Liberal Media Turns on Obama (After all these years ...)
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | December 16, 2016 | Natalie Johnson

Posted on 12/16/2016 5:08:34 PM PST by Kaslin

resident Obama delivered a longwinded lecture to the press on Friday about its “unfair” treatment of Hillary Clinton during the campaign, drawing ire from mainstream journalists.

The president, who was delivering his final 2016 news conference, implied the media’s “obsession” with Clinton’s leaked emails did more damage to the former secretary of state than the Russian cyber attacks against Democratic political networks.

“This was an obsession that dominated the news coverage,” Obama said. “So I do think it is worth us reflecting how it is that a presidential election of such importance, of such moment, with so many big issues at stake and such a contrast between the candidates came to be dominated by a bunch of these leaks.”

Obama also spent much of the press conference defending his foreign policy legacy. He spoke at length about the decaying situation in Syria, conceding that while he felt personally responsible for some of the bloodshed, he still believes he did all that he could.

Journalists from outlets including the Huffington Post, MSNBC, and CNN took to Twitter to sound off their frustration with the president’s last speech of the year.

Liberal Media Turns on Obama

homobama is such a horn dog.

Reminds me of the time when he showed his erection to the media on his plane, and in response, the media laughed.

Worst. Erection. Ever.

Most of the media ignored or barely mentioned the emails.

That SOB Obama is going to pardon Hillary.

Can he pardon himself?

I don’t blame the media, to be accused of undermjning Hitlary, when in reality they did all humanly possible to bury the story which proved to be a task of sisyphusian proportions

They traded their honor and manhood for a worthless “Obama Fan Boy” membership card.

They can never recover either one.

No memory still of Obama spying on the Washington press to read stories and learn sources, yet we should worry about the Russians?

They practically never even admitted there was an email issue. No healthy issue, no email issue.

0bama just blatantly lied about this supposed "obsession", and everyone who was watching the Propaganda Media for the last year and a half knows darn well that they avoided Hillary's email server issue like the plague, not to mention the Clinton Foundation criminality.

What an idiot this man is, to think that anyone, inside the Media or out, would swallow such a total crock of sh!t...

The MSM did their best to ignore WikiLeaks. They had to follow their viewers who were all talking about it. They lost some control of the narrative this election cycle.

The 0bomb forgot the wall-to-wall coverage of Trump’s “bimbo eruption” and the “locker room talk recording” that far eclipsed MSM coverage of Hillary Wiki-leaked emails. Trump weathered the storm and kept on trucking while Hildebeest took to her bed.

it would be swell if the msm began questioning dear leader and demanding he release his birth record in light of Sheriff Joe’s evidence which suggests the one they presented was a fraud

Everything out of his mouth is to prime the pump for big buck donations to his tax-free foundations (two that we know of).

Valerie jots it all down....and ....bingo....he's got another fund solicitation letter ready to go. (Valerie musta went nuts trying to spin Trump's win into a plus for Obama).

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

This dangerous megalomaniac clearly got into American politics under false pretenses.

His disgusting European apology tour certainly proved his rank hatred of America. His capabilities in office demonstrated a remarkable proclivity for looting the US Treasury.

In it only for the money, you say? You betcha. The Washington Times says he leaves office as a billionaire.....and plans to shake the money tree bigtime (coached by those practiced grifting experts....the Clintons).

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

The clock is ticking, his time in the White House is fading....but Obama is not going quietly. Boobamba left Americans a divided nation, trillions in debt, and a cartload of parasitic freeloaders sucking up our tax dollars, many of whom plan to kill us.

If that wasnt enough Boobamba says he intends to stay active....to take years and years to transform America even more. He's proud he fundamentally transformed the nation we loved into a violent, hate-filled place.

All of this is fodder for his foundations. The reality is the Boob and the missus got rich in office and intend to get even richer via an endless presidency......ala the crooked Clintons.
