Obama calms his supporters and reminds them of the democratic right to political disagreement. Trump calls his own supporters thugs and his followers beat down fellow Republicans who dare disagree with Der Fuhrer.

The unbrainwashed see Obama for what he really is. I'm surprised he took time off from playing golf to make a speech.
Tell us what he is. Do you still think he`s a secret Muslim born in Kenya and the media continues to cover it up? In any event, blacks are allowed on golf courses these days, even in the old traitor slave states.

We haven't had any true journalists for a long time - a real journalist would have called Trump on his lies and his neo-fascist rants long ago. All we have are a bunch of wishy-washy, any infotainment dollar is a GOOD dollar, talking heads.
Can't rep you again but I agree with your
post, the media has been very easy on Trump .
The whole election has been handled as a
realty/game show with us being the losers.

Nope, and I'm not for Trump. The thread was merged.

Cool. Thread merging is fine, the Mods here seem to do a good job of keeping the place afloat.

Not sure how you can lie about something that is recorded, and easy to see for oneself. Trump was wrong about the context and should correct that. Obama was condescending about the protester but that is ok, protesters know they will not be well received.

Trump could learn a thing or two on how to behave from Obama.

Im sure its not the only thing he has lied about but his petty lies don't compare to the lies that Hillary has told.


For instance, Hillary has threatened National Security with her lies. Trump has lied about the way the President reacted something...huge difference.


Imagine if people actually became educated on the candidates... Id love if the facts about the candidates were displayed without any affiliation to either candidate. Choose all of the facts that matter to you and you have your candidate.


Neither candidate is really a good decision. Both lie, both flip flop stories, etc. Its the magnitude of these lies, etc. that matter.

Of course these are lies as well. And what if people actually became educated? Like say, before a person has an opinion on anything they spend the time to source (like listen to the 11 hours of the Benghazi hearings, listen to the 6 hours of the comey hearings, etc). But they don't. Instead they just buy into whatever the media tells them to think. I agree that it's frustrating.

If we can't him to get this easy observation correct without lying, what can we expect with important responsibilities?
