Obama places blame for Trump on Republican Party and their inability to overcome their demagoguery

[kpete]

..................

President Barack Obama says Donald Trump's positions aren't different from those of the other Republican presidential candidates — he's just more provocative in talking about them.

Obama weighed in on the 2016 presidential campaign during a news conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (troo-DOH'). Obama says Trump's positions on immigration and other issues aren't that different from those of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz or Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

Obama calls the GOP primary a "circus" and a "Republican crackup" resulting from GOP actions. Obama says he takes responsibility for failing to bridge political divides, but says he has not contributed to the worsening tone of political rhetoric.

Obama says he believes the Democrats are doing a fine job of working out issues in their primary.

1. Guess which R. candidate is on the record as pro-choice?

2. Watched the Presser.

Talk about relax body language,the Pres nailed it. When this comment came,Trudeau's facial expression was a killer. Thought both were about bust a gut laughing at the Rethugs. Remember many of the Political Consultants from the GOP ran the opposition campaign against Trudeau.

3. he had me laughing in my car

I was listening on XM, I loved when he called it "novel" to blame him for Trump. Then he went on with a pretty serious and interesting commentary on the Trump phenomenon.

4. When each addressed each othe by their given names.

The Press Corps went nuts. Waiting for some smartass comment from the Rethugs on this.
