How come Obama hasn't smacked Trump down today

Ok, it has been 24 hrs now since the Vulgarian said Obama founded ISIS and ISIS worships Obama. Been waiting all day for Obama or Biden to give it to him bigtime. Do you suppose they are doing something behind the scenes?

...and probably---hopefully!---trying to connect with his family and decompress on Martha's Vineyard for a few days.

Can't say I blame him!

No sane person thinks Obama actually founded ISIS, and those who actually believe that crap already believed he's a socialist Muslim antichrist.

Personally, as much as I am enjoying his quips at Trump, I would rather see him talk more about Hillary than Trump. He is in a unique position to vouch for her trustworthiness and I think he could probably do more to help her by talking about that instead of focusing so much on Trump.

Which happens to be a thankless 24/7 job, that causes a ton of stress for him. That is why Obama isn't able to tweet nonsense like Trump, since he has a lot of work to do. Seriously, Trump is unfit to be president, just like Obama stated recently. Donald doesn't have the experience, temperament, or general knowledge of what is expected for that job.

1, Obama is on vacation with his family.

2, Obama hasn't stopped laughing at the suggestion long enough to get a response.

3, Obama hasn't gone from livid to just angry and doesn't want to reply in his current state.

4. There is a theory that when your opponent is imploding, don't get in their way.
