As Hillary Clinton and her aides continue to reel from their 2016 election defeat, they have now reportedly decided that former president Barack Obama deserves blame for what happened on November 8.
Ever since the election ended, Democrats have blamed people like FBI Director James Comey and Russian President Vladimir Putin for impacting the election with their respective actions. A new report from Axios’ Mike Allen, however, says that Clinton staffers are angry that Obama didn’t do more to help her deal with things like negative media coverage on her scandals and Russia’s efforts to sway the election.
Here’s what one Clinton official had to say:
“The White House was like everyone else: They thought she’d win anyway. … If he had done more, it might have lessened a lot of aggrieved feelings, although I don’t think it would have altered the outcome. The Russia thing was like a spy novel, and anything he had said or done would have helped get people to believe it was real.”
The reported conclusion among Clinton aides is that Obama should have come to Clinton’s defense earlier, and that he offered an inadequate response to the issues which clouded the public’s judgment. One Obama aide told Allen that the White House took a cautious approach to Russia because they didn’t want voters to think they were politicizing Russia’s hacking.
yawn
Of course... “O” has had a ‘slash and burn’ career and a ‘slash and burn’ Presidency.... What did the Democrats expect?
Another day, another scapegoat.
I’m just happy to know that Hillary is so upset over the loss that she is still angrily looking for people to blame three months later.
She lost because normal Americans hate her guts.
Now that 0bama passed up his chance to pardon her, the gloves come off.
I am not tired of winning. Not even CLOSE.
>>> Here’s what one Clinton official had to say
What Clinton “official”? Official of what?
What title? What department? What function?
Translation: He didn’t issue Hillary (and Bill?) an unconditional pardon before leaving office.
Obama could have announced the Obamacare rate increases anytime from October until after the election.
He chose to do so well before the election.
If the Hillary folks aren’t smart enough to know what that meant...no point in explaining it to them.
(Of course, one reason they didn’t _get it_ is because they don’t even know anyone who pays Obamacare rates.)
Pat Buchanan said years ago that the Republicans lost those voters if they didn’t change their views on trade and immigration...
Remember Obama said “I’m taking the entire month of Oct off to campaign for Hill”. Hahaha
Hussein had Zer0 cred with Trump voters. No one listened to him no matter what lies he was spewing. Try again...
It’s one of her BS groupies who has always been around her, just like flies on S&^T...only NOW she will have to pay them herself.
I think they’d kill one another fighting over her toenail clippings.
Any area within a couple of miles around her and Billy Boy is a REAL swamp!
Yes. Pat was ahead of his time. Read “The Great Betrayal “ - also “The Death of the West” - it’s all there.
Hopefully one of these days that bitch will look in the mirror and finally figure out that she and she alone was the reason why she was not elected.
Obama said he wasn’t worried about Russian hacking - why, because the election was in the bag. It was a non-event. It still is but they are screaming about it because the truth that the American electorate has thoroughly and convincingly rejected the Democrat Party is too painful to admit.
Fecal matter obeys gravitational imperatives.
It has been the Democrats’ own fault for not developing a farm team, grooming some former military officers, choosing good solid candidates in the “safe” districts and promoting them on a national scale, and doing the ground game in those districts where they already had a good relationship.
Instead, they jumped in to recruit from some very SMALL constituencies, making them their public face, rather than treating them like the props they are, and widely ignored the larger core groups, assuming, “Where else will they go?”
Stay home, or turn to Bernie Sanders, that’s where they went. And they never came back.
