Obama is doing everything he can to make things hard for Trump
The New York Post ^ | December 27, 2016 | Michael Goodwin

The most telling hot-mic moment of Barack Obama’s presidency came in March of 2012 when he told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev: “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.”

The topic then was missile defense, but America and the world now see the full ramifications. Whether it’s dusting off an obscure provision to block oil drilling or using the United Nations to betray Israel, this is what maximum flexibility looks like. This is Obama being Obama.

Liberated from the pretense of respecting public consent and no longer forced to calculate the impact on Hillary Clinton’s campaign, Obama is rushing to settle scores and tie Donald Trump’s hands. It is an infuriating exit.

It is also a revealing one. The last-ditch actions help explain not only why Trump won, but also why a course correction was absolutely necessary for the nation. Obama’s cynical schemes are variations of “you can keep your doctor,” and Americans were right to show Democrats the door.

It’s also worth remembering that Obama promised to have Israel’s back, and that’s where he put the knife.

The silver lining in his fire sale, which also includes trying to make it more difficult for Trump to vet Muslim refugees, is that it offers a moment of clarity about the dangers of unrestrained power. Ultimately, it only serves itself.

And with Clinton promising to expand Obama’s executive overreach and with the likelihood that a Dem-packed Supreme Court always would say amen, our system of checks and balances would have been null and void if she had won....

Obama now reveals himself to be the ugly he always was underneath his fake public disguise.

A utopian liberal fascist, treasonous, unAmerican ba$tard.

And if yo do not believe that, take a read :

This is an excellent summation. Obama is a vengeful child.

You forgot the key word, petulant. I had labeled him for that in the interview he did after his speech at the 2004 DNC. During that speech, I looked over to the Mrs. and said, watch out for that one.

It’s one thing to be accused of being a low life man child like obunghole has. It’s another thing entirely to prove it many times a day like he does.

Too bad it isn’t possible to get a do over for these last 8 years but at least we can use it to hammer the fascist leftists forever more over it. The only way for obummer to have been a worse President is if he were the Ayotolla Khomeni (sp).

I sincerely hope powers that be have some sort of plan in effect to muffle, restrict or neutralize his last minutes of sabotaging America, give him a case of the best MJ joints, a set of high dollar clubs and balls, anything to keep him from screwing things up any worse. Get him occupied doing something useless for the next 3 weeks, just the same routine he has had the last 8 years.

During that speech, I looked over to the Mrs. and said, watch out for that one.

That speech was when I first got the vibe that Obama was a formidable vessel for evil. When I mentioned this to a relative shortly afterward, she said, "I tell you, the Devil is in that man's eyes!" I didn't argue. That combined with Ted Kennedy's screwing of the Clintons to give Obama his golden opportunity were all the warnings anyone needed. Watch out, indeed.

My question is: Will Trump make life hard for Obama after Trump takes the oath of the Presidency and the transition is complete? I sincerely hope so. Time for secrets to be exposed and truths to be revealed about this usurper for the fraud committed against this country that he and the Democrat Party knowingly and willingly conspired in. They all need to be jailed and most likely executed for these high-crimes of treason.

Thanks for the link. The article is one of the best concise summaries of the Obama’s worldview.

Trump should respond to this by continuing the investigation of Clinton, which will ultimately lead to charges of treason against Obama.

Obama knew Clinton was illegally using a private server, making him criminally complicit in her corruption.

Wow. I must have missed this one back then when it came out, thank you for re-posting it.

As someone who has taken the time to read and try to understand Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” (even to the point of attempting to record it and disseminate it to people who haven’t got the gumption to read the blasted thing) the author hits it spot on.

Having taken part in many demonstrations, and been called a fascist by liberal protesters, I had to wonder how they would come to call me that, since they obviously had no idea what fascism is. I always thought for them, it was a lazy, shorthand for calling their opponents “Hitler”, when they themselves were supporting people who really were fascists.

Obummer has a LOT to worry about from Trump.

Unless he tries to pardon himself, unprecedented but not completely impossible, Obummer has nobody to cover for him.

Dems can threaten Trump with impeachment every 15 minutes (they already are!) but that’s about the only arrow in their quiver. Obummer knew impeachment was his only danger and knew just as firmly that the spineless GOP would never even try it. Sure enough, they never did.

I expect Trump do the “gentlemanly” thing and let Obummer slip away. But if Obummer digs in and fights (unlikely, given his cowardice) then Trump will launch on him. Next month is going to be interesting.
