Everything in politics is a reaction to what came before.

Wasn’t totally his fault. Think Hillary and the likability factor.

“I thought about this for years. In other words, Obama’s feelings were hurt because 2016 was a repudiation of his presidency. He probably thought that he’d do a Reagan ‘88 or pass the White House to someone of his own party.”

The choice was Hillary or Biden. The question to the American people had was do we want dog food or cat food? Or someone who isn’t in government to go in and drain the swamp? We chose that latter, despite everything the Democrats and Deep State did to prevent it.

He has a criminal mind. Sociopathy isn’t pretty.

While it is likely that it won’t happen, he belongs in a prison for the rest of his worthless, uncivil, caustic existence.

What led Obama to allegedly organize a takedown of the Trump presidency? Was he hurt or was his ego crushed?

It was much more basic than that. Obama was just covering his ass.

Remember that this all started with the meeting of the Obama team in early December 2016 that set off the whole "Russian collusion" narrative. Those people didn't convene in early December 2016 just because they decided to undermine the incoming Trump administration. There was a much more pressing -- and practical -- matter they had to deal with:

1. The surveillance of the Trump campaign began in the summer of 2016 (if not earlier). It had nothing to do with Russia and everything to do with simply spying on the Trump campaign for political reasons.

2. What triggered the December 2016 meeting was a development that took place a week or two earlier. This was the remarkable event where NSA head Mike Rogers -- against the orders of his superiors in the Obama administration -- traveled to Trump Tower in New York City and informed the Trump team about the surveillance that had been taking place for months up to that point. This meeting took place right around Thanksgiving in 2016, as I remember it.

3. The Trump transition team immediately vacated its headquarters in Trump Tower and moved its operations across the river to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

4. Once that Trump Tower meeting took place, the Obama team knew the whole conspiracy and illegal surveillance was out in the open. They met in early December 2016 to do some major damage control. The whole "Russian election interference" angle to the story was fabricated after Election Day as an ex post facto narrative that would be used to retroactively justify the illegal surveillance.

“REPUBLICANS” slobbered all over him too! They aided and abetted his treason! They sat by and did nothing while he fired all the military generals and replaced them with woke commies for starters...

On the day he left office, he was more popular with the public than he ever had been

Not at all true. Obama as a candidate dabbling in abstractions that could be informed by ones wishes ("Hope" and "Change") was FAR more popular and the Obama leaving the White House.

While I think Obama would have MUCH preferred having Mrs. Clinton consolidate his Revolution, and maybe extend it. As a good Hegelian of the Marxist variety he would have seen the Trump conflict (or someone like him) as inevitable, leading to consolidation down the line.

Obozo got mad at Trump for the birth certificate thing and tried to humiliate him at that press dinner. Trump took it like a Man and then said: Okay, bitch, I think I’ll take your job! Trump could only have done more if he killed Hillary and beat obozo to death with her body.

Good summary. I think you are right. The Russia Collusion hoax began as a justification for the spying. But it took hold and they ran with it to damage Trump’s image.

Barry, along with everyone in his orbit, must rot in prison or we have no justice and cannot be expected to follow any further protocol set forth by those who claim the mantle of justice.

(Run-on sentence, I know. I was busted for it as a child, and never got over it because I dislike excessive punctuation.)

Keep in mind that President Trump first ruined the plan of the Beltway insiders to have ¡Yeb! follow in the footsteps of McCain and Romney as designated loser in 2016 to Hillary. That’s why the hoax began before the election because Trump wrecked the sure thing so they had to take action against him to restore Her Heinous’s easy path to victory.

You can easily imagine Hussein’s anger and frustration building as Hillary was literally stumbling through the campaign including the infamous thrown into the van like a sack of potatoes while Trump was surging. Not only was the Obama legacy being undermined, but this guy Trump was going to deny Bathhouse Barry his ultimate goal of directing his third term through the severely compromised Hillary Clinton. I’d say hurt feelings were the least of it.

Srednik believes that while Obama indeed has a huge ego likely sensitive, there is a deeper reason for his alleged sabotage of Trump’s first term.

The Obamanator was propelled onto the world stage as a sock puppet for his offstage manipulators. Gates? Sorros? Schwab?

How else would Barry Soetoro get a Nobel Prize even before his inauguration?

The biggest treasure chest in the world is US Federal Income Tax revenue. The best investment in the world is to propel a bought and blackmailable marionette into office and then have them funnel cushy contracts or NGO income one’s way.

Srednik recalls a report of Sorros tapping economic recovery funds during Barry’s first term in order to buy an international petroleum interest at rock bottom price and then selling it for large money when the price recovered.

Oh, and these folk are not “altogether altruistic” in their ersatz philanthropy.
