Obama Mocks Thin Skinned Republicans For Throwing A Tantrum Over CNBC Debate



While speaking at a DNC fundraiser, President Obama went to town and mocked the Republican candidates for throwing a fit over the questions that were asked at the CNBC debate.

The Hill reported on President Obama mocking the Republican candidates:

“They say, ‘when I talk to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, he’s going to straighten out,‘” he said at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in New York City. “And then it turns out they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators.”

“If you can’t handle those guys, I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you,” Obama added.

VIDEO is REALLY Good!!!!!:

They should take the video from every GOP clown's finger-waving, pontificating tirade against CNBC, speed it up, set it to Yakety Sax (the Benny Hill theme song) and ask voters "do you trust any of these people to lead the free world?"

He knows just how to lead a person through the thought process.

So funny. I really enjoyed that.

no matter how tough they are (and they weren't).

republicans have a sense of entitlement and they think saying code words should be enough to give them a pass. It use to be 'liberal' then it became '911'. Those don't work anymore so they don't know how to answer an actual question with actual facts.

If they were to answer factually, they'd show that none of their ideas work, and that most of their proposals are not liked by a majority of Americans.

Outside in the real world their hot air rhetoric disappears under scrutiny, their zingers fall on deaf ears, their empty threats are brushed aside, their shallow policies are the same old, failed and outdated, C&P ideas from 40 years ago. None of them can stand on their own, and they aren't quick witted enough to think on their feet. They are only looking for simple questions that are focused on their favorite talking points so they can recite a zippy one liner that brings a cheering audience to their feet... that stuff makes the best self promotional youtube video.

These are a bunch of lightweight wannabes, but the scariest part is they are the best the GOP has to offer, and the voters love them. Go figure!

Yes, I read today that Trump is most trusted (by GOPers) on the economy and the nations nuclear weapons.

I dunno where the nuclear stuff comes from, but someone who has been bankrupt 4 times can certainly be trusted with the economy. Right?

Apparently the so-call Republican coalition is fracturing over this. Half of them have backed off of the demand letter written to future moderators. President Obama just made them look silly, and they know it. However, the soon-to-be-aired Trump press conference today ought to be interesting. I don't see how The Donald will be able to resist throwing out some of his patented zingers. It's just what he does.
