President OBAMA re: GOP Candidates: "The American People Deserve Better"
The president said Huckabee's comments were "part of just a general pattern that we've seen that would be considered ridiculous if it weren't so sad."
"Maybe this is just to push Mr. Trump out of the headlines but it's not the kind of leadership that is needed for America right now," he added. He also pointed back to Trump's remarks deriding the war record of Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, and said, "The Republican party is shocked and yet that arises out of a culture where those kind of outrageous attacks have become far too commonplace and yet circulated nonstop through the Internet and talk radio and news outlets."
Plus, the president added, when "outrageous statements like that" are made about him, the same people who were outraged by what Trump said about McCain were "pretty quiet."
"We are creating a culture that is not conducive to good policy or good politics. The American people deserve better. Certainly presidential debates deserve better," Mr. Obama said.

Usually turned on the low setting pointed at the GOP swarm. Don't make him turn it up!
