The White House, which is running a blatantly unconstitutional regime, is now attempting to vet potential successors to the Oval Office, and yet again take out opposition leaders.
First, Obama said that Assad lost all legitimacy, and should step down, and partnered with al Qaeda and ISIS to back up his opinions.
Now, Obama’s press secretary has claimed that Donald Trump has lost all legitimacy and has been “disqualified” from running for office. Just how does the White House plan to back up its opinions this time? Trump claims that he won’t be intimidated and exit the race, but one has to wonder how far the system will go to get its way.
“The fact is the first thing a President does when he or she takes the oath of office is to swear an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And the fact is that what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as President… And any Republican who’s too fearful of the Republican base to admit it has no business serving as president either,” Earnest said.

Senator Rand Paul, who is also running for the GOP nomination, but who has received only a fraction of the coverage that Trump has, blasted back at the arrogance of the Obama White House, suggesting that President Obama should address his own “disqualifying” characteristics first:
Today I would like to put a mirror in front of the Obama White House and show them the top ten things that make HIM unqualified:

Rand Paul did make a list of his top reasons, and tweeted them out in succession. Of course, there are many more examples that should be dealt with. Here are Rand’s reasons, listed on the Washington Examiner, or here on Twitter:
1. “Tried to take over 1/6 of the economy in Obamacare, wrecked the system and hurt patients and taxpayers.”

5. “Signed into law the indefinite detention of American citizens.” (Paul is referring to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) signed by Obama in 2011, which earned heavy criticism from groups like the American Civil Liberties Union).

Not sure how Rand interprets the first amendment, but it’s pretty obvious that the administration that has punished more whistleblowers than any other, and allowed the NSA, intelligence community and private business to spy on and censor anyone it wishes, has no respect for the 1st Amendment or 4th Amendment either. Due process and whole back of the original ten amendments has definitely eroded to point where the ink is no longer legible.
Benghazi/Gaddafi, Fast and Furious and the use of drones all belong on this list as well, but it is only 10 and a good start. ISIS and the covert support of terrorism is its own giant issue that should be a nationwide scandal, with impeachments, prosecutions and a gutting of the entire staff of every major office in Washington, D.C. But it will never happen.
Obama’s role in the bankers bailout and the failure to prosecute Wall Street executives, or end legalized derivatives are all crimes that will also escape any notion of justice, even if the criminals strike again.
Though none of these men are perfect or trustworthy with ultimate power, President Obama and his team make Donald Trump and Rand Paul look like founding fathers.
