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.”

Who Cares, Obama is history.


Obama is not history. He has the means and support to cause a lot of mischief. It is good that President Trump is putting him on notice that he will be attacked.

The best thing Obama could do would be to leave Washington DC and retire to Hawaii. I am betting he thinks he is smarter than President Trump and so will stay in Washington doing dark deeds in dark corners.

:^)

Obama was similiarly “livid” over DJT’s pointing out Obama was ineligible for the presidency....and it goaded Obama into producing a FAKE copy of a birth ‘document’***

Let’s see what FAKE document(s) Obama produces now, ha ha!

(*** a FAKE copy of a ‘document’ that would not have made Obama eligible even had it been real..)

This article sounds like the proud obama... I am so glad he’s not on TV answering questions for an hour each question..

obama elevated himself way above any level he could ever reach, given he is a snake in the grass. He elevated himself to be the best President ever, but he is very low on any scale. He elevated himself to be worthy of being the President of the United States, his skin color gave him everything he wanted by those who were too chicken to call a spade a spade. He elevated himself to perfection and no one had better question him.

The media fed him with false adoration.. he thought everyone loved him... but that didn’t pan out in the election. Not that he will ever admit hillary lost because we were fed up with him!

Democrats do seem to get upset when you tell the truth about them.

Ah, but Trump laid traps of his own. The first one being the statement “We had a very good chemistry”.

My guess is that lulled 0vomit into a false sense that he was getting away with this scott free.

Isn’t there a lawyer saying about when the facts aren’t on your side, pound on the law, and when the law isn’t on your side, pound on the facts, and when neither is on your side, pound on the table?

0bozo has no facts. Fake indignation is about the only card he’s got left to play.

Soon it will be game over. Trump for the win.

Good!

Obama is a worthless b##tch who has NEVER had to work for anything and has NEVER had anyone stand up to him.....I hope and PRAY this worthless punk suffers nothing but heartache the rest of his life and bless President Trump for standing up to this PUNK.

Has Obamba himself made a brief state on this epic story regarding wire taping? Not even one single public comment? Maybe since he's a private citizen he's just too busy and doesn't have time.☺

It’s MORE valid than their “evidence-free claim” that Russian hacking stole the election for Trump.

including his evidence-free claim that Obama tapped his phones at Trump Tower....

At least the article is fair and balanced :)

I kinda' like Obama's own expression "all wee wee'd up" myself & I'm betting that would be accurate. :-)

I can just see him stamping his little foot, arms folded, and his little lower lip curled down.

He finally worked out with his handlers how to respond.

Obama, I guarantee you that if this is true, you have no comprehension as to how I (and others too, I’m sure) with logical thought, knowledge and an understanding of history think about you. If you might even think that we might be as upset as you are now, you are so mistaken in that our upset at you and the people who put you there and support you is akin to comparing a mustard seed to the sun. So, be quiet...shhhh....be quiet. Don’t talk publicly. You only make it worse.
