President Barack Obama slammed Republican presidential candidates Monday for complaining about CNBC’s debate moderation.
Speaking to a crowd at a Democratic fundraising event in New York, the president mocked the GOP candidates for the recent media firestorm surrounding the Republican effort to negotiate new debate rules after the Republican National Committee canceled the next debate, which was to be moderated by NBC News and Telemundo.
“Every one of these candidates says, ‘Obama’s weak, Putin’s kicking sand in his face. When I talk to Putin, he’s going to straighten out,’” he said. “Then it turns out they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators at the debate. Let me tell you, if you can’t handle those guys, then I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you.” Read more at NBC News.

he’ll spit in your face and say it’s raining. BIGGEST LIAR since America was born……………………..
Obama expertly handles Putin by letting Putin run wild. while our defense posture and alliances are in ruins.
One more year of this creep.
Why must Obama be so mean-spirited towards the Republicans and especially towards Carly Fiorina? Why must he put down women?
They handled those moderators quite well thank you. It’s just that a Republican debate is supposed to be just that; a debate between Republican candidates; not a debate between the candidates and a group of childish Democrat moderators.
p.s. Does anyone still care about what that has-been has got to say?
actually, i believe it was the cnbc moderators who couldnt handle the candidates
