'Stop whining' about U.S. elections being rigged, Obama tells Trump

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama urged Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to "stop whining" about the Nov. 8 election being rigged, saying no serious person could suggest U.S. elections could be manipulated because of their decentralized nature.

"I have never seen in my lifetime, or in modern political history, any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process before votes have even taken place. It's unprecedented," the Democratic president said.

"I'd invite Mr. Trump to stop whining, and go try to make his case to get votes," Obama said at a joint White House news conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

Of course Obama has to air our dirty laundry on the international stage. Talking about rigged, that's what early voting is all about.

You have to be ready to stick to the business at hand.

Keeping The people of United States informed is sticking to business at hand.

Obama is incorrect campaigning for Hillary, on American taxpayers' backs.

The Barack H. Obama Foundation � Malik named it after his and the president�s father � would be better able to help the family�s village of Kogelo, Kenya, �if I had gotten the support I should have gotten from my brother,� Malik said.

Malik, who is three years older than Barack, said he last saw his sibling in August 2015 after the president had visited Kenya.

�I went to the White House to say hello. I paid a courtesy call,� he said. But it wasn�t a very warm and loving reception.

�As usual, it was a hands-off kind of thing, very businesslike, very formal,� Malik said.

"Malik said ousted Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy had been a good friend.:

I see why the president keeps his relationship with his half brother formal at best. Moammar Khadafy was not a good friend of the U.S. and killed by his own people..

Minister Farrakhan disagrees Ron, and I agree with Farrakhan AND Malik Obama, the elder brother.

Steve Williams Wednesday, October 19th 2016 at 3:51PM

Farrakhan told Barack, do not do this to your brother.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 20th 2016 at 8:25AM

You agree with Minister Farrakhan about what?
