EXCLUSIVE: 'This stings!' How Obama saw Trump's victory as a 'personal insult'
Daily Mail ^ | 5-02-2019 | Daniel Bates

Posted on 05/02/2019 2:00:18 PM PDT by ZagFan

The former president went from being confident that Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump to seeing it as a 'personal insult' that she lost.

Obama could not believe the American people had 'turned on him' for a man he had written off as a 'cartoon'.

As the dust settled Obama told his family that 'this hurts' and blamed Clinton who 'brought many of her troubles on herself' and ran a 'scripted, soulless campaign'.

The eye-popping details are in the new edition of 'Obama: The Call Of History' by New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker.

Isn’t that prick full of himself?! Hey, Dumbo, anybody with half a brain knew that you were an empty suit. Trump has managed to repair some of the damage you did, but still has a way to go. Winning!

Romney WINNING in 2012 would have been essentially much better than losing? America would NEVER have been able to get a Republican-majority Senate in 2014.

The Obamacare debacle assured the resurgence of the Republicans. If a similar Romneycare proposal had been made which would have provided the “fixes” the Obamacare needed, Senate Democrats could have continued in majority until 2016, as Romney would have virtually NO coattails, and the popular revulsion against the government-sponsored health program would have doomed the Republican majority in the House.

Thus paving the way and making it MUCH easier for Herself in 2016.

We dodged a bullet there.

“I want his name erased from the minds of men, forever.”

I prefer people remember him. Every lie, condescending smirk and arrogant word he spoke. Every round of golf, every bow to a foreign leader, every time he spoke ill of law enforcement and every radical friend he had along the way.

So that the masses may never forget.

Polis was certainly surprised when he met with rural folks the other day. He was totally surprised and clearly didn't have a clue as to why people were so upset. This is after he and the Colorado Democrats rammed through legislation attacking our 2nd amendment rights, energy production, forcing our kids to learn that homosexuality is good....

Every time obama takes a breath, I see it as a personal insult.

Well, Trump was all but specifically elected because Obama was THAT bad. So he should take it as a personal insult.

And he should expect to be charged for capital crimes in the future as well.

The “investigate the investigators” bit should have been long done by now.

It’s time to incarcerate, hold trials, then execute them. No bail - they’re all certain flight risks.

Yeah, sort of took the air out of that ‘drop the mic’ moment on one of the talk shows. “...at least I was president...”

We’re not entirely sure he was. You have to be eligible to be an official president. Otherwise you were just a fraud, and in need of a lifetime life sentence.

Narcissist. 2016 Best Election Ever!

**************

He sure is. Every event becomes self referential to the narcissist. He is obsessed with himself and is a pathological narcissist of the highest order.

He was also the most corrupt president ever with his weaponizing of the IRS, DOJ and the FBI. Spying on his opponents and members of the Supreme Court and many more. Hopefully it all comes out and soon. Willing to bet he was spying on Jeb, Marco and all the rest of them.

Obama was that bad of a President that he had to be rebuked in a severe way.

Oh, I think they will remember him for years to come, but it will be for his weaponizing the government against his political opponents. He’s going to get rolled up in Barr’s investigations. Its just a matter of time before the Obama White House gets implicated for its involvement in the FISAgate corruption.

Obama knew. He had to know. And Barr knows it.
