The media love to compare the “thin-skinned” Donald Trump with the cool, insouciant Barack Obama who never lets anything rattle him.
But is that really true?
You be the judge.
While Obama has been smiling through a so-called “victory lap” with 60 Minutes, The New York Times and other liberal outlets, we’ve been talking to a source who portrays a far different picture—an angry, deeply hurt, and depressed Obama, who can’t get over his party’s defeat at the polls, which he takes as a personal rebuke by the American public.
This source has visited the Obama White House on numerous occasions over the past eight years. He’s slept in the Lincoln Bedroom, dined with the Obama family in the Residence, and received regular updates on the psychological temperature in the Oval Office.
This week, Ed Klein Confidential is going to allow this unimpeachable source speak in his own voice. Here’s his verbatim report about the thin-skinned Obama:
“Barack can’t wait to get out of the White House. It is now the grimmest place in the world. The atmosphere is funereal: everybody looks like they just lost their best friend and their dog.
“Barack is supposed to be cheering people up but he can barely muster a smile. He knows there is nothing much he can do to make his staff feel any better. And it’s just getting worse, with Trump rolling out his Cabinet picks.
“Barack says his whole staff needs counseling to get over their grief. But Barack, Michelle, and Valerie Jarrett have gone from trying to comfort the staff to avoiding them.
“Valerie says that Barack is the worst she has ever seen him. He is grumpy and snaps at people. Michelle is worse; she’s enraged.
“Valerie says she has tried to keep the Obamas separated during the work day, because they bring each other down even more.
“Everybody believes that once it’s over and the Obamas move into their new house in D.C., things will be better. But as long as they are in the White House, it is a constant reminder that Donald Trump is preparing to move in and replace them.
“The only thing that makes them feel better are plans to stop Trump from getting things done. From what Valerie says, that is going to be Barack’s main job going forward—leading the resistance to Trump.
“But Valerie also says that Barack is so distraught right now that he can’t even focus on fighting Trump.”
“Valerie says that Barack is the worst she has ever seen him. He is grumpy and snaps at people. Michelle is worse; she’s enraged.”
People’s true character comes out when the chips are down. It easy to be cheerful and pleasant when things are going your way.
......hey Val, you think he’s depressed now, wait until he hears the ratchet type clicking of hand cuffs!
you too B !!
Obama is going to find out just how irrelevant he is when he becomes simply another player on K street.
He is still blaming everybody but himself. Instead of trying to be a great president and pick up followers he has insulted the Republican half of all US adults by calling them names and leaving them out of all consideration except to blame them.
He has threatened time and again to impose harsh Stalin-like threats and rules and penalties on those who believe differently (from him). He has refused to do the things that would bring the country back to growth and instead he has narrowed American options whenever he could. He has defied the constitution. He has defied the courts. He still defies the Congress with his pen and his phone whenever he can get away with doing so.
“Valerie says that Barack is the worst she has ever seen him. He is grumpy and snaps at people. Michelle is worse; she’s enraged.”
It was wonderful to hear President Trump say about his lovely wife: “We don’t fight, we get along very well, we are very compatible.”
Can you imagine what it must be like living with the angry Chewbacca?
Obviously, Obama’s sad and angry to be leaving the best job he’s ever had, but Ed Klein’s sources aren’t always reliable. They tend to tell him whatever he wants to hear. And they may not actually be people with inside information.
The world wonders.
“Valerie Jarrett”
And what sort of destruction does this reptilian alien plan to do after leaving the White Hut?
I do wonder whether she'll continue to live under the same roof as the Obamas, if only to benefit from the Secret Service protection.
Move back to Iran..........
I’m going with you on the lazy thing. If he can pontificate, he will. But actually, you know, werk? Not a chance. He doesn’t know how.
If it was a choice between my dog and Obama,
my dog would LIVE.
After reading the article I am even more convinced that contrary to what Rush says, this guy is GONE by summer.
Yes, his head will pop up every now and then, and he’ll try to blast President Trump for one thing or another, but Trump is going to let him have it with both barrels, and he’ll run like a raped ape.
Goodbye and good riddings!
If the Kenyan Halfrican is depressed this week, next week will be the worst week of his life.
As day by day,Hundreds of Ex. Orders are signed erasing the “Legacy” of Obama.
I hope when Pres. Trump is asked about it, he replies ‘I have a pen and a Phone. Oh and we Won.’
Friday, we’ll sing the Happy Happy Joy Joy song from Ren and Stimpy! (YouTube)
“Sorry, not going to buy this info from some super secret source.”
Indeed. I would LOVE for this to be true, but after all it’s just another one of those “anonymous sources” stories, i.e., fake news.
It would be a small league, but I could go for “White House Alumni Cage Fighting.”
