Obama: "Listen, if [Trump] cannot answer a tough question like, 'What would you like to do in your second term,' then it is our job to make sure he does not get a second term."
Obama: "We literally left them a playbook that showed them how to respond before a virus reached our shores. It must be lost along with the Republican health care plan ... he doesn't even acknowledge that there's a problem."
"Earlier this week, when [Trump] was asked, 'Would you do anything different? Anything?' He said, 'Not much.' Not much? ... Maybe we shouldn't have had the president not get on television and say if you put some bleach in you, that might clean things up." -- Obama
Obama: "Unemployment was steadily going down during the
Obama-Biden presidency, and then he gets elected, and it keeps on going down, and suddenly he says, 'Look what I did.' Their first three years fell short of our last three, and that was before he could blame the pandemic."
"He won't even extend relief to the millions of families who can't pay the rest or put food on the table in this pandemic..it's hard to understand, b/c it's not like it's his money. He barely pays his income taxes. He had no problem paying a ton of money in taxes to China"- Obama
Obama in North Miami: "The reason [Republicans] do not show you their plan to actually provide people protections when it comes to preexisting conditions is because they do not have one, and they never have. And that is just a fact."
Obama: "We have got a POTUS who actually suggested selling Puerto Rico. Believe it or not, it could've been worse. He once asked our national security officials if he could nuke hurricanes. I mean, at least he didn't do that. A nuclear hurricane seems like it would have been bad"
"When 60 Minutes and Lesley Stahl are too tough for you, you ain't all that tough" -- Obama
Obama: "We will not have a POTUS who threatens people with jail for just criticizing him. That is not normal behavior, Florida. You would not tolerate it from a coworker ... 'Florida man' wouldn't even do this stuff. Why are we accepting it from the the president?"
After years of watching Trump, it's refreshing to watch a politician fire up a crowd for reasons opposite of hateful lusting for extrajudicial punishment of their political foes. And with that Obama's speech in North Miami is over.
