OBAMA STARTING TO PANIC OVER TRUMP
Frontpagemag.com ^ | September 27, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 09/27/2016 3:27:23 AM PDT by Biggirl

Wondering why Obama suddenly seems to be going all in for Hillary? It's the smell of fear penetrating the privileged bubble of the left. The right side of history no longer seems so inevitable even in the rarified air of the ivory houses of D.C. That transformation of America that the left feverishly believes in as historical destiny has begun to look shakier than usual.

Going into Monday night’s debate, Obama’s team is feeling that same anxiety expressed by some top Hillary Clinton aides: maybe the country isn’t what they thought, maybe the resistance to Obamacare and gay marriage and the progress they’re so proud of is broader than the vocal fringe they’ve always dismissed. Maybe, the president’s aides – current and former – now concede, they’re going to have to live with the fact that Trump could end up in the Oval Office in part due to a backlash against Obama.

“There's not a lot of mirth in the circles I run in about him,” said another former senior Obama campaign staffer.

It's sad when the mirth goes. But it's okay. You can expect the manchildren of Obama Inc. to have a serious pop culture based response to all this.

“I’m trying to think of a series to compare it to, which was a series that started as a comedy and became a high stakes drama,” said Ben LaBolt, a former White House aide and press secretary for Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. “I feel like we’re maybe in the fifth season of ‘Breaking Bad’ here. We’re way beyond the laughs, and just sitting on the edge of our seats in terror.”

In retrospect, one of the things historians will wonder about it is how these idiots took over America.

For Obamaworld staffers who had just been starting to settle into a new buoyancy about the president's climbing approval numbers, Trump’s growing strength is an agonizing reminder of how far short they have fallen in delivering on ‘hope.'

Sure. You wreck the economy. You openly set out to destroy entire industries. You force your twisted values on the entire country at gunpoint. You ridicule and humiliate anyone to the right of you at every opportunity and do your best to entirely lock them out of the culture and then political life. And you wonder why you can't reach them and there's a backlash.

Obama built this.

Though only a few weeks ago, current and former Obama aides would joke about how the president’s great political legacy might be the Republican Party destroying itself in front of him. Now, on the record, they push back on the very suggestion that Obama’s legacy should be viewed in any frame that Trump also occupies.

“I don’t think he thinks it’s his legacy, I don’t think any of us think it’s his legacy,” said Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser to the president.

Denial. It fixes everything.

Rather shows how dumbed-down the man-children running the White House are when they compare the current state of America [that they’re responsible for] to television programs that aren’t close to actual reality. Just GTFO...

Simply put - he’s worried because when Trump wins he will go to jail.

He emailed her under a pseudonym and doing so broke many laws.

Think back to his comments about saying “there’s classified and then there’s classified”. He will use this as his defense.

They will both be prosecuted by a Justice Dept that will do its job apart from Politics.

That is why he’s freaking out.

The man who tried to destroy America will now live out the rest of his life in relative luxury with 24/7 protection.
Exempt from his own commie healthcare.

OBAMA isnt worried about political change...
TRUMP WILL PUT HIM AND HILLARY IN PRISON FOR THEIR TRAITOROUS ACTS IN SUPPORT OF ISIS AND AL QUEDA AND COOPERATION AND SUPPORT FOR THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD...

that plus the missing billions diverted from the DOD and STATE DEPT.. PAYING RANSOM AND ALLOWING IRAN TO GET A BOMB... and putting national security at risk by using unsecure e-mails...

Plus Hillary is especially at risk with the e-mail coverup ,,, and will be tried and convicted of multiple felonies and tax evasion with the “foundation”...

When mr. Trump walks into the Oval Office, and uses his predecessor’s ‘Executive order’ format, to order the DOJ to arrest Obama on treason charges, I believe a lot of media people might just start exiting windows on their respective building floors.

As usual, Daniel hit it outta the park.

nobama will likely give Killary and her minions, Huma and Cheryl come to mind, universal pardons, forgiving them for all their sins. He will see to it that Trump’s DOJ, run by Rudy I hope, will have it’s hands tied.

Killary is not well and I’d guess her time remaining will not be pleasant.

Welcome to America, it’s how we’ve been feeling for
the last 7 and 1/2 years.

Trump doesn’t hope for change, he does it.

Actually, Greenfield didn’t make the Breaking Bad analogy. Instead, he quoted an obamatard lackey. He quoted the lackey to show how shallowbama they all are, framing things in pop cult references.

But yeah, I enjoyed the analogy because it reveals just how terrified the shallow obamatards are feeling.

Suffer, you effin’ obamatards!

Suffer!

Careful, that is probably racist thanks to "disparate impact".

Now, I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

She stood up and did not have a seizure. Trump talked under pressure without losing his cool. Win Win.
Trump’s heart felt words will be remembered. Hillary’s memorized speeches will not.

His legacy is crap, as are the phoney approval polls the media gives him.
