean I can tell Nick Saban is a better coach than Les Miles, despite Miles being way more competent and qualified than myself.

I guess it's just a pet-peeve that I see in sports and politics.

Meh. I get my criticism of Trump probably makes me seem left, and in some cases this is true, but in some cases the opposite is true (trade).

Has anybody pointed out the name of the writer get?

Seems ironic, given the article.

And as somebody did point out earlier, the title is a but deceiving, as it seems to overstate Obama's criticism.

We had to listen to him apologize for America for 8 years. He needs to stick to golf and leave leading the country to adults.

Nothing, until someone uses it as a sole qualification to be POTUS.

Tomorrow morning, Trump should get up and tweet "Elections have consequences."

Why is it that liberal ex presidents feel they need to criticize sitting conservative ones but yet Reagan, Bush 1 and Bush 2 both kept their mouths shut and respected the fact that it is a tough enough job to do without the former president providing analysis on your every decision? Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and now Obama have all been politically active post- presidency and all have criticized their successors.

Hoping he would pull a Dubya was a fricking pipe dream.
