The eight 0bama years were terrible and the media slobbered all over him.
BO is a pod person. He doesn’t have feelings like normal human beings.
Everything in politics is a reaction to what came before.
What feelings?!
“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.
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.
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.
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.
Daddy issues.
Trump’s three victories (3) made half the country, and many on this board, into blithering idiots.
The Martin Gurri list cited in the article is simplistic — Obama’s ego might have emboldened him to unleash ops to destroy Trump, but his goal was “fundamental transformation of the country”.
Obama, and all of us, know that US government policy, and to a lesser extent personnel, see-saws back and forth with each rotation of party-in-office, keeping radical change at bay. The Democrats’ Dream is to impose eight years of leftist policies, appointments, and values, then stop the rightward rebound of the pendulum under a new administration.
Trump’s first term gave them the perfect opportunity, since the Republican Party wanted him to fail, his pool for appointees was thin on experience, and Trump himself did not understand the level of perfidy he was up against. Four years of destructive radicalism under the Biden puppeteers was the result. We are lucky to have survived.
Benedict Obama’s fee-fees got hurt.
Barack Obama was simply a tool in the long game to install a one party socialist/communist government in the United States.
Looking back he is one in a long line of Democrat progressive leaders who ran for POTUS beginning with Woodrow Wilson. Wilson disdained the masses, the concept of individual liberty, and the philosophy of limited government. Follow the chain - Wilson, Cox, Smith, Roosevelt, Stevenson, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, B Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, H. Clinton, Biden, Harris. Each either more left wing than the previous or similar to the predecessor. Each of these candidates, who attained the office of president pushed policies further to the left, expanded the size and mission of government, increased regulation of private sector businesses, and increasingly weaponized the judicial system against political opponents and citizens.
The Democrat party is an instrument in a long term plan to destroy the America of the founding where government’s primary job is to protect the rights and freedom of the individual citizen. The goal is to replace it with a governing structure where the people are subservient to government. Rights and privileges are granted to citizens based on their behavior and status within the ruling hierarchy. Listen to their voices, they are not reluctant to share their core belief that the elites know what is better for the people than the people themselves.
Since the Woodrow Wilson years the left has captured most American institutions — organized religion, education, journalism/media, corporate boardrooms, the financial system, the judiciary and law enforcement, large urban area governments, medical care, and non-profit organizations. Even the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Over the last hundred years the central government has taken over many of the functions of state and local government. In addition the federal government has made state and local governments dependent on federal dollars, which results in state and local politicians doing the bidding of the central government. Plus the regulatory bureaucracy has steadily infringed on the independence and freedom of individual citizens and small businesses. Slowly but surely the supremacy of the federal government over every aspect of American life has been institutionalized.
Meanwhile the opposition Republican politicians have played the short and easy game of self interest. They have acquiesced to the infringement on the freedom of the individual in return for favors which have enriched them as individuals and served the interests of their wealthy donors. In reality, the establishment Republicans have traded the freedom of the citizens for wealthy and the perceived personal security of status and friendships with the powerful.
Obama, like the rest of the Democrat presidents, served the bigger plan and the hidden puppeteers who controlled him. The weaponization of the intelligence community and judiciary was his primary achievement in the long term march to an America where the interests of the “community”, as defined and imposed by the ruling elite, are superior to the freedom of the individual. Government will define the individual’s role in the community as well as the individual’s status in society.
It isn’t hard to see the next step in the long term progressive movement. At some point, a Democrat President with a Democrat majority Congress will announce the Constitution of the founders is outdated and irrelevant in the 21st Century. Plus it is immoral because it was written by slaveholders. A commission will be established, staffed with far left academics and senior politicians, to write a new Constitution. That Constitution will be approved by Congress. They may even send it to the states for approval if they have a majority of state legislatures controlled by Democrats. Once 51% of the states approve, they will announce the old Constitution is dead and the new Constitution is the law of the land. The current governing institutions will be replaced by a dictatorship of a one party state.
While this death blow to liberty is occurring most conservative citizens will be surprised at the large number of Republicans who publicly support this orchestrated effort. They are opportunists who have flourished in politics by determining where the wind is going and acquiesce in an effort to sustain their status in society and their personal fortunes. They know once the dictatorship of the one party state is formally established, those at the top will brutally eliminate any perceived disloyalty or threat.
Our founders pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to establishing the American dream. Many of them delivered on that pledge. How many Republican politicians do you see who are willing to put their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor on the line to preserve the concept that the main purpose of government is to protect the rights and liberty of the individual citizen? I see less than a handful today. When the day of reckoning comes, most will gladly accept the chains of tyranny, without a fight, in a vain effort to preserve their lives and fortunes. As to sacred honor, they voluntarily gave that up years before in order to be players in the current political arena.
Obama’s distaste for Trump goes beyond hubris and a bruised ego. As he so clearly stated, Obama wanted to fundamentally transform America from a democratic republic to a single party Marxist state. Hillary in her unbridled lust for power would have readily participated in Obama’s quest. When Trump’s seemingly unlikely bid for the presidency happened with a new surge of populism, Obama engineered a plan to take down Trump or at least hamstring his presidency.
Joe Biden became the candidate in 2020 by a backroom deal because the front runner at the time, Bernie Sanders, was clearly unelectable. The 2020 election was clearly stolen with massive amounts of manufactured votes and mail in ballots. Obama knew that Biden was easily manipulated and his increasing senility made it easy for Obama to install a ruling cabal of loyalists to complete his dream of transforming the country.
The Obama vision of a new America under Biden was a disaster economically and his policies were very unpopular. Trumps phoenix like resurrection from 2020 caused the unprecedented attempt to take him down at any cost with unending lawsuits and a media smear campaign. I believe Trump’s near assassination was not just the work of some random nut, but was part of a Deep State/Obama plot to once and for all eliminate Trump. Biden’s increasingly obvious senility in full view with the disastrous debate, cause another backroom deal to make Kamala the candidate and with heterosexual in the White House Obama’s dream of a single party Marxist state could be accomplished.
Trump’s triumphant return to the presidency left the Democratic Party in shambles and Obama in the wilderness. Now Obama’s coup attempt has been made manifest and could bring about his end.
Did he organize it or just go along with it? He must have had the final say, but the plan may already have been worked out.
