Where in the World Was Barack Obama?
WSJ ^ | 5/18/2018 | james freeman

Somehow the former commander-in-chief is largely absent from the political spying drama.

President Donald Trump tweets today: “Reports are there was indeed at least one FBI representative implanted, for political purposes, into my campaign for president. It took place very early on, and long before the phony Russia Hoax became a ‘hot’ Fake News story. If true - all time biggest political scandal!” And what does the man who was serving at the time as the FBI’s ultimate boss have to say about all this?

Perhaps it’s a good moment to get the whole story from our 44th President. He should now have time to discuss his administration’s surveillance of affiliates of a presidential campaign because he has just prevailed in a contentious dispute.

The Associated Press reports, “Plan for Obama Presidential Center advances over protests.” According to the AP: Construction of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago took a major step forward Thursday with a city commission’s decision to sign off on the project after hours of testimony from both supporters and opponents of the project. The Chicago Plan Commission unanimously approved a proposal to build former President Barack Obama’s center in Jackson Park on the city’s South Side. The action came over protests from opponents who want an agreement that local residents will benefit from the $500 million project. “Community residents have no ownership, no say-so, no input,” said Devondrick Jeffers. “We know this is a huge investment in the community, but it’s not truly an investment if residents don’t benefit from this as well.” However, Obama Presidential Center supporters cheered the plans for the presidential center, saying it would bring job opportunities to the area and foster economic development.

He was up to his eyeballs in it. Hillary wasn’t a part of the government anymore. There was no way Hillary produced that dossier, then was able to just magically get the FBI and CIA to pick it up and run with it. Only Obama could have pulled the strings to make that happen.

The excerpt begins well, then meanders off the topic.

Ah well...

I believe the more appropriate question is ‘where was Valerie Jarrett?’.

obama was too absorbed with pizza trips on AF-1, planning the next weekend’s White House party, finding golf partners, and learning how to take selfies to be bothered with the real trappings of the presidency which included political skulduggery.

His main presidential question was likely, “Are you sure that the teleprompter is working OK?”
