11月10日VOA聽力:共和黨總統提名流仍未肯定
Donald Trump's new book, Crippled America: How toMake America Great Again, went on sale Tuesday. Itreinforces his campaign message that he wouldmake the country strong again. Trump said his rivalBen Carson does not have the energy it takes to bepresident.
"We need somebody with tremendous energy to straighten out the military, to straightenout ISIS, to straighten out our horrible trade deals, to terminate Obamacare and come upwith something far better for far less money. You need somebody with tremendous personalenergy to run as president. We have a president now that doesn't have energy," said Trump.
Republican candidates by and large criticize the Obama administration and pledge todismantle some of his policies. On Monday, the president ridiculed Republicans who suggestthat the United States was better off before he took over.
"According to them, everything was really good in 2008 when we were going through the worsteconomic crisis in our lifetimes; unemployed and uninsured rates were up, and we werehopelessly addicted to foreign oil, and bin Laden was still on the loose. This apparently was thegolden age that I messed up,” said Obama.
Several Republican presidential candidates, including current frontrunner Ben Carson, haveteamed up to demand changes in the televised debates that would include limiting provocativemoderator questions.
"We should have moderators who are interested in disseminating information about thecandidates," said Carson.
But the idea has been all but abandoned after it met with widespread criticism and wasridiculed by President Obama.
"If you can't handle those guys (moderators), then I don't think that the Chinese and theRussians are going to be too worried about you," joked Obama.
While the Republican camp still does not have a consistent frontrunner one full year before theelection, Hillary Clinton has established a strong lead on the democratic side.
