Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama was irked and exasperated in response to his successor's uncorroborated wiretapping accusation, sources close to the former president tell CNN, though these sources say Obama's reaction stopped short of outright fury. Obama and his aides responded with disbelief when they learned of President Donald Trump's Saturday morning tweets laying out the charges. Later in the day, an Obama spokesman said "neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any US citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false." The sources provided CNN with slightly different insight into Obama's demeanor than others who told The Wall Street Journal that Obama was "livid."

Obama's loyal army of supporters have been far more active in voicing their dissatisfaction with Trump. On social media and television, former aides have been aggressively pushing back on Trump in the first weeks of his presidency.

See tag line.

Well Obama needs to hold a press conference then, and someone needs to ask him what he knew and when he knew it, to get him on the record. Of course that will never happen because he knows he is lying. So instead he will have his surrogates speak for him in contorted evasive language.

Pretty much took the focus off “Muslim Ban 2.0” though, didn’t it? LOL

**Obama irked and exasperated**

Good. I was more than irked and exasperated during his reign.

“President Barack Obama was irked and exasperated...”
Now he knows how we felt every day during his presidency.

Edited to eliminate FakeNewsiness:

>>”Obama’s loyal army of supporters have been far more active in voicing their dissatisfaction with Trump.<<

Will now read:

Obama’s loyal army of supporters, like all of us here at CNN, have been far more active in voicing their dissatisfaction with Trump.

Poor widdle stompy-foot, all wee-wee’d up at President Trump!

[HarleyLady27]

HE'S ‘URKED AND FLUSTRATED’!!!

What about the American Citizens that had to put up with his crap for 8 years, and now we are learning just what he HAD planned to completely take out our Country!!!

I suggest Barky and his mess pick up and leave this country, because if the American People start to show their frustrations he just might be the first one they take it out on and rightfully so!!!

[boycott]

That’s like ......sources close to FR poster boycott tell him that obama is a lying communist bi-sexual muzzie.

I believe my sources are more credible than CNN’s sources.

Blah blah. It is Obama’s shtick to act like he couldn’t possibly do anything wrong or stupid, while doing everything wrong and stupid. He’s such a leftist he might even believe his own BS.
