Obama crumbles in front of criticism: Trump is a lot tougher and harder

As Obama crumbles the country tumbles

Let’s face it. In addition to being a total jinx for the country, Obama does not like to be challenged and when he is he simply crumbles. He is his own worse jinx.

Trump on the other hand has demonstrated over and over again that no matter how many times he has been pummeled by cruel destiny he rises to turn his lemons into lemonade. Trump has demonstrated he understands economics and wealth building.

Obama on the other hand goes out of his way to pick lemons and force them on otherwise very successful people. His policies boil down to growing lemon tress in everyone’s back yard whether you like it or not. That is the new era of Obama-success along with his other successes like Obama-care, Obama-gas, Obama-unions, Obama-bankers, Obama-dollars etc. all lemon trees in the making.

At the end of this article you will find a video the only video we have seen of its kind. It is of a reporter, Brad Watson, who interviews Obama and actually challenges him on his lies. Obama ends the video by dressing down the reporter and telling him never to interrupt him. This video encapsulates the essence of Obama who crumbles at the least sign of trouble. Trump is definitely a lot tougher in every way.

Whereas The Donald is being attacked mercilessly by democrats and republicans alike he simply knows how to turn these attacks to his advantage. He is now number one as the favored Republican candidate. Richard Cohen of the Washington post just wrote an article entitled:” Donald Trump: The comeback huckster.” We site this article because it is so typical of Trump criticism and every point made in the article could be said about Obama but for some reason it is only applied to Trump. Perhaps there is such a double standard because the main stream press simply knows Obama could not withstand the same kind of scrutiny and criticism and they do not want their candidate to feel uncomfortable and crumble. Let’s look into some of Cohen’s criticisms of Trump.

Trump reads the forbidden

“Back in 1990, Ivana Trump told her divorce lawyer Michael Kennedy that “from time to time, her husband [Donald Trump] reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, ‘My New Order,’ which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.” This information, which comes from a startling 1990 Vanity Fair profile of Trump, certainly does not prove that he is anti-Semitic (a daughter recently converted to Judaism) and is cited here just because, as with so much about Trump, it makes no sense at all. It is just another grenade that comes rolling out of the profile…”

Can you imagine that Trump has an inquisitive mind and likes to read?  He has stated over and over again his support for Israel but no matter. Obama on the other hand who has claimed authorship for his first book “Dream of my Father” may indeed be stretching the truth since Bill Ayers a reformed terrorist now claims he wrote the book. Moving on.

Creating debt

“For whatever reason, Trump has risen to the top of potential Republican presidential favorites. Maybe this is on account of name recognition, maybe because the public likes his television manner (kind of a latter-day Mussolini) or maybe because people think the country needs a no-nonsense businessman to do the right thing. Trump knows how to fire people. He also knows how to get into debt.”

If we are going to call Trump a modern day Mussolini, then fair is fair. Obama is a modern day Stalin an avowed Marxist socialist who campaigned in Kenya with Marxist socialists, who hired Marxist socialists like Van Jones in the White House. You get the point. Trump does have one up on Obama. Both men have gotten into debt, but only Trump knows how to get out of it. Obama is drowning in it with no hope of coming out. Moving on.

The Trump ego

‘The Vanity Fair article, punctiliously reported over a period of months by Marie Brenner, captured Trump in all his flamboyant egocentrism. He refers to himself often in the third person. He is bombastic, sometimes cruel, utterly domineering and not in the least bit fastidious about the truth. He exaggerates his exaggerations, which is an occupational failing in the real estate business, where every building is 100 percent rented and all basements are dry.

“Donald is a believer in the big-lie theory,” his lawyer told Brenner. “If you say something over and over again, people will believe you.” Brenner refused to tell Trump (or us) the name of the lawyer, but she is a reporter of impeccable credentials and she did not write anything not already known. The shocker would be a statement that Trump always tells the truth.’

The above quote is truly amazing because every one of the criticisms fit Obama as if they were tailor made for him. Has everyone forgotten that Obama promised 8% unemployment if we let him spend a trillion dollars? Has everyone forgotten that insurance premiums would go down by $2500 if Obama-care passed? Did you catch the latest Obama untruth when he implied that he remembered what it was like to pump gas when presumably he worked as a gas station attendant?  Implying  Trump is a believer in the big lie theory, we suppose ignores the fact that Obama keeps saying that we are in recovery over and over again when the entire economy is collapsing. The dollar is collapsing. Real estate is collapsing. Employment is collapsing. Tax revenues are collapsing. Presumably Obama is also a big fan of the big lie theory.

Trump lies, but Obama does not

“Then there’s Trump. He is all back story. We know his flops. We know he curses. We know his women. We know he lies. We know he has bad taste — in buildings, in ties, in associates (the late Roy Cohn, for instance, and now Roger Stone). He did not treat his wives well (according to them) and Ivana, in particular, retaliated by enlisting the New York gossip columnists. And now we must add this nonsense about Barack Obama possibly having been born outside the United States. Trump’s a birther. Why not? He’s everything else — and, anyway, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.”

Let’s take the first sentence of the above quote and change it as follows.

“Then there’s Trump Obama. He is all back story. We know his flops. We know he curses. We know his women. We know he lies. We know he has bad taste.” Every single one of the above criticisms can be just as easily attributed to Obama. Actually, since we are slinging mud everywhere we can substitute the allegation that Obama cheats on his wife with his proclivity for gay men and penchant for cocaine. Early on there were rumors and even witnesses saying that Obama had gay dalliances and used cocaine. We are surprised that there is not some accusation against Trump to this affect somewhere as well. Fair is fair.

The birth certificate

And then outrage of outrages! Trump points out that Obama was never vetted and that we know nothing about him. Trump wants to see Obama’s long form birth certificate. Everyone tells us it exists, but no one wants to show it. How’s that for a big, big Obama lie. If you repeat enough times that everyone has seen it, maybe that is true. Did you know that Obama has shown his certificate of live birth? That is a document where the applicant can state whatever he wants on the form with no verification. Did you know that Obama’s sister also has a certificate of live birth from Hawaii even though she admits to being born in Indonesia? It is therefore possible to be born outside the US and have a certificate of live birth as Obama’s sister has demonstrated. Moving along. Nothing here of significance.

Trump simply cannot be president and neither can Obama

For all the above reasons, Cohen concludes that Trump simply cannot be president. But, but, but neither can Obama because all the above criticisms apply to him as well. Can it be that if Obama can be president with all the identical criticisms, then so can The Donald? Fair is fair. Cohen has just written an article making a case that Trump is just as qualified to be President if not more so since Trump knows how to create wealth. You simply cannot say my candidate is better than yours when they have identical personal baggage. The truth is that Obama cannot handle the level of criticism Trump is getting. He never could.

And finally the video

You have to take the time to watch this video. It is too funny. Everything around Obama is collapsing even his fragile ego and self image as the video clearly shows.
