In fact, the article seemed to side with Mr. Obama, not Trump.

Really? Trump's poll numbers have fallen sharply.
Trump supporters have an amazing capacity to manufacture an alternate reality they want to see.

President Obama Criticizes G.O.P. Field, Particularly Donald Trump. That was the headlines of the N.Y.T.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/17/us...ald-trump.html

Not the first either.

Obama blasts Donald Trump, Republican presidential candidates - Washington Times
Both articles are from February.

Where in that speech did he attack the GOP?
From the new speech:

Though he did not mention Trump by name, Obama lambasted his proposals to ban all Muslims from immigrating to the United States and challenged Republican leaders to reject his demagoguery.

Funny you guys only want details when it's not your guy but the one you oppose.

And many of them have sided with Obama and did just that, or they refused to comment.

He looked like he was responding like a child. Trump has said we have people that are acting like babies. He has a point there it seems as he is getting some agreement.

Remember Obama the guy that received the Nobel Peace Prize. Maybe we should have the Nobel Appeasement Prize. He could win that with little criticism.
Trump sets the agenda everyday. That's how he won the nomination. When you are responding, you are losing.

OMG, you got to be freaking kidding. Won't don't you listen to Obama instead of cooing over him? Go back and listen to all his previous speeches and you'll see he can't even get 3-4 minutes in and he's already attacking republicans.

I've started a policy along time ago, the minute Obama starts attacking republicans I shut the TV off. Needless to say, I never get to hear much of him.

Obama is full of hate for anyone who doesn't agree with him no matter what he says or does, Hate for anyone who does' t coo and aww over his existance.

The ones that do get little mention because the MSM want to feed people like mushrooms and keep them in the dark. It works all to well and we need to change that. Here is my contribution.

But Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), a member of the Homeland Security Committee, took issue with Obama in a written statement. “You’re wrong,” he said. “Telling the truth about violent Islam is a prerequisite to a strategy — a strategy you admitted you don’t have. It is the Commander-in-Chief’s duty to actually identify our enemies and to help the American people understand the challenge of violent Islam.”



Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that Obama “still doesn’t have a plan to defeat ISIS. The White House’s inaction and ineptness allowed these radical Islamist terrorists to spread across Syria, Iraq and Libya."

Here is a comment from another time also. I include it as the three different occasions set a pattern.

The president didn’t spare the other GOP presidential candidates from criticism, although Mr. Trump was the only one he mentioned by name. He criticized Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, for abandoning the immigration reform bill he once supported.

Thank you for your support !!!!
