The more I see of this man, the more I like him !

[Old_Geezer]

Trump has that affect on folk.

[mikey4444]

lol OG !

I had no idea the US president had the power to select his successor. Odd "democracy" they must have.

[-SharonA-]

I've always liked him and just wish he was here instead of Cameron! :-(

[mikey4444]

I presume you have listened to the clip TTT.......just what is wrong with what he has said ?

Obama seems to speaking common sense here, in his normal urbane and calm manner..... why can't he comment on his successor ?

[Old_Geezer]

Potential successor. Obama is expressing a hope, presumably a genuine opinion too. Time will tell who the US opts for.

[Jackdaw33]

...because it's infra dig, Mikey.

[mikey4444]

OG...I sincerely hope, for the planets sake, that it is not Trump, I really do.

Does anybody trust this awful with his finger on the nuclear button, for instance ?

[ToraToraTora]

no mikey I was going on the statement in your post, seems pretty definite to me.

Mind, it's looking increasingly possible that Hilary Clinton won't be either. The Sanders train rolls on -- look out to see how he does in the Nevada, where he seems to be on level pegging with Clinton, and he's narrowing the poll gap nationally as well. Trump v. Sanders remains very much a possibility for the election proper...

Just as Corbyn the back bencher seems to ba a different animal from Corbyn the Labour leader, so you will find, if he be elected, that Trump the contender will be a different animal to Trump the President.

No chance that the president had a dream involving grassy knolls and magic bullets then?

I was wandering around the Politics section of Huffington Post last night, and found this amazing piece.

Apparently 31% of Trump supporters want gays banned from entering the U.S.

Not sure how they're going to manage that, unless visa application forms are to be amended with a Barbara Streisand multiple choice section...

[bazwillrun]

Luckily barracking oblama will be gone soon , so we wont have to listen to him either...

[mikey4444]

Sp...the kind of things that 31% of Trump supporters want doesn't surprise me in the east !

He is carefully gone after the nitwit vote, and along with them, he has hauled in the ignorant and bigoted as well. If you asked them if they believed that the Grand Canyon was 6000 years old, and if they had been abducted by aliens, I expect you get a similar percentage.

But, like Obama, I too have a lot of faith in the American people, and its my opinion that there just isn't enough stupid people in America to get him elected.

[youngmafbog]

He has gone after the nit wit vote. Ah those many voters who you disagree with then?

Trump wont get to be President most likely it will end up Bush/Clinton in the race.

[ToraToraTora]

YMB it is well known that those without the "correct" view on any given subject must be in some way mentally ill.

[viv41]

I like Obama, but I also like Trump and wish him well ...

[Svejk]

I'll throw Blomberg into the mix. (if he stands)

Sorry...but if you want to ban gay people from entering the US, you are a nitwit.

In fact, nitwit is a pretty kind word in the circumstances.
