Obama rips Trump: 'It's wrong to spend all your time from a position of power vilifying people'

 (CNN)Former President Barack Obama made a thinly veiled jab at President Donald Trump on Friday evening, saying it was wrong to use a position of power for attacking others as "enemies of the people and then suddenly pretending that you're concerned about civility."
"I would like to think that everybody in America would think it's wrong to spend all your time from a position of power vilifying people, questioning their patriotism, calling them enemies of the people and then suddenly pretending that you're concerned about civility," he told a cheering crowd.
Trump has repeatedly called the media "fake news" and "the enemy of the people." Following the discovery of multiple packages sent to people whom the President has spoken against as political enemies, as well as a suspicious package in CNN's New York bureau at the Time Warner Center on Wednesday, Trump tweeted Thursday that "a very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News."

Hopefully the midterms will exhaust this jackass and he'll take the next six years off.

Well, Bammy, ya know NBC was just outed as having sat on news that could have cleared Kavanaugh, but maybe That's not fake in your little world.

Bammy was pretty good at vilifing Christians every chance he had.

'They cling to their guns and their God'. <- which is a perfect description of Muslims, btw

'Excusing the Muslim holocaust against Christians in the M.E. by saying "Christians shouldn't get on their high horse" because the the 1100AD to 1300AD Crusades.' <- it is hard to believe that Hussein is still pissed off about the Crusades that happened a thousand years ago. Essentially he said that Christians are just as bad as ISIS.

"Always keep the enemy on the defensive by accusing him of what you, yourself are doing."

[INVAR]

It's Alinsky's model to" Accuse the Other Side of That Which You Are Guilty” And it is effective because:

It immediately puts the innocent opposition on the defensive.

The innocent opposition has to waste valuable time refuting a lie and not addressing the issue.

It has perverse consequences of making the innocent guilty and guilty innocent

Its impact is asymmetrical, falsely accusing the innocent elicits a completely different response than truthfully accusing the guilty.

Falsely accusing the innocent catches them completely unprepared, there are infinite numbers of false accusations one can draw from, and there is no way to prepare or anticipate all of them.

The guilty knows of their true guilt, they know what they truly did, and they have time to prepare a thoroughly deceitful response to hide their guilt.

The accusation is what makes the headlines, the retraction gets printed on page 6 if at all.

The Rats have been doing this as long as I can remember (late 70's).  It got really bad, since Clinton on down.  I just don't remember McGovern being like this.

The thing that amazes me is that none of these people see their hypocrasy.  It's amazing.

I really don't care what he says anymore.  To me he's irrelevant.

It also reduces accusations of actual deeds to the "I know you are but what am I?" level, a weak position to attack from when the opposition is actually guilty.  The Left are masters of this technique.

You still gotta get there firstest with the mostest, and with the MSM squarely on the Left, that's tough to do. Still too many leaks  so the Dems get their screed in first.

F*&$ 0bummo...a walking and breathing POS if there ever was one, next to Jimmy Carter. 
Just pandering to his Godless, hypocritical sycophants.

He is what he always has been--a mouthpiece for those behind him pulling the strings. Recall, he only sounds smooth when he stays on script. He is/was a figurehead for the Alinskyite global communists.
