Well, Obama thought a community organizer was. He'd never done 1/10 of what Trump's done including internationally when he was the green pea. Obama had done exactly NOTHING when he became POTUS and it's showed embarrassingly for 7+ years.

Cheers.

You sure sounds like a sore loser. ....twice. I hope you don't get ulcers or an aneurism when Sanders becomes president.

the American people are too "sensible" to elect him.

Boy is that rich or what? They elected Obama.

Obama has been a rather good prez. As the man says, it's a tough job, with tough decisions. Can you imagine the always-angry flip-flopper Trump as prez? He'd be firing people every day. He'd be shouting down foreign leaders with his standard, "That's the biggest lie!" "You're the biggest liar in the world!" "You're a loser!" "Your breath smells awful!" He'll make Mussolini or Kruschev look like prim and proper schoolboys. Trump is already the laughing stock of the world. Imagine how much worse he'll look if prez. He'll need a new VP and secretary every week, as he's so enamored of shouting 'you're fired!'

I don't much like Trump, but I'd prefer him to that christian fundamentalist Ted Cruz. He's a f#%# lunatic !

As f#%# lunatic as they both are, I think Rubio is even more f#%# lunatic.

I can't remember any sitting President ever interfering in an opposition party primary as Obama has done.

General election certainly, but not the primaries.

Obama needs to worry about fixing his legacy, Obamacare, during the last few months of his reign. Maybe he can stop the death spiral.

Let the DNC worry about the Republican primary.

Interfering? Fixing his legacy? Worry? Jesus wept, it's Donald Trump, the xenophobic buffoon leading the Republican race. How do you not talk about him? Besides it probably helped him having Obama mention him. I hope it did. He's a terrible candidate with very narrow appeal even among the wingnuts.

You do remember who was President before Obama? That was someone whose legacy is unfixable, yet there he is on the stump for his brother. I can't remember that happening before, if you want some outrage.

Obama will be remembered as one of our greatest Presidents. Considering what he has had to put up with from an opposition that constantly lied and was dedicated to stopping him from accomplishing anything, he is the best President. The first black President, he's an inspiration.

On the other hand there is Donald Trump, an embarrassment for all of America. All these worthless Republican candidates are as well. They're pathetic.

The only thing in a death spiral is the Republican party with Donald Trump leading the lemmings off a cliff.

Democrats should start the party. It will never be close. There is an excellent chance of taking the Senate along with the Presidency.

This one deserves three...

I never understand why the election process is such a drawn out afair. In Canada if they call a election it usually over in a month.

That is because the rest of the year is too cold to leave the house.

I never understand why the election process is such a drawn out afair. In Canada if they call a election it usually over in a month. As one that lived north of the border of the US it gets tiresome having to listen to for a year. Maybe it's big money or tv.ratings I don't know bUT I think they need over haul their whole process.

It is too long, but you can't really compare it to Canada, a country with about 11% of the US population.

Obama had 'done' exactly nothing when he became POTUS? Define nothing. In the interim here's a Cliff Notes recap: Prior to becoming President, Obama served four years in the U.S. Senate. Before that, he was a state senator for eight years. As a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School Obama taught Constitutional Law - Equal Protection and Substantive Due Process. Prior to that he graduated from Columbia University. Then after a stint as a finserv analyst he became a community organizer in Chicago before going to Harvard Law School. At Harvard he became the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.

Out of all that all you see is 'community organizer'. How Sarah Palin of you - birds of a feather.

Thank you! Finally! I have repeated throughout these forums that Obama may be many things but he is not stupid/inexperienced. People like Trump and others repeatedly parody Obama as some buffoon, stumbling his way through bad decisions, with terrible results- one after another, year after year. As your chronology suggests, if accurate, there is great deliberation and determination in a trajectory like Obama's past. Certainly, such a sterling and ascendant rise could not possibly result in 7 years of mistakes of a dolt, an amateur, a novice.

It totally supports my position that one has to be intent on destroying a nation to have every single policy go bad, every effort blowback or empower jihad, every real index depreciate and bottom out, or produce adverse consequence to America,. No fool could stumble around in policy and get everything wrong; not like this. Sooner or later, statistically even, an idiot would get things right. No so Obama, every single thing results in a debasement of culture and disassembly of all things America. With such exacting outcomes and, by his own admission, nothing he regrets, Obama clearly is not the stumbling oaf without resume, he is tireless in pursuing every outcome we note. Clearly Obama has done a great deal before and after becoming president.

Obama is proof of the capacity of humans to assemble anything they set their sights on, even when the goal is disassembly.

This is the entire American elite, the establishment SCARED to death they are going to lose control. Trump has taken on all the sacred cows in both parties and in the media, and they are all slobbering in fear and malice. This IS the revolution.

If you are right, and this is the revolution, Eliot was right- it ends with a "whimper."

It is finally dawning on me just how terrified liberals ( small l ) are of the Donald. If they didn't think he was actually a serious contender they wouldn't be flooding the airwaves with zillions of articles and comments on just how bad he is, when he hasn't ever been in a political position before. At least with Obama and HRC we can all see just how pants they are/ were at their jobs. If Obama were actually as great as some say, there would be not a single dissenting opinion on here.

Before contending that not being a politician before disqualifies Trump, it is worth noting that Obama did nothing of note while he was one, and not being a politician is probably a good qualification given how beholden politicians in the US are to the lobbyists.

I don't get how being "black" ( he's only 1/2 black and was raised as a white boy by a white mother ) is inspirational. Either he is inspirational or he's not. If being "black" were a qualification, Al Sharpton would likely be president,

It really must be frustrating living in a country where millions and millions of people want to elect someone that one personally doesn't agree with- gee, sometimes "democracy" is a bummer.

dedicated to stopping him from accomplishing anything

For someone that was stopped from accomplishing anything he managed to do a lot. If he hadn't, how could anyone say he will be remembered as a great president.

In fact, as a president that had a majority in both houses he has accomplished very little. Clinton did well in the same situation, but Bill was a realist and compromised, unlike the one of the pen and the phone.

yet there he is on the stump for his brother.

No dissention there from me. The only person that I can think of that would be worse for the world than HRC as president would be another Bush. The fact that he invited the "mission accomplished, stayed at home during Vietnam" foot in mouth loser to campaign for him shows how desperate and idiotic the would be Bush 3 is.

It is finally dawning on me just how terrified liberals ( small l ) are of the Donald. If they didn't think he was actually a serious contender they wouldn't be flooding the airwaves with zillions of a

I think it's more of a case of him coming out with a mountain of crap and the press reporting every word. He gets far more column inches than any other candidate.

Then you just sit and laugh.

I don't know what's actually funnier, the vacuous rubbish he keeps repeating or the fact that so many Republicans actually can't see through it.

At first I thought you just supported Obama, but on reflection you are pointing out what some have realised, that Obama had a real desire to "change" America, and not to something that any proud American would willingly accept.

While he appeared to be merely "bad" at his job, he was actually brilliant at carrying out his agenda. As he has not yet "mission accomplished" he desperately needs HRC ( Obama 2 ) to be elected to complete the task, and is therefore involving himself in the GOP primaries. He can only be doing so because he is being told by clever people that Trump is a likely victor. After all, if Trump had no chance, he wouldn't bother.

It's interesting though, that Trump is such a threat to the GOP establishment, that they too are trying to destroy Trump as a likely contender. Obama and the GOP working together 55555555555

The man has been able to get a liberal biased media to give him more free publicity than any other candidate ( probably ) in history, and people call him stupid! The man is a genius.

It's a fact that they haven't been able to find a single smoking gun, other than stupid BS like diet coke, being married 3 times ( they were even so desperate to scorn him they dredged up his divorce records. Unfortunately for them Ivana supports Trump ) and wanting to date his daughter. Even more unfortunately for them, there probably isn't a heterosexual man in the entire world wouldn't want to, so that didn't work either.

Even Clinton, a man most people remember with favour, had more skeletons in the closet than does Trump.

Scorn the Donald if you must, but he probably represents what most male Americans would regard as the American dream writ large. Mega rich, on tv a lot, and lives with beautiful women.

Hey 131 each and every POTUS is also the leader of his/her political party. You haven't noticed all Republicans in Washington hate him? All rightwhingers puke at the thought of him. That is based on the fact Barack Obama is a Democrat, POTUS and among other hats he wears is one that he automatically gets as leader of his political party.

Sometimes every POTUS speaks as chief judicial officer, sometimes as commander in chief, sometimes as chief diplomatic officer, other times as chief overall executive, and other times as the chief enforcer of the laws; yet other times as chief of state.

Because every POTUS is also active leader of his/her political party there is nothing extraordinary about his Trump comments. In fact President Obama was speaking about Trump from his experience over the past seven years as POTUS. Or maybe you didn't listen.

"Obama also appeared to raise the question of whether Trump was prepared to be commander-in-chief."

Well, now that he has insulted the Pope after the Pope said he wasn't a Christian that might help expedite his exit.

Trump 0, Pope 1, Obama 1, Clinton 1, Republican Party -10.

While the Teflon Don remains the hero among Republicans and other whingers this is yet another turnoff against Trump to Hispanic and Latino voters. This is so due to Latinos' religious piety and the fact the pope is a native speaker of Spanish from Argentina. That Francis is the first pope from the Americas gives him a certain appeal throughout the region as well as a pope having an inherent broader appeal globally.

The pope siding with Mexicans and Hispanics against Donald Trump further seals the miserable electoral fate of the Republican nominee for potus come election day November 8th. Hasta lavista to the Republicans and all the other rightwhingers on the ballots in the 50 states.

Really don't think for a moment Americans throughout the land want to see their potus arguing with the pope too. Is the wall builder and Muslim ban man prezident Trump gonna deny the pope a visa next time or what.

Saw him drop the F bomb at a crowded rally of his and he did it just as casually as one might while out golfing with a few buddies.. "Mere mortal" politicians would have been permanently burned down if they had uttered 1/10th of what Trump has. If he is still in the catbirds seat after Super Tuesday, then I know I am officially in Bizarro World.

Now Trump is telling the Pope how to think: He tells the Pope that when ISIS is charging at the Vatican, the Pope will sorely wish Trump was POTUS - so Donald can build a gargantuan wall around the Vatican and make ISIS pay for it.

This is better than any reality show where Donald purses his lips and shouts, 'You're fired' .....or a Republican debate where Trump continually interupts the other speakers and shouts, "He's the biggest liar in the world!" Trump is redefining American politics: he's bringing it down to the level of a Jr. high school locker room brawl where the guy who shouts the loudest wins, and everyone else is 'A LOSER!'

An apt description of Trump.

Trump, in a recent interview: When the interviewer mentioned how Trump had filed for bankruptcy at least 4 times, Trump kept interrupting and saying "Not true. You're a liar. I have never personally declared bankruptcy. Those were businesses."

Interviewer: But you were running those businesses, weren't you?
