Obama should be arrested for implying Trump needs a filter, Fox Business host suggests
By Cleve R. Wootson Jr. December 2 at 4:42 PM
Call it an unwritten rule a matter of decorum among the small fraternity of men who once held the title leader of the free world.
Before he left office, Barack Obama said his goal was to steer clear of the political spotlight as George W. Bush had done when he left the White House giving the new president room to govern without Obama's shouldering into every debate with the megaphone that being a former commander in chief affords.
But a Fox Business commentator said Obama violated that unwritten rule with a recent comment about Trumps tweets. Whats more, according to Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, that violation should merit arrest.
I think U.S. marshals should follow [Obama], and anytime he wants to go follow the president like he is and behave [like that], Dobbs said on his show Friday. I mean, this is just bad manners. Its boorish and its absurd and he doesnt realize how foolish he looks.

cover STILL, Hillary's emails, and lock her up, if there is news damaging to Repubs.

He needs an effing muzzle.

doesn't apply evidently as far as Dobbs is concerned. What a tool for for saying Obama should be arrested.

they can't comprehend "I disagree with him, but he has the right to say it."

That line describes Trump.
