'Illegal' use of the 'Bully Pulpit'? Is this what our tax dollars are for?

[easyt65]

The article cited in the OP takes the tack that this good for Trump because of the attention it draws, but doesn't mention much of anything about illegal attacks.

Who cares if it is 'good for Trump or not'? At hand is the issue of the abuse of power for a President / elected official using his or her power and position to attack a US citizen, who does not have that same ability to defend themselves, in an attempt to partisanly effect the outcome of an election. Again, abuse of power.

In that case, don't vote for Obama!

Thin skin? Who's got thinner than Trump?

Evidently Obama d(o)es because he is President and abusing his power to attack a US citizen.

The president has freedom of speech to. He isn't doing anything but talking.

but wait, one doesn't just get freedom of speech, there are limitations right? The whole can't yell bmb thingy?

Don't see how your citation applies to the situation. Is Trump out there planting bmbs?

nope merely pointing out freedom of speech isn't exactly free and it has limitations. I should have figured you wouldn't get that, since you have no objectivity. you're just a libturd walking around using stupid daily.

Obama is not 'talking'. He is attacking a US citizen, and using his position and power to do so!

As pointed out, instead of doing his job Harry Reid abused his power and position by partisanly attacking a US citizen in a successful attempt to effect a political election, later even admitting that he slandered and lied about Romney. His excuse / justification: 'It worked, didn't it?!'

Obama is abusing his power and position to partisanly attack a US citizen in an attempt to sway a political federal election. Sorry, but that goes beyond simply 'exercising one's freedom of speech'. That's an abuse of power.

Which is perfectly legal for him to do. I suggest not voting for Reid if you feel that strongly about it.

Your limitation on the president would muzzle him. That isn't intended either.
