APPALLING – AT 10:09 A.M. ET:  Is there any end to Barack Obama's poor taste?  Our perpetually adolescent president is in Asia this week, referring repeatedly to Americans as "lazy" and apologizing for our sins, whether committed or not.

As an elegant no-nothing, one of the most poorly informed presidents I've ever seen, Obama is absolutely certain of everything he says. 

He is also utterly contemptuous of American traditions – one of which is never to engage in domestic politics while in a foreign country.  From London's Daily Mail: 

President Barack Obama said Thursday that Republican Donald Trump proves he isn't qualified to be president 'every time he speaks,' adding that he was confident Americans would ultimately reject the brash billionaire and his 'wacky' ideas on Election Day.

Obama, closing out his final presidential trip to Asia, said his meetings with foreign leaders during the trip had illustrated that governing is 'serious business' requiring knowledge, preparation and thought-out policies that can actually be implemented.

Yeah, right, like candidate Obama in 2008, who didn't have one visible qualification for the presidency.

He urged Americans not to allow what he called Trump's 'outrageous behavior' to become the new normal.

As opposed to Obama's wonderful behavior.like insulting Americans who "cling" to their guns and their religion.

'The most important thing for the public and the press is to just listen to what he says and follow up and ask questions to what appear to be either contradictory or uninformed or outright wacky ideas.'

The president suggested that in a non-election year, Trump would be laughed out of the room.

'There is this process that seems to take place over the course of the election season,' he said, 'where somehow behavior that in normal times we would consider completely unacceptable and outrageous becomes normalized.'

'And people start thinking that we should be grading on a curve.'

'I can tell you from the interactions I have had over the last eight or nine days with foreign leaders that this is serious business,' Obama said.

'You actually have to know what you are talking about and you actually have to have done your homework. When you speak, it should actually reflect thought-out policy you can implement.'

COMMENT:  This from the man who said America has 57 states and that people in Austria speak Austrian.

True, Trump gives Obama plenty of ammunition.  But Obama's comments, in a foreign country, about a man who could be president, are insulting and damaging to the United States.  If Trump becomes president, foreign leaders will remember Obama's words.
