Obama: Fight w/ Trump goes back to when they grew up in Kenya together

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Later in the Leno appearance, Obama laughed off Donald Trump's pledge to donate $5 million to the charity of the president's choice if he agrees to release his college records and passport application. Obama joked that his contentious relationship with the business mogul goes back to when they grew up in Kenya together.

"We had constant run-ins on the soccer field," Obama said. "He wasn't very good and resented it. When we finally moved to America I thought it would be over."

3. What a fantastic man

The haterz in this country have no concept of how fortunate we are to have this man leading our country. He's a genius and at the same time a very cool guy.

4. Pres Obama made it a point to say that he has NEVER met Trump.

Obama also weighed in on Donald Trump's offer from earlier in the day, which stipulated the businessman and reality television star would offer $5 million to the charity of Obama's choice in exchange for the president releasing his college records and passport applications.

Asked what was going on between himself and Trump, Obama joked that it "all dates back to when we were growing up together in Kenya," a jab at Trump's constant questioning of his birthplace in Hawaii.

"We had constant run-ins on the soccer field, and he wasn't very good and resented it. I thought it would be over when we got to America," Obama joked, adding he has never met Trump.

11. Thanks for the link, Tx! I've been wanting just to read about it instead

of watching it tonight.

I really like this quote..

Obama said the string of maligned abortion comments from Republicans was a sign they should remove themselves from the conversation.

"This is exactly why you don't want a bunch of politicians, mostly male, making decisions about women's health care decisions," Obama said. "Women are capable of making these decisions in consultation with their partners, with their doctors, and for politicians to want to intrude in this stuff often times without any information is a huge problem."

P.S. I saw a blurb on there that says Eastwood was back in a new Super Pac ad.. I'm not going to watch. F*** Clint Eastwood. he's too damn dumb on his mitt/lyin love.

[Maximumnegro]

8. Oh Snap. Polls just went up!!!

[ohheckyeah]

9. LOL...

he's funny as hell.

13. "We had constant run-ins on the soccer field," Obama said.

Oh shit. This guy is good. He constantly surprises me. This is pure genius.

Of course the birthers will jump on this and say "see, Obama admitted he was born in Kenya."

[Columbus Free Press]

16. Dont say that

It might come true... and then we'll have to hear about it for 4 years...

careful what you wish for

[yellowcanine]

20. Just pointing out the obvious.

[BlueDemKev]

14. Watch the birthers point to this interview as "evidence"

I can just see it on youtube..."Obama admits he grew up in Kenya!" blah, blah, blah....

[Lex]

15. A perfect retort to Trump's idiocy. nt

[leftynyc]

17. Mocking is the perfect answer

It makes people laugh and the donny's head will explode.

18. Best delivery ever for the Prez

This was just a thing of beauty. I love Obama, but wow. He just delivers that line so beautifully. And he looks so relaxed and confident. This interview was one of his best so far this election season. I expect this should do him some good among the goofy undecided folk who only watch crap like Leno.

19. President Obama made a pie outa those republican nutters (TM, nutters word trademark by McCain)
