Obama is certainly more careful with his words - usually.
He has been rather reckless with his actions:
* Obamacare has wrecked millions of family budgets - workers on the edge of poverty had their hours cut - entirely predictable.
* Obamacare has wrecked my family budget too - I now pay $17,000 per year for health insurance (almost double), but the deductible is so high I can't afford some recently recommended procedures.
* Toppling Libya and standing down in Iraq left a vacuum that gave the world ISIS.
* Dodd-Frank and the massive increase in regulations has stifled business, costing millions of jobs.

I could go on and on with actions, but back to Obama's words:
* Obama siding with protesters over police gave us the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
* The president's support of the protests have discouraged effective policing in minority areas, costing many more black lives than the bad cops did.
* (The bad cops have NO EXCUSE, but no reasonable person should ignore what happens when police get less aggressive in crime-ridden areas)
* "Over the Labor Day weekend, Chicago hit that tragic number: 500 homicides. Nearly all of those killed were black men, shot to death in alleys and on street corners by other black men."
** Chicago Tribune, Dahleen Glanton, Sept 7, 2016

Obama's words as president have consequences - he should never have encouraged this reckless anti-cop movement and the mayhem and loss of life that ensued is his fault.

Still, none of that excuses Trump's rants - I do hope that Trump learns something from the deaths and violence that have spilled directly from Obama's reckless speech.
