No-Drama Obama Versus Trump 'Chaos'
IBD via RCP ^ | 3-22-2018 | Larry Elder

Posted on 03/22/2018 5:28:48 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Conservative watchdog organization Media Research Center examined the nightly news coverage of President Donald Trump on ABC, NBC and CBS in January and February and concluded that the stories were 91 percent negative. One consistent narrative, particularly given the recent firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, is that "chaos" reigns in the Trump White House.

Never mind that President Barack Obama went through four secretaries of defense and five chiefs of staff. Obama, goes the narrative, calmly navigated the country during his eight-year tenure. Trump, on the other hand, is reckless, dangerous, undisciplined and out of control.

Never mind that the U.S. consumers' confidence is at a level not seen since the early 2000s. Forget the increased value in the stock market, and the appreciation in average home value since the beginning of the Trump presidency. ISIS fighters have been killed or surrendered in the thousands. North Korea's Kim Jong Un has agreed to resume talks about "denuclearization." The Middle East did not set itself on fire when Trump agreed to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. After nearly 14 months, even many Democrats admit they still, after a year of investigations, see no evidence of "collusion" between Russia and the Trump campaign.

But things just look ... chaotic.

(snip)

Obama, who supposedly governed without drama, delivered the worst recovery since 1949. On the economy and on foreign policy, he signed costly legislation and pushed counterproductive policies. Do Americans want a president who ultimately does the right thing or a president who racks up style points while making one blunder after another?

Style points? Why am I reminded of the Warsaw Pact judges during the Olympics back when the Soviet Union ruled them? The Soviet gymnast falls but the East Germans and Bulgarians still gives him 9.9.

Obama was an empty chair and never really said anything at all. All his people were doing and speaking for him, including the teleprompter.

No-drama as a robot is about right

Obama is a Constitutional Scholar.

It’s just that no one can figure out what Constitution from what country, or perhaps planet,he was a Scholar.

Don’t argue.
Yes, he was a constitutional expert.
That is a undisputed fact in my neck of the woods.

He understood sharia.
Nothing about America nor its culture, history nor heritage.
Just sharia.

That is why he had global appeal amongst the marxist muslim coalition attacking Europe today with the UN. Those are his loyalists.

And everything Obama did, right down to his choice for breakfast, was applauded by the media.

Quite unlike what's occurring with the current occupant of the White House.

Obviously, that makes a HUGE difference in how the public perceives a president and his administration on a day-to-day basis.

Rumors persist that Obama wasn't born here. Like the fictional Philip Nolan.....”The Man Without a Country,” Obama seems to have renounced our nation......acts like he never heard of the United States of America. Even more egregious one could conclude Obama might have given explicit orders.......”no one in this party should ever mention the United States of America ever again.”

Seems more at home in Kenya

It's about time the Obama Crime Syndicate and his Police State operations are investigated. We are beginning to get a better picture of how sinister the Obama operation really is (it's still functioning via his non-profit OFA out of his DC residence). The malignant genesis of the Democrats' "win at any cost" odious Russia misinformation campaign is suddenly clearer.

BACKSTORY Through the last half of 2016, the Obama administration was desperately searching for evidence of some link between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.

<><> They went to great lengths, falsifying requests, twice seeking, then finally obtaining, a court-ordered FISA, that allowed them to spy on at least one Trump associate.

<><> We now know that Obama's NSA henchman, Susan "The Sifter" Rice, had an operation wherein raw NSA intelligence was sifted through for names of Trump associates, in hopes of uncovering dirt of some sort. These efforts came up dry. The Obama administration found no compromising information about Trump or any of his associates.

<><> Ever since the Trump Inauguration, the Democratic Party, especially its NY/DC press wing, has relentlessly pushed the Trump/Russia story. But that hasn’t stopped Democrat factotums in the press from talking about little else for the last three months.

<><>This is the kicker----- all along, the Democrats have known that their spying produced nothing.

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

This whole Obama/Comey/Mueller/Democrat spy apparat is almost unbelievably sordid. The relevant Congressional committees should investigate thoroughly, and criminal prosecutions should follow where laws have been broken.

The tumultuous events that unfolded after the election and reelection of Barack Obama bring to mind the words of author Mary Shelley when her character, Victor Frankenstein, says: “I live in daily fear lest the evil monster whom I created should perpetrate

Leftists have their noses so buried up Obamas backside that they can’t see any scandals

Well, I pin that on SCOTUS, specifically Obergefell v. Hodges and one single SC justice Anthony Kennedy.

The Obama era could have been real dramatic if he had been properly removed from the White House & brought to justice as he should have been.
