Obama Roasts Trump with the Protection of the Secret Service



This isn't easy for me to say, I wanted to give Obama credit for calling out Trump basically right to his face in front of thousands of people, mocking him ruthlessly, but I just can't.  

Was it a badass move? Absolutely.  But it was at the White House correspondents dinner, secret service everywhere.  What did Obama have to fear here?  If he wanted to show some balls he should have roasted Trump a month ago on Comedy Central, could have filled in for The Situation and the roast wouldn't have skipped a beat.   Holding back until you've got your squadron of goons to protect you is a chump move in my opinion.

But I do love how he stuck to his core black roots, urging a presidential inquiry into the cases of Biggie and Tupac, that's called knowing your core audience kids.

PS: I wrote this pre-Bin Laden news.  I can't even imagine how smug Obama must have felt inside knowing he was skewering Donald one night, and upstaging his number one rated show the next.   The guy cut off the second half of The Apprentice and then didn't make his statement for another hour.  Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he told everyone he'd be having a press conference at 10:30 just to snub the Donald, knowing full well he wouldn't come on until almost midnight.  

Safe to say I'm back on board Obama 12, sorry Donald.
