Obama On The First Debate: Clinton Offered ‘Vision,’ Trump Didn’t Prepare (AUDIO)

CNN

President Barack Obama reflected on the first presidential debate in a call with Ryan Seacrest Tuesday morning, saying that “everybody that watched the debate got a sense and a vision about where [Hillary Clinton] would take the country.”

“I’m admittedly biased,” Obama said, “I have worked with Hillary and I know her. She’s well prepared and she’s got the right temperament for the job. She’s well-respected around the world, she’s serious and does her homework, and she’s got a vision to put people back to work and make sure the economy’s working for everybody and not just a few.”

“I would say that the other guy… does not have the preparations and the temperament or the core values of inclusion and making everybody have opportunity,” he added.

In a press conference Monday, according to Politico, press secretary Josh Earnest said “I anticipate that this fall Monday evening will be similar to fall Monday evenings in the White House residence, which is that the president will be working tonight with the television on in the background.”

“I think the one difference will be instead of Monday night football, there’ll be a little more politics being discussed in the context of the debate,” Earnest added.

    lol! HO was totally unprepared. Maybe Unprepared Donald should spend a little more time in debate prep.

  2. Avatar for meta meta says:

    Yea, with Giuliani.

  3. Here is the other thing, I don’t think he can prepare. He just doesn’t have the skill or knowledge to handle it and as bad as he was today he might be even worse if he is struggling with remembering things they talked about in prep.

  4. “The other guy”! Man, is he good at being contemptuously dismissive. It’s like empathy can be the worst weapon in his hands, because he understands Donald a billion times better than Donald understands himself. Take your blood-pressure medicine, Other Guy, lest you stroke out reading this. Me, I’m in my happy place right now. : )

    Absolutely. He’s nothing much intellectually and he’s got very serious ADD issues. He has almost zero interest in anything that isn’t self-aggrandizement or sadism.

  5. “I would say that the other guy… does not have the preparations and the temperament or the core values of inclusion and making everybody have opportunity," he added.

    Other Guy? Is it time to update HO to OG? Or do we marry the two and call him HOOG? (pronounced hôɡ)
