I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president. And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people, and I think they recognize that being President is a serious job. It’s not hosting a talk show or a reality show. It’s not promotion. It’s not marketing.
— President Obama, in a statement.
This guy is such a total pussy, it’s stunning.
— Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, in a Fox Business News interview, on President Obama’s Oval Office address on terrorism.

Number of times President Obama has mentioned terrorism in remarks and written statements since taking office and he has done so at a rate of nearly twice a day in 2015 – more than any year of his presidency, according to a Smart Politics analysis.
This is not normal. We can’t let it become normal. If we truly care about this — if we’re going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience — then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them. Period. Enough is enough.
— President Obama, quoted by Politico, after yet another mass shooting.
23%
Of Americans think President Obama has a clear plan for dealing with ISIS, the lowest number yet recorded, according to a new CBS News poll. Sixty-six percent do not think he has a clear plan — a new high. “Large majorities of Republicans and independents say the President doesn’t have a clear plan, and almost half of Democrats (40%) agree. More Democrats (45%) say he doesn’t have a plan than say he does.”
These are the same folks who suggested they’re so tough that just talk to Putin or staring down ISIL [will work] … but they’re scared of widows and orphans …. First they were worried the press was too tough on them in the debates, now they’re worried about 3-year old orphans. That doesn’t sound very tough to me.
— President Obama, quoted by NBC News, blasting GOP presidential candidates for rhetoric about Syrian refugees.
The first thing I’m probably going to do is catch up on my sleep. I’ll probably do that for a couple of months.
— President Obama, quoted by The Hill, on his post-presidential plans.
If this deal is consummated, it will make the Obama administration the world’s leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism. Billions of dollars under control of this administration will flow into the hands of jihadists who will use that money to murder Americans, to murder Israelis, to murder Europeans.
— Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), saying that President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran is essentially financing terrorism. Cruz didn’t back down after the president called his comments “outrageous,” Politico reports.
The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are I think part of just a general pattern we’ve seen… that would be considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad. Maybe this is just an effort to push Mr. Trump out of the headlines but it’s not the kind of leadership that’s needed for America right now.
— President Obama, quoted by ABC News, on Mike Huckabee’s inflammatory comments on the Iran deal.
I saw a very, very naive man who does not know how the world works.
— Rick Perry, quoted by the Huffington Post, on President Obama’s announcement of a nuclear deal with Iran.
