Obama goes after the Donald

President [but not for long] Obama accused Donald Trump of using the administration's messed up economy and job growth to scare and frustrate those of us who already were and still are. Mustering more emotion on this topic than all the emotion he showed on San Bernadino, Paris, ISIS and all Islamic terrorist attacks, he gave the most direct criticism so far, to the Donald.

This can only mean one thing: the Democrats are worried.

Mr. Obama spoke on NPR radio, the taxpayer-funded radio station that overtly supports the Democratic party, but although that is illegal, nothing will be done about it because Congress lost it's testicular fortitude long ago.

And the media wonders why Trump is doing so well?

The president spoke on NPR as he began his highly expensive and lavish Hawaiian vacation. I believe the entire family flew on the same aircraft this time and will boast about how that is saving the environment, unlike the Paris agreement designed to save the world in spite of emitting about 300,000 tons of CO2, according to Wired.com

Obama said "particularly blue-collar men have had a lot of trouble in this new economy, where they are no longer getting the same bargain that they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a single paycheck, you combine those things and it means that there is going to be potential anger, frustration, fear.

"Some of it justified but just misdirected," said the man who has never taken the blame for his incompetence as president. "I think somebody like Mr. Trump is taking advantage of that. That's what he's exploiting during the course of his campaign."

Much like Jonathan Gruber said he was exploiting the stupidity of the American voter when it came to Obamacare.

When asked to expand on his claims and talk about the concerns of those who believe Obama is trying to make unwelcome changes, the Divider in Chief got into a contentious exchange with Steve Inskeep of NPR that discussed the issue of .  .  .  wait for it .  .  .  race!

Big surprise.

This provided Obama with a perfect opportunity where he suggested there are "certain circumstance around being the first African-American president that might not have confronted a previous president," then pointing out about "specific strains in the Republican Party that suggest that somehow I'm different, I'm Muslim, I'm disloyal to the country, etc., which unfortunately is pretty far out there and gets some traction in certain pockets of the Republican Party." 

He quickly added: "But that's not to suggest that everybody who objects to my policies may not have perfectly good reasons for it."

It's good to know that we are allowed to disagree with him without being labelled a racist. 

He then pretended that the government isn't telling us about "the work we've been doing for more than a year now to defeat ISIL," as he then bragged about the 9,000 airstrikes we've carried out in over a year. That's like a piddle in the pool: 9,000 is nothing, especially when the rules of engagement are so strict. Over 75% of the sorties return with their ordnance load.

I may or may not vote for Donald Trump, but I certainly enjoy his lack of self-censorship. He says what he's thinking--not always the smart thing to do, but at least we know where he stands.

Some of his ideas are ludicrous, like not allowing Muslims into the country. It's not only unfeasible, it's unconstitutional. 

You can't complain about Obama circumventing the Constitution and be okay with Donald Trump wanting to do the same thing. But at least he's changed his tune on that somewhat.

Tremendous.
