| Quote: | | | | | Here’s Obama very much playing the man. You’re welcome.
| | | | | You're presenting the gentlest of ribbings at the White House Correspondents Dinner -- famous for roasts! -- as evidence of Obama's mean streak?!? 
If that's the best you can do, I think you've proved our point. Thank you.

Just that Obama has in the past taken things to a personal level with Trump.

Would you care to explain what you mean by Obama learnt getting personal with Trump does not work? You have provided exactly one ancient example of Obama versus Trump where Obama made no personal comments and continued to successfully finish his Presidential term?
Edit: Whereas Trump soon after withdrew from the 2012 Presidential campaign.

| Quote: | | | | | Again, somebody who makes effort to comment on my personality. Why even. You assume I actually like somebody in US politics. I have to say, that unfortunately I don't. I do like courage to stand up. And I see what Trump is doing. While people get busy analyzing his personality and waxing on details of his insanity...he's already ahead. I think he was better choice of the two options exactly for the type of ruccus he is deliberately causing. People do not trust anyone in the US, often not even their own families or friends. He is campaigning for more trust, with his twitter schtick. It is daft and looks authentic. He is campaigning for traditional values, for families and small businesses, small govs having more say than feds, local communities being more responsible and powerful (and accountable!) than white collar officers godknows how far eho eat up too much budget. He is supporting countries and members of far away communities to be able to deal with their own problems and not via the US, they know better. Hence the ban. US is not so powerful and it shouldn't be, internationally. The bans exist everywhere. Only the members of troubled communities can fix stuff, internally.
He is the definition of anti-scripted scenarios. I would lie if I thought it is him behind it...but maybe it is. He is quite appalling and provocative but it looks genuine. A heavy callibre for heavy callibre country and culture. People want philosophy and sophistication while he's like..."dude, somebody needs to foot the bill first". | | | | |   | | This user would like to thank cannut for this useful post: | |

| | | | | That's a comedy roast, dude. From the White House Correspondents' Dinner if I'm not mistaken. The dinner Trump refuses to attend due to colossal snowflakery. It was an playful rebuttal of Trump's years long campaign to prove Obama was wun of dem dere muslamic forrins, he deserved all the ribbing he got.
Also, this was from when Barry was president. Amogles was making the point that Obama has criticised Spanky at every opportunity since Trunk became president.
Come on guys, get your stories and timelines straight.

Makes mental note to stop posting "It is nearly Friday", anyway | Quote: |  | | | The president made the surprise decision late Monday to cancel Tuesday's White House ceremony for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
The decision came after the president was informed that only a small number of Eagles players would be attending.
Instead, Trump is hosting what the White House is calling a “Celebration of America” that will include military bands playing the national anthem and other patriotic songs. | | | | | So how did it go? | Quote: | | | | Trump's “Celebration of America”event on the South Lawn of the White House lasted just seven minutes
Several attendees who spoke to reporters did not appear to have ties to Philadelphia or the Eagles, even though the White House said the event was organized for fans of the team.
One audience member was even caught on camera taking a knee during the national anthem. | | | | | Source 
Did I ever post the words "you could not make this stuff up"?
