The guy who’s broken every campaign pledge he ever made is now calling Donald Trump a “carnival barker.”
Here’s what Obama said about his would-be opponent in Wednesday’s birth certificate press conference:
I’ve provided additional information today about the site of my birth. Yes, I was in fact born in Hawaii on Aug. 4, 1961. Over the past 2 1/2 years I have watched with puzzlement this controversy. Normally I wouldn’t comment on this. But the prominent news story was about my birth certificate, not the budget. I want to make a larger point. We have enormous issues we are facing. Which will generate huge and fierce debates. We are not going to be able to come together in a bipartisan fashion if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers. I have every confidence that the US will come out on top.
We assume that when President Obama called Donald Trump a carnival barker, he doesn’t actually think Trump stands on the midway and lures suckers in to play rigged games of chance.
Based on Obama’s performance as President, we’re not sure if it’s supposed to be an insult or a compliment.

...instead of paying any attention to the budget or running the country in general.
Good grief, if it takes that long for him to realize he should just produce the damn certificate and move on it's no wonder we have so many problems with the country.
If it's such silly nonsense, why didn't he release the BC during the campaign, like McCain did?
And after 2 1/2 yrs it took Trump to put the heat on him?
Distracted everyone with this birth certificate for these two years while he magically drained the money away......more like a magician i think.
He spent a lot of time talking about this even though he said he wasn't going to give it much time. I mean this guy cannot even be real to himself.
He doesn't understand that the "enormous challenges" we face are the results of actions he's taken since he became President.
