“There has to come a point at which you say enough,” the Obama said.

Apparently, when it comes to talking about Trump, Obama has reached that point.

Speaking at a fundraiser here on Monday Obama praised Hillary Clinton and went out of his way to avoid talking about the Republican nominee. "Frankly I'm tired of talking about her opponent," Obama said. "I don't have to make the case against her opponent because every time he talks, he makes the case against his own candidacy."

Obama was appearing a fundraiser for the Hillary Victory Fund, which was set up to raise money for the Democratic National Committee and state parties across the country. The president, who has spent much of his first week of vacation golfing and relaxing, used most of his brief remarks to make the case for Clinton.

"Until you sit at that desk and you're making life and death decisions, and you're deploying young men and women to war, or you're having to avert a crisis that could affect millions or in some cases billions of lives, you don't know how you're going to respond," Obama said.

He said that Clinton is not "always the flashiest, she's not always the person who is going to give you a big stem-winder," but he praised her as a "hardworking, diligent, smart, tenacious leader."

"She's the person who's going to do the work," he continued.

Obama acknowledged that he did not really need to sell Clinton's candidacy to the crowd of stalwart Democrats, but urged them not to take Clinton's big lead in the polls for granted."If we are not running scared until the day after the election, we are going to be making a grave mistake," he said.
