Obama's Hilarious Response to Donald Trump

The most hilarious part of this birth certificate fiasco is that Obama called a press conference to announce that he has more important things to do. He said he has no time for "side-shows" and "carnival" acts. Immediately after the press conference he appeared on the Oprah show (biggest side-show and carnival act on television), then to New York City for a fund raiser at $35,000 per seat (a more expensive side-show and carnival act). This after 340 (as of 6:00 AM May 2, 2011) people in the US were killed by tornadoes, and 8 more killed in Afghanistan by a US trained policeman from Afghanistan. While wild fires burn half of Texas. While US military is active in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan. While the economy is tanking. Yes he has more important things to do. He has no competence to be the US head of government. He does well as the US Head of State at meaningless dinners and TV appearances. He is all form no substance. He is all smoke and mirrors, a typical Harvard creation, no common sense.

What's your point? What have his engagements got to compare with hating remarks and all out lies? What's that stupid lie to achieve other than to confuse the already far too ignorant US public. I am no fan of the Opera show and other such soft tv shows, but i will put up with Mr. President hosting one of such mindless shows than have such trifles and untruths and malicious nonsense being introduced into serious discuss. Quite appalling if you ask me. Mr. Trump just made a fool of himself and did a big diservice to his party and whatever misplaced ambitions he has.

I hate to break it to you, but there's three signigfigant flaws in your statement.

1. Biggest Carnival= Jersey Shore

2. Obama went to Mississippi immidiately after the disaster

3. If anyone was all form no susbstance, it's bush; in his entire time in office he could't bring Bin Laden to justice. In fact he sent Bin Laden Dialysis packs to keep him alive. Obama got it done in one term. Anti Censorship and Deception Union my ass.

Gentle Anonymous Reader, You are correct, it is your ass that is the Anti Censorship and Deception Union. Yours is notably bigger than mine. The reality is funnier than I suggested. You are respectfully entitled to your own set of facts. Whatever you say is true. Here is a link to the facts that one journalist brings to the discussion.

[From article]
"Wednesday he and wife Michelle fly to Chicago on Air Force One. They will be there for three hours. The sole purpose: to tape an Oprah show. Obama will then fly to New York City. The sole purpose: a fundraiser, three, in fact.
Air Force One costs the government $181,000 an hour to operate."

Sorry to learn that you still suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome. By now we all know it is all Bush's fault.

@Serenity Thanks for your thoughtful focus on hatred. Do you follow US politics from your home base in Nigeria, or are you in US on a visa? Gentle reader, Serenity, you do not support the US Constitution, or Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. You serve a higher, holier power. Why do you equate criticism by an ordinary US citizen of a lying, crooked, self serving, greedy politician with hatred? Will your concern about hatred, a human emotion, motivate you to end the killing of Christian infidels by Muslim holy men in Nigeria? Do your countrymen's thefts of American's money with their internet scams meet your definition of hatred too?

Serenity said...

@Diogenes, Hate is probably too strong a term to use in the Trump context. I concede that.
Your ref to article 19 can't surely be in defence of lies. Libel and slander laws also respect article 19. But I get your point, it's a free world. Mr trump is allowed to freely express his unfounded doubts about Mr President.
To answer your other questions:

No I do not reside in the USA nor have I ever visited the USA.

It is far beyond my powers to end the killing of "Christian infidels by Muslim holy men in Nigeria" even if we may all be correct in labelling them hate crimes. I wouldn't call Internet scams hate crimes.

I don't understand your ref to these but i am prepared to let you off - see it as a gesture in honour of article 19. Lol

Lies are protected speech in the USA except for defamation, or criminal harassment. It is a crime for public officials to lie in some jurisdictions; lying to the FBI or the police may be a crime, and lying under oath is a crime. It is legal to lie about public officials. Most of all it is legal to hate.
