Obama said to be ‘livid’ over Trump wiretapping claim
Yahoo News ^ | 8 Mar 2017 | Dylan Stableford

President Trump’s recent Twitter attacks against former President Barack Obama, including his evidence-free claim that Obama tapped his phones at Trump Tower before the election, have apparently put a strain on what Trump had recently described as their unlikely friendship.

An Obama aide told the Wall Street Journal that the former president was “livid” over the accusation that he ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower.

Obama believes Trump “was questioning both the integrity of the office of the president” and Obama himself, according to “people familiar with his thinking,” the Journal reported Wednesday.

But Obama ultimately “decided he wouldn’t respond to every intemperate Trump tweet.”

In interviews during the transition and first few weeks of the new administration, Trump bragged about a budding friendship with Obama.

“We had a very good chemistry,” Trump said after his first meeting with Obama following the election. “I found him to be terrific. I found him to be — very smart and very nice. Great sense of humor, as much as you can have a sense of humor talking about tough subjects, but we were talking about some pretty tough subjects.”

I assume that the CIA has tapped Hussein as well as Trump. Perhaps someone needs to show him THAT surveillance as an inducement to have him go back to Hawaii and choom and eat shaved ice.

If he was livid, or even merely agitated over anything, it was about being CAUGHT! Integrity? Pshaaw! Obunga can’t even spell it.

What I like best in that graphic is the bylines in the first Times captures. Michael S. Schmidt, both times. They don't even try to hide it anymore. "Oh, did I say there was illegal recording? That statement is now...inoperative." We've come full circle: the media have become Nixon and the President is becoming the media.

The Would-Be Dictator-In-Chief still thinks he is above the law. He thinks he WAS the law.

The lying leftist fascists. Can’t wait for them to be gone.

So exasperated he’s probably having trouble enjoying his three-ways with Valerie and Michelle.

“livid”???

Other sources are reporting him as just “irked” & “exasperated”.

My money is on "cross."

“Does Hussein have a podium with the seal of the “Muzzie Bro of the White Mosque” on it?”

Well when he was first elected, he created “The Seal of the Office of the President in Waiting,” so it follows that he must have some sort of “post presidential seal” behind which to operate.

"...including his evidence-free claim that Obama tapped his phones..."

When will an article editorialize with something like...

"...Obama, an established liar, believes Trump was questioning both the integrity of the office of the president and Obama, himself,..."

Nobody gets as angry as someone who has done something devious, he gets caught at it and he knows the persons who apprehended him have him dead to rights, and there is absolutely no defense.

It is not difficult to imagine the Former Occupant of the White Hut, 2009-2017, in a absolutely black rage.

Of course he is. Taking O-blamer away from his daily round of golf with the .001%ers, followed by ballin' in da hood.

Yeah...

Al Capone was livid when the IRS mentioned tax evasion, too.

I was livid in the 1990’s, really livid since 2008, super duper livid since 2012.

WikiLeaks proved 0bama’s CIA Tapped EVERYONE ALL THE TIME.

Then, 0bama allowed the infinite tapping of everyone including TRUMP to be circulated among 16 agencies, control free.

If that’s not 0bama tapping Trump, nothing is.

Or the NYT headline? I guess Yahoo doesn’t subscribe.

Meh. Either does anyone else.
