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.

Obama is a nobody.

People laugh at him and his legacy.

In a few months, he will be blessedly gone for good.

Obama should panic. His girl gave Trump LOTS of ammunition last night for Trump to use in the weeks ahead, and Trump gave her NOTHING.

Hillary will be incapable of learning and adapting - Trump will learn and adapt. It was his FIRST one-on-one debate in his life.

It was NOT a debate.

It was an ambush - Trump survived it.

“Obama is a nobody.

I don’t laugh, he actually does have a legacy, a legacy of unmitigated, continuous EVIL. It will take a miracle to overcome that legacy.

Everytime Obama opens his mouth, he reaches a new low in stupidity.

What we have had to put up with for the past decade.

It can’t be over soon enough.

The only legacy Obama's interested in is M/M O's post-presidency
get-rich quick plans modeled after the Clinton Foundation's modus operandi.

===================================================

But there is a big hitch to those plans: "What Does Obama Know about the Clinton E-mail and Foundation Scandals, and When Did He Know It?"

Since Obama NEVER received an email from a Clinton "state.gov" address during Hillary's four years as his Secretary of State, did Obama ever raise concerns with his White House staff about Clinton's use of a private email server?

Now, ponder this 1/29/16 State Department briefing. Spokesman John Kirby announced that the State Department would not release 18 emails found on Secretary Clinton's private server that were exchanged between President Obama and Clinton while she was Secretary of State.

Kirby added that "in accordance with the Presidential Records Act they will ultimately be released." Apparently, none of the emails were classified, if Kirby is to be believed. But, according to the transcript, several reporters were incredulous upon hearing that only 18 emails were found. Here is a sample from the transcript:

QUESTION TO KIRBY: Does that mean that they only emailed each other 18 times for the four years that she was his Secretary of State?

MR KIRBY: I can't speak to — QUESTION: That's 48 months. I mean, is that – have you gone through all of them and she only communicated with the President 18 times by email?

MR KIRBY: Of the 55,000 pages of traffic that were handed over by former Secretary Clinton to us to go through for release through FOIA, we have found these 18.

QUESTION: And no —

MR KIRBY: And I do not expect that there will be more.

QUESTION: Well, that's – does that strike you as being a bit unusual? I mean, my boss – I have 18 emails an hour with her sometimes.

MR KIRBY: Well, but —

=======================

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange reportedly has possession of Clinton's 30,000 deleted emails.....so its reasonable to surmise email exchanges between Clinton and Obama are likely to surface. Perhaps even some with classified material? Maybe hints of secret deals between the Clintons and Obama?

That will be a "game-changer".....not only will Obama be implicated directly into the web of Clinton's scandals but the President himself could be accused of national security violations

Obama's presidential legacy would be permanently tarnished, and his endorsement of Clinton considered suspect.

SOURCE: How Obama's legacy could be tarnished by Hillary's scandals Washington Examiner ^ | September 15, 2016 | Myra Adams / FR Posted by Kaslin

===================================================

UPDATE: (1) Obama never admitted he used a pseudonym to disguise his email correspondence w/ Secy Hillary. (2) Obama says he found out about her private server through the "news"....his standard cover-up excuse.

Like everything else BO’B has ‘built’, his ‘legacy’ is nothing more than a castle made of sand, and the next large wave coming to shore will wash away, grain by grain, the mighty fortress that bears his name; what name might that be, we ask? The dark Night Fallen, his name scattered into the depths of the water that will clean this Nation of the stench of evil’s destruction and smell of the death of the democrat party.

Obama should be scared of Donald Trump as president. The truth of the last eight years will come out.

Not really. Obama plans to remain in Washington (he purchased a home there). Unlike Bush, he will not remain silent. He is the darling of the msm and you can be certain he will be called upon on a regular basis to critique how his successor is performing. As the first black president, he has created a legacy (albeit horrid) and will use the media to uphold it.

I laughed out loud reading the (gag) "mission statement" of his get-rich-quick foundations (two that we know of).......practiced con jobs to get tax-exempt status:

.....“to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of my dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

===========================================

This one's even funnier:

GET READY FOR ANOTHER POLITICAL MONEY-MAKING MACHINE ---Boobamba already has two Clintonesque get-rich-quick foundations (that we know of)....mission statements sounding suspiciously like the Clintons.

SOURCE http://www.barackobamafoundation.org/

President Obama said, "the change we seek will take longer than one term or one presidency. Real change—big change—takes many years and requires each generation to embrace the obligations and opportunities that come with the title of Citizen. " (TRANSLATION: Me and Michelle want the money pouring in faster than we can spend it.)

FOUNDATION MISSION STATEMENT (cue laugh machine): The Obama Foundation will inspire the next generation of young leaders all over the world. It will convene the brightest minds with the newest ideas from across the political spectrum and draw strength from the rich diversity and vitality of Chicago, the city where the President and First Lady started a family and raised their daughters.

But most of all, the Foundation will ask all of us to take on big challenges and to believe that we can meet them together. Our history and President Obama’s legacy give us hope that even the most difficult change is possible, and the Foundation exists to carry on that great, unfinished project of renewal and global progress.”

Inform visitors about our civic rights and responsibilities and inspire citizens to get engaged.

Empower individuals who are leading change around the world, and help develop new ways to enable all citizens to take action.

Connect people from different communities and disciplines to create new approaches to solving our biggest challenges.

Translate new ideas into concrete actions that will have a measurable impact, enlisting partners across all sectors to scale what works.”

Thank you for nailing the true point on the debate. We all knew Trump was walking into a leftist meat grinder. He walked back out unscathed and in many ways victorious. He had several zinger lines that illary can Not and will not shake. The comment on emails alone was priceless and no one really cares about his tax returns any ways.

The man is a known presence for decades. So is Hillary - a known criminal who even tried to steal national heirlooms from the White House when she left. The true test of Trump in the debate was that he fought back and fought back hard. Romney would have curled up in the fetal position and McCain would have looked to the audience and announced "I'm with her."

Trump did fine. If there's another debate I will have higher expectations but considering Hillary had all her powers focus on destroying Trump in that arena last night, and make no mistake that was what was supposed to take place, and Trump walk out head held high.

Going by FB this AM I saw many leftists claiming victory and yet several of them conceded "I bet his numbers go up"... Now why would that be? Because after decades of knowing Hillary Clinton, we all know what she is about and she cannot sell is no matter how she wraps the package. A totalitarian socialist who debates well? That's also what Venezuela got and look and them now. No thanks...

She had to prove she could stand up for 90 minutes and not go into coughing fits,

It was an ambush and Trump held his own,

However the MSM will spin even more that they have for her every day from now until the election along with every globalist establishment corrupt lying politician wanting to buy favors,

The money will pour in,
