Obama unfit to be president, uses White House televised press conference to degrade the sanctity of US elections. Obama says he doesn't like undue influence in US elections via Citizens United, then does much worse than CU by giving millions in free tv air time against candidate Trump

8/2/16, "President Obama Uses Joint W.H. Press Conference To Launch 5 Minute Attack on Candidate Donald Trump," tcth, sundance

"President Obama held a joint press conference today with Prime Minister Lee of Singapore, the subject of the White House meeting was Obama’s controversial Trans-Pacific Trade deal.

However, breaking with all traditional political decorum, and using a seeded question from the press gallery, President Obama launched into a five minute tirade against republican presidential candidate Donald Trump:



Moments ago Donald Trump responded to President Obama via a Facebook post:

“Obama-Clinton have single-handedly destabilized the Middle East, handed Iraq, Libya and Syria to ISIS, and allowed our personnel to be slaughtered at Benghazi. Then they put Iran on the path to nuclear weapons. Then they allowed dozens of veterans to die waiting for medical care that never came.

Hillary Clinton put the whole country at risk with her illegal email server, deleted evidence of her crime, and lied repeatedly about her conduct which endangered us all. They released criminal aliens into our country who killed one innocent American after another — like Sarah Root and Kate Steinle — and have repeatedly admitted migrants later implicated in terrorism. They have produced the worst recovery since the Great Depression. They have shipped millions of our best jobs overseas to appease their global special interests. They have betrayed our security and our workers, and Hillary Clinton has proven herself unfit to serve in any government office.

She is reckless with her emails, reckless with regime change, and reckless with American lives. Our nation has been humiliated abroad and compromised by radical Islam brought onto our shores. We need change now.” –Donald J. Trump

Ed. note: August 1, 2016, US taxpayers find they're once again gratuitously bombing Libya at a cost of millions of dollars a day. As to TPP, Obama's own expert Michael Wessel freely states TPP will depress American wages and won't create jobs for those who need them: "“Companies are scouring the globe for countries they can get to produce most cheaply.” That, he said, results in constant downward pressure on American wages. “Companies are not invested here the way we’d like them to; they’re doing stock buybacks and higher dividends,” Wessel continued. “They may yield support for the stock-holding class but it’s not creating jobs.”"...10/9/2015, "Wikileaks release of TPP deal text stokes 'freedom of expression' fears," UK Guardian, Sam Thielman in NY

That video was incredible. He spends 5 minutes trashing trump and then defends his Libya disaster. They created a false situation and then used a coalition to go in and destroy that country for whatever nefarious reason they had. Tens of thousands of people have died because Obama was trying to save them? Life means nothing to Obama /Clinton and the globalist overlords."

I think the so-called ‘unprecedented’ attack on Mr Trump by the President at the joint White House press conference with the PM of Singapore is partly due to the fact that prior to this conference, the PM of Singapore gave a talk to the US CoC stating that if TPP is not passed it damages US ‘credibility’ in Asia. (Credibility is not Zero’s strong suit),

The Straits Times outlines the benefits to Singapore. Of course, this is one-sided and also underlines why we need Mr Trump in the WH to negotiate better trade deals."
