1. Hahaha! That's great!
Trump is such a wanker. Loved the way Obama jabbed the Fox news table, too. :rofl:

2. Love his sense of humor
and his gently mocking FU to Fox and the Regressives.

7. I had given up hope President Obama would ever fight back.
Since becoming President, he's been attacked by the right wing
bullies.
He stood there, trying to look Presidential, while they tore
him down.
Standing there, looking Presidential, didn't work.  It
emboldened them.
They learned they could attack and lie without recrimination,
without being challenged.

The right wing bullies need to learn they will pay a price for
their attacks.
They need to learn their views will be ridiculed as they
ridicule the views of their opponents.
They need to learn personal attacks from them will result in
personal attacks against them.

They should be ridiculed and criticized for not holding open
town hall meetings.
Having people submit questions, in writing, and then deciding
what questions to answer stinks.
They should be ridiculed in the press, in opinion pages, on
the Internet.
They should be called cowards and worse.

I'm sure the Right won't like the "new President
Obama" willing to fight back.  Good.

I'm sure the Independent vote won't like the fighting either,
but not fighting back is worse.
Not fighting back means the Independent vote will only hear
(and believe) what the Right is saying.
This is very bad.  This is a war of opinions.  This is a war
of personalities.  
The Right fights dirty...I hate to say it, but we must fight
dirty just to be heard.

8. The only shot of Trump was showing a bit of bad body language.
I get the impression he wasn't amused.

9. Hard to look amused . . . .
. . . when you've just been eviscerated.

The strangest thing to me about the video, visually, was how trump practically didn't move a muscle during the entire roast. It almost looked theatrically staged - like for someone in a big audience with a bomb strapped to their body. It's a wonder he didn't go ballistic.

10. And when it was over, I noticed he headed straight for the door...
He was not a good sport. What was he there for, anyway, and what did he expect? :eyes:

13. He expected lots and lots of fawning.
He was disappointed.

14. He's attacked the president and the president was speaking...
He should have known what to expect, given the tone of the evening. I sure didn't feel sorry for him, but I cringed when I saw his stony face. x(

11. The President's put-down of Trump in the full clip is awesome
Edited on Sun May-01-11 12:14 PM by Auggie
Totally discredits Trump's presidential qualifications in the name of comedy. Brilliant presentation.

:thumbsup:
