During The Lead With Jake Tapper, former State Department spokeswoman and Obama communications director under President Obama Jen Psaki accused President Trump's new nickname for the former President, "Cheatin' Obama" of having racial undertones.
President Trump, who has become known for branding opponents in both political parties with nicknames, finally unveiled a nickname for his predecessor. When pointing to a Rasmussen poll showing that he had a 50 percent approval rating, the President said that his approval rating was higher than that of Cheatin Obama at the same time during his presidency.
Host Jake Tapper asked Psaki, now a CNN contributor, for her take on the nickname. According to Psaki:Given Trumps history, you can also guess that he might have, there might be racial undertones there. He was the founder of the birther movement. Perhaps Im going to a very evil place with that but I think that history tells us thats a possibility.
Tapper then asked her if you think hes saying that because hes black he cheats? She responded: Who knows, adding that without the context of his history, she would not have attributed such sinister motives to the nickname. She also discounted the Rasmussen poll, stressing that the rolling averages have more significance than individual polls: Its sort of sad, actually, that hes grabbing this outlier poll.
As for the birther movement, lets remember who started it. Before President Obama could face off against the Republicans, he had to get past Hillary Clinton; who many initially viewed as the frontrunner for the Democratic Partys presidential nomination in the 2008 presidential election. The Democratic primary that year closely divided the Democratic Party with Appalachian voters and older voters supporting Clinton while younger voters and African-Americans supported Obama.
Painting Obama as an outsider was one of the tactics used by Clinton campaign staffers in an attempt to boost her candidacy. Clinton confidante Sid Blumenthal had asked McClatchys James Asher to look into whether or not President Obama was born in Kenya. In addition, pollster Mark Penn had encouraged the Clinton campaign to focus on the young Illinois Senators lack of American roots and emphasize the fact that she was born in the middle of America in the middle class in the middle of the last century.
CNN has spent quite a bit of time trying to paint President Trump as a racist this week by pointing to his tweets about illegal immigration. President Trumps new nickname for President Obama seems like the latest exhibit that Psaki and friends will use in their attempt to the President as a racist in the court of public opinion.
All of these coconspirator criminals should be exiled for the rest of their malignant, worthless lives. Pox on all of them.

I hate people who hate people who hate.
I won’t stands fer it I tells ya!
I’ll bet she calls him Mocha Barry.
Yet more race mongering from Ryan Foley. The whole meme about Obama is that ANY criticism of Obama the liberal Alinsky fascist is somehow “racist,” another quick draw McGraw with a race card.
Cheatin’ Obama is a good term. It is wholesome because Barrack Obama tried to destroy American institutions at every turn in order to establish his draconian utopia.
This is a great article on why Cheatin’ Obama is a highly appropriate name:

It was considered racist for any white man to criticize any Obama policy. I had to shoot down that argument more than once.
Racists see racism everywhere. It’s their vile leftism destroying what’s left of their feeble minds.
A: "Obama was a bad president."
B: "Is 'B' saying that because Obama is [half] Black he was a bad president?"
C: "That's exactly the problem: We can't know for sure!"

Oh, that’s a relief. Now, if it had overtones we would have something to worry about, but undertones definitely gets a pass.
Right guy: “We’ve got to put a stop to these rapists, thugs, drug dealers, cheaters, street criminals ...”
MSNBCNN host: “That’s racist dog whistles”
Right guy: “I’m talking about criminals of any race”
MSNBCNN: “No! When we see that, we know you’re talking about blacks and Mexicans! You right-wing racists just want to keep them down!”
The sad faces of people who weren’t getting America destroyed fast enough
I still use the term “magic negro”.
I don’t give a damn if obamma is black.
I do give a damn that he hates America, hates Christians and is a homosexual.
Jen, ya ignorant slut ...
