<\/a>\u201cThis guy is temperamentally unfit to be Commander in Chief and he is not equipped to be President. This should not be a controversial claim. It really shouldn’t. It’s strange how, over time, what is crazy gets normalized and we just kind of assume, well, you know what, he said a hundred crazy things, so the hundred-and-first thing we just don’t even notice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Obama said the U.S. could not afford a President who suggests that America should torture people or that it should ban entire religions from the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe deserve better than a Commander-in-Chief who insults PoWs, or attacks a Gold Star mom, or denigrates our troops.<\/p>\n
This is somebody who vilifies minorities, vilifies immigrants, vilifies people of Muslim faith, makes fun of Americans with disabilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow is that person going to be your voice? Do you want somebody to be your voice who on tape brags about how being famous allows him to get away with sexual assault? Who calls women \u2018pigs,\u2019 or \u2018dogs,\u2019 or \u2018slobs\u2019 and grades them on a scale of one to ten? That is not the voice of America,\u201d Obama asked and the audience responded with a big \u201cNO.\u201d<\/p>\n
Obama asserted that there is only one candidate in this race who has devoted her entire life to lifting up that better America\u2014and \u201cthat is next President of the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s the right person. She\u2019s the right person at the right time,\u201d Obama said.<\/p>\n Americans becoming Numb to Trump’s Rhetoric Unacceptable: President Obama<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cYou hear what Trump says, and the problem is that it\u2019s been happening so frequently that we have become numb to it.<\/p>\n We almost act like it\u2019s normal. We almost treat this like some reality TV show,\u201d Obama told his supporters at an election rally in Jacksonville, Florida, Nov. 3, a key battle-ground State.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know one of those shows where they have got to bleep out every few sentences because folks are just acting crazy and saying crazy stuff, and being mean, just to manufacture some drama so you can collect more ratings? That is how we are treating this election for the most powerful office on earth, as if it’s normal,\u201d he rued.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve become numb to it. And it\u2019s not. It’s not. It\u2019s not acceptable. It\u2019s not normal. You can\u2019t make an excuse for it. You can\u2019t pretend it\u2019s not happening,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you talk to some folks who are voting for Trump, they\u2019ll say, well, you know, he doesn\u2019t really mean it, or it s just locker room talk. They try to justify it or excuse it. Or in some cases they say, well, that\u2019s really terrible, but as long as he supports tax cuts for the wealthy, as long as he supports my agenda, I\u2019m going to go ahead and support him anyway,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to tell you about this office that I\u2019ve been in, the presidency. I want you to understand. Who you are, what you are\u2014it doesn\u2019t change after you occupy the Oval Office. It magnifies who you are. It shines a spotlight on who you are. Because you have more authority, you can act on who you are,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cSo if you disrespect women before taking office, you\u2019ll disrespect women when you\u2019re in office. If you accept the support of Klan sympathizers before you\u2019re in office, you\u2019ll accept their support while in office.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you disrespect the Constitution when you\u2019re running for office, and you threaten to shut down the press if they say something you don\u2019t like, or if you threaten in a presidential debate to throw your opponent in jail, or you discriminate against people of different faiths, then that\u2019s what you\u2019ll do in office,\u201d Obama said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe reason I want everybody to focus on this is, you know, I\u2019m a proud Democrat. We are not Democrats or Republicans first. We are children of God. We are human beings. We are Americans first. I have good Republican friends who don\u2019t act or think the way Trump does,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Trump, he said, is somebody who would do damage to the democracy, who is uniquely unqualified and shows no interest in becoming more qualified.<\/p>\n Obama said America has never been about what somebody from on high will do for you.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not about electing a dictator or an emperor or a king. It s about what we can do together, what\u2019s achieved by us together. It\u2019s about self-government. And Hillary understands that,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n \u201cShe knows this is a big country, a diverse country. And it doesn\u2019t work if we demonize each other all the time. She knows issues aren\u2019t always black and white, and that progress requires compromise even when you\u2019re right.<\/p>\n \u201cShe knows that none of us are perfect, not even Presidents, but we should try to conduct ourselves with a sense of decency and propriety, and big-heartedness. Because our kids are paying attention,\u201d said President Obama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Barack Obama speaking at a rally for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at Florida International University in Miami, Florida, Nov. 3.
