Obama takes swipe at Trump: Presidents shouldn't watch TV or read social media

Former President Barack Obama took a thinly veiled swipe at President Trump, saying commanders-in-chief should avoid watching television and scrolling through social media.

"What you have to do is to create a process where you have confidence that whatever data is out there has been sifted, sorted, and the core issues that are going to be important to your decision, you're able to see it around," Obama said in San Francisco on Wednesday, according to CNN.

"And that requires not just a good process but making sure you have a team that's got a diversity of opinion. The other thing that's helpful is not watching TV. Or, you know, reading, you know, social media," he said. "So those are two things I would advise if you're president not to do, because it creates a lot of noise and clouds your judgment."

President Trump has to defend himself from this vermin called a news media ever day unlike Obummer whom the media were in love with and defended to their own detriment! I guess Obama forgot about all the time he wasted filling out college basketball brackets and going to games.

Obama should go to hell by the nearest and quickest route. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. Go straight to hell.

That light loafered jerk spent his time and our resources working his basketball bracket and touting his music playlist. Should bolt his lips rather than spout.
