Obama says rise of Trump was racist reaction to 'having a black man in the White House', blasts President for birtherism and says the rot set into GOP when McCain named Sarah Palin as running mate
Daily Mail ^ | Nov. 12, 2020 | Emily Goodin

Barack Obama slams Republicans as xenophobic and paranoid in his forthcoming memoir, which focuses on his first term in the White House.

In the 768-page tome, entitled 'A Promised Land' and out on November 17, Obama reflects on his political career but divulges in the personal, admitting life in the White House increased his smoking habit and caused tension in his marriage with Michelle.

He also speaks to race relations in the United States, writing it was his own historic election as the nation's first black president that sparked some of the current division in the country.

'It was as if my very presence in the White House had triggered a deep-seated panic, a sense that the natural order had been disrupted,' Obama writes in the book, which was obtained by CNN.

Donald Trump, he claims, sensed the country's mood and took advantage of it to win the White House in the 2016 election.

'Which is exactly what Donald Trump understood when he started peddling assertions that I had not been born in the United States and was thus an illegitimate president. For millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House, he promised an elixir for their racial anxiety,' he writes.

what did his “typical white person” grandma have to say?

What’s been going on the last several months is the result of 0bama inviting Black Lies Matter to the White House as well as Al Sharpton. He was and still is the Racebaiter and Chief.

0bama is a mongrel (his own words) who capitalized on his “African” roots. Identify politics and victimhood rule the Democrat-Socialist Party.

Of course there are racists- here and across the world. I would venture a guess that most of us who voted against Obama did so because he’s a leftist, not because he’s black. If we all lived in Michigan I’d bet we’d have voted for John James.

He misunderstood our country as a candidate and as president- being a private citizen again doesn’t seem to have given him wisdom.

He’s unable to distinguish people who vehemently oppose policies of the left with racism and the other assorted phobias the left likes to accuse us of having. They always stop at appearances- unable to see deeper. Things like supporting school vouchers are “racist”. No! It’s the opposite! They offer a chance for minorities to grow and excel! To get out of the awful cycle of the hood.

Regardless- Obama seems to have permanent blind spots about the right. He’s dealt almost exclusively with the political class though- I think his experience with regular citizens is limited.

Gen Michael Flynn filed a third brief that made waves because it included texts between Obama's FBI analysts
admitting they knew the investigations of Flynn were bogus, and was driven by partisan animus. One Obama FBI texter confessed
they bought "professional liability insurance" b/c their illegal conduct might be exposed. This could entail insurance fraud
if the Obama people falsified insurance forms by failing to admit they had already committed wrongful acts.

EXCLUSIVE: Obama's Treasury Department Spied on Gen Flynn, and the Trump Family
beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, Says Whistleblower
The Ohio Star | 18 May 2020 | Neil W. McCabe / FR Posted by Erik Latranyi---snip---

NOTE WELL: Gen Flynn was tapped by Trump to replace Obama's NSA Susan Rice.......
Flynn would soon be privy too all of the Obama coterie's illegal activities against Trump.

Obama’s Treasury Department regularly surveilled retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, before, during and after when he served at the White House as President Donald Trump’s National Security Director, a former senior Treasury Department official, and veteran of the intelligence community, told the Star Newspapers. “I started seeing things that were not correct, so I did my own little investigation, because I wanted to make sure what I was seeing was correct” she said. “You never want to draw attention to something if there is not anything there.” The whistleblower said she only saw metadata, that is names and dates when the general’s financial records were accessed. “I never saw what they saw.”

By March 2016, the whistleblower said she and a colleague, who was detailed to Treasury from the intelligence community, became convinced that the surveillance of Flynn was not tied to legitimate criminal or national security concerns, but was straight-up political surveillance among other illegal activity occurring at Treasury. “When I showed it to her, what she said, ‘Oh, sh%t!’ and I knew right then and there that I was right – this was some shady stuff,” the whistleblower said. “It wasn’t just him,” the whistleblower said. “They were targeting other U.S. citizens, as well.”

Only two names are listed in the whistleblower’s official paperwork, so the others must remain sealed, she said. The second name is Paul J. Manafort Jr., the one-time chairman of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The other names Obama spied in include: Members of Congress, the most senior staffers on the 2016 Trump campaign and members of Trump’s family, she said. (Excerpt) Read more at theohiostar.com ...

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

The “Members of Congress” being spied upon by Obama could be a goldmine of info. Betcha good money, Obama was spying on DEMOCRATS. Was Obama checking to see if Democrats were holding out on his share of the graft?

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

Obama’s Treasury Dept (where Obama placed his COS Rham Emanuel in charge) regularly surveilled
retired Gen Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in Dec 2015 and well into 2017

<><>Why was Flynn targeted in 2015?
<><> What had he done to incur scrutiny?
<><> Did this begin with one person with a grudge against Flynn
<><> or was there more to it?
<><> Who started targeting Flynn in 2015 ?
<><> What did the Obama admin have on Flynn back then?

and the FakeNewsMSM could capture a single photo of Obama and his increased smoking! lol.

Obama was more of the same old same old, and many Black Americans were, ultimately, disappointed.

it is Donald Trump who rocked the Deep State and overturned the “natural order” of the crony politicians of both parties - not you, Obama.

“Nah, Bath House, you’re wrong, as always. It wasn’t your Black half that we detested, it was your malodorous, traitorous, communist, America-hating, narcissistic self wrapped up in your black AND white halves that we found execrably objectionable.

“Your personality and your policies lit a new sh i t storm of degenerate behavior and terror around the world. You would have destroyed civilisation with glee, to fill the immature Daddy longing that has shaped your whole, evil, vile self. You are evil, Barry, but I know you take the most pride of all in that fact.

“God in Heaven says no man is beyond redemption, but you, Barry, are no man.

Coming from the guy who single-handily set race relations back several decades. Go crawl back under the covers with Reggie, you snake.

Obama should have quietly retired and built his presidential library. But he didn’t. Game on.

Obama meant “A Kenyan”. He’s not a Black American to me. He could say he’s a Kenyan American, that label is accurate. He is not descended from American slaves.

You’re right, B-HO. At the end, your only contribution was that you were the first black man to usurp the office. Actually, you’re only half black, but considered black only due to societal defaults, so you were even only half assed at that contribution.
