A joyful, funny Barack Obama stumping for Hillary is absolutely lethal for Donald Trump.

Obama says he's not just going through the motions on the campaign trail.
"I really, really, REALLY want to elect Hillary Clinton," he adds.

President Obama Blasts Donald Trump in Fiery Speech Supporting Hillary Clinton
Maya Rhodan @m_rhodan 2:49 PM ET

The Republican nominee was a major target of the president, who said Trump is “not really a plans guy, a facts guy” and even questioned his business sense. Most business people, Obama said, obtain success without leaving a “trail of lawsuits, workers who didn’t get paid” and workers who “feel like they got cheated.”

“This is the guy you want to be championing working people?” a bemused Obama asked, joking that “the Donald” doesn’t want working people living in his condominiums or playing on his golf courses. “He spent most of his life staying as far away of working people as he could. And now this guy is going to be the champion for working people?”

The president also took issue with Trump’s fondness for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who Trump’s praise for has evoked fear in his Republican colleagues. “I have to do business with Putin,” Obama said. “But I don’t go around saying that’s my role model.”

Obama also touted his own record, pointing to a new Census Bureau report showing American household income on the rise. He even bragged that gas prices were had dropped drastically since he took office.

“Thanks, Obama,” he joked.

Obama rips Trump for being such a giant downer about everything.

Donald Trump has painted a bleak portrait of America during his campaign, and Obama sought to contrast this pessimism with the examples of past Republican presidents. In particular, he said the GOP under Trump was no longer “the party of Lincoln,” and he said his vision for the country is vastly different from the one that Ronald Reagan had.

“Ronald Reagan called America a shining city on the hill,” Obama said. “Donald Trump calls it a divided crime scene.”

I could watch the news on CNN. They kept President Obama on the entire time. I did have to see dipshit in the little box in the corner. Just wish he could schedule all his campaign time the same time as dipshit's.

Called him out. That's the only way to get everything that is wrong with Drumpf on the teevee media - during a speech!

campaigning on Hillary's behalf, Trump may actually want Hillary herself to be back on the trail soon.

I personally hope that she gives herself a well-deserved break and comes back refreshed and full of fight as ever. She had an exceptionally draining and overly long primary season. Trump did not. He steamrolled his way over all the other candidates and not one would, IMO, have been any better - even though some may have been more predictable. Bernie Sanders was tougher than ALL the GOPer candidates put together - and then some.

In the meantime, the Cheeto and HIS surrogates continue to make absolute - if scary - fools of themselves. And their supporters continue to validate Hillary's "deplorables" comment by bashing grandmoms in the face and otherwise behaving deplorably in general. All in all, none of that is bad for Hillary.
