President Obama is dishing out a much rockier transfer of power to Donald Trump than he received from his predecessor eight years ago, from accusing the president-elect of being aided by Russian hackers to first lady Michelle Obamas complaint that the nation has lost hope. Despite pledging a smooth and efficient transition on the day after Mr. Trumps victory, Mr. Obama has presided over an increasingly acrimonious war of words between the White House and the president-elects team.
The awkward transfer of power stands in stark contrast to the cooperative atmosphere fostered by Republican George W. Bushs White House in 2008, when Mr. Obama was preparing to take office. Obama advisers still talk about the example of unity.
The Obama administrations bitterness and disappointment over Hillary Clintons loss erupted into the open last week as the presidents spokesman, Josh Earnest, accused Mr. Trump for four consecutive days of encouraging Russias suspected meddling in the election and ignoring the ramifications.
Earnest seems to want to delegitimize the election, said Republican strategist John Feehery. Its very dangerous and seemingly counter to the wishes of the president.
Former Obama adviser David Axelrod went further, saying it was highly unlikely that the White House press secretary would take a weeks worth of verbal shots at Mr. Trump without the presidents approval.

Expect Obama to continue the BS. He will antagonize until Trump finally “puts him down” Obama is strong at “NOTHING”. He folds like a cheap suit every time. Lets the media carry his water. Now the media is decimated he has nothing to offer. Let him slide into obsecurity.
More tranny than wife....
The Jeffersons are about done.
Every time I hear Michelle’s voice, that theme song starts up in my head. If they were white, it would be as if Homer Simpson had won the presidency.
Completely predictable, called this last week.
The drained swamp will reveal traceable skeletons exposing traitors.
Another month to put up with this damned enemy islamist homo....
He will yet do a lot of damage to the US.
What goes unsaid is that it really doesn’t matter whether Zero wants to play nice or not. Agencies and contractors already have been formalizing their relationships with the Trump Transition Office which is humming away under the radar (because idiot protestors don’t need to know about it) in downtown DC, getting ready to hit the ground running on 1/20/17.
And since everyone in Fedgov apart from VA is operating under Continuing Resolutions (there hasn’t been an actual budget in this decade) they could not do a damn thing till the end of March and nobody would even notice.
Barry and michael are hate-filled, lying scumbags.
It’s the difference between a republic and a purist democracy.
Exactly. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Demonrat’s have never ever had class. Obama will be another of the Carter, Clinton mold backbiter trying to be relevant.
As heard on Fat Albert, “Holidays are here again. No class”.
How cute! The boy king is gonna have a pitty party. Hope he, Merkel and Maduro have good time.
Wants to follow in the footsteps of Clinton when he left office.
Obama keeps forgetting that he is antagonizing a street smart New Yorker. Trump may not say anything but Obama will get the message when his commissars start getting indicted and begin to tell all to save themselves hard time. Payback will hurt.
Bingo! It’s Trumps justice department now.
I’m going to defend George Jefferson here by pointing out that he worked hard to develop a chain of dry-cleaning stores and compete in the marketplace.
Anyone listening anymore? Anyone?
Yeah. But we know who wore the pants in that family. :-)
The part I worry about is the (lefty) career government employees shredding evidence and refusing to cooperate with the new administration. Note: You can’t just up and fire gov. employees very easily.
That is because Muslims always lie. But still they will go into the dust bin of history. Islam is one of the reasons God had to build Hell.
