Washington – In his first remarks about Donald Trump’s presumptive nominee status, President Barack Obama has a message for the media: “This is not entertainment. This is not a reality show.”

Obama is urging reporters to take Trump seriously and vet him thoroughly. At a brief news conference at the White House on Friday, Obama told reporters to scrutinize the candidates closely, to fact check their policies and to hold them to their past statements.
He says, “emphasizing the spectacle and the circus, that’s not something we can afford.”
Obama says if reporters do their job and people are well informed “I’m confident our democracy will work.”
Asked about Trump’s taco bowl tweet Thursday saying “I love Hispanics,” Obama said he wouldn’t comment on Trump’s twitter feed.
right bec. the media “vetted” a man whose father was an illegal immigrant polygamous Muslim and who himself considered America haters jeremiah wright and bill ayers his idols.
Do you all remember Obama’s campaign promise about being transparent? How’d that one work out for you? What a joke of a president he was. Trump will be gold compared to him.
Candidate Obama was thoroughly vetted by the Media. They read his two books.
To this day nothing is known about him besides that.
Give him the microphones, folks. He is talking himself into the the archives of the severely intellectually and morally challenged.
This delusional egomaniac doesn’t realize how oath ethic he sounds, admonishing someone else, while his presidency has been the biggest failure in US history, he has made us a weak laughingstock in the eyes of the world… He’s just terrified that with president Trump, we will become the respected and feared nation we once were, no thanks to him.
“Obama is urging reporters to take Trump seriously and vet him thoroughly.” This president of ours has never looked into a mirror!
Obama will likely go down in history as the first black US president, with no notes on how ridiculous his policies were. That’s kind of sad.
Guess what? It’s because of Obama that people want to vote for Trump. Trump might be somewhat crazy but he’s not stupid. And he certainly will make America a better country than Obama has.
