Skipping Over Hillary And Obama Fights

New York Times reporter Peter Baker offered new insights into how badly former President Barack Obama reacted to Hillary Clinton losing the 2016 election. It came in a new edition of his book "Obama: The Call to History." But since Obama sounded whiny about how history unfolded, the news media don't want to talk about it.

Like every other leftist, Obama was shocked by the election results, thinking there was "No way Americans would turn" to Donald Trump, as Baker wrote. Obama's "legacy, he felt, was in safe hands." He could not believe the American people had "turned on him" for a man he had written off as a "cartoon."

Baker reported that Obama told his family, "This stings. ... This hurts," and blamed Clinton, who he felt "brought many of her troubles on herself" and ran a "scripted, soulless campaign."

"To Obama and his team," he wrote, "the real blame lay squarely with Clinton. ... She was the one who could not translate his strong record and healthy economy into a winning message."

When it comes to Trump, the media elites relish capturing and promoting every spoonful of Republican internal warfare, savoring every dollop of any Republican who trashes Trump behind his back. If the McCains and Flakes were to publicly denounce him on Capitol Hill, that would be covered. If they were nameless and faceless? That'd be news, too.

But when Democrats start ripping one another, they see it as Ma and Pa having a fight and hide it shamelessly. A sulking, sanctimonious Obama blasts Clinton -- and nothing. The networks haven't reported this, despite the source being a New York Times reporter. But this is funnier: It's also not in The New York Times. You have to go to the London Daily Mail or the Washington Examiner to find it.

The same trend was visible when Clinton claimed the election was "stolen" from her. At one of those Bill and Hillary Clinton speaking events (where the tickets can go for two bucks due to lack of interest), on May 4 in Los Angeles, she proclaimed: "I've been telling candidates who have come to see me, 'You can run the best campaign. You can even become the nominee. And you can have the election stolen from you.'"

The crowd broke into applause. Democrats could never defend the notion she ran "the best campaign." But they like the theory that the Russians stole it from her.

She is shameless. It's been 30 months since she lost, and she's still making excuses. She went on to insist the Mueller report "not only decisively proves but goes chapter and verse about how the Russians -- in the words of the report -- conducted 'a sweeping and systemic' interference in our election." That's the report written by a pack of lawyers who donated to her campaign (including one who reportedly attended her "victory party"). But the pack found no collusion with Trump.

he also ignores that Russian interference on social media often took both sides, not just Trump's side -- against "Islamophobia," and against Muslim refugees coming to America. They ran a Facebook page called "Blacktivist" that carried passionate denunciations of the criminal justice system and viral videos of police violence.

The media strongly denounced Donald Trump after an October 2016 debate for refusing to say whether he would accept the election results. But Hillary Clinton, like the press corps, can never accept what actually happened.

“”To Obama and his team,” he wrote, “the real blame lay squarely with Clinton. ... She was the one who could not translate his strong record and healthy economy into a winning message.””

Yeah, that’s the ticket, the “healthy Obama economy!” And now this Black Pr!ck has the temerity to try and run the notion by the country that what has happened to the economy this past two years was all due to his “groundwork!” Trump was simply “at the right place at the right time!”

[uncbob]

She certainly has staying power for someone whose health was in question during the election

[rawcatslyentist]

"She was the one who could not translate his strong record and healthy economy into a winning message."

DeeeLOLsional! Only Ebola, uh Usama, uh Hussein, could get away with that load of equine excrement.

[magua]

She didn’t lose she was beaten going away. Technical TKO on 9/11 when her trainers dumped her into the van. 80 electoral votes bye bye Miss American lie.

[Jimmy Valentine]

I have to confess that I love Clintons incessant whining and complaining. This sits like a chain around her ankle and every day she has to relive the 2016 election. She thought she was bringing Promethium fire to us Deplorables and instead is being eaten alive.

[vette6387]

“She didn’t lose she was beaten going away.”

True, but her deranged mind will not let go of that fact. A true narcissist, she cannot mentally process the loss. All of her recent commentary is probably a preamble to trying to wheedle her way back into the fray as a candidate yet again.

[relictele]

The ‘strong record’ and ‘healthy economy’ mantras have been repeated so often it appears that some of the left actually believe them.

Sanders, for one, is claiming that today’s metrics are actually the product of 2009 actions by Obama - a remarkable 10 years’ gestation.

[Quilla]

Right. Russia interfered with our election while Barry was President and PIAPS was Secretary of State. And this is President Trump’s fault? Jeeze Louise.

[unixfox]

Trump was simply “at the right place at the right time!”

Kinda like when Bill Xlinton was in the right place at the right time when the tech/internet boom occured?

[vette6387]

“Sanders, for one, is claiming that today’s metrics are actually the product of 2009 actions by Obama - a remarkable 10 years’ gestation.”

Coming from a man who has never done an honest day’s work in his life. The assets he’s “acquired “ recently are as a result of political payoffs not hard work, and his equally worthless wife should be in jail for what she did that sank the college for which she was president. That any citizen would give him the time of day is an insult to the rest of us.

[hsmomx3]

She’s still on her crybaby tour which never seems to end.

[StoneWall Brigade]

Hillary Clinton and Obama should both be hanged from the gallows for their high treason.

[AlanGreenSpam]

@magua - Great line: “bye bye Miss American lie!”

That would be a perfect epitaph for her when she finally expires.

[Liz]

Hillary now claims the election was "stolen" from her.

She's sounding more and more like that delusional dirigible, Stacey Abrams.

AAHHHHH, THOSE HEADY DAYS WHEN HILLARY WAS CONSIDERED A SHOO-IN-----Obama was shocked by the 2020 election results:
there was "No way Americans would turn" to Donald Trump. Obama's "legacy was safe only in the hands" of the
unbeatable Hillary. Obama could not believe Americans had "turned on him" for a man he had written off as a "cartoon."

Explains the goofy OMG face on the goon-faced Halfrican when he met the impressive president-elect.
The dirt Hillary was supposed to sweep under the rug is now in the hands of the man the Halfrican tried to destroy.

"After all we did for her, that lousy Hillary lost. "How’m I gonna get out of the mess I’m in?"
"I know, we’ll invent Russian collusion......lie like crazy.......setup Trump to take the blame.”

[Liz]

Let’s remember.....we, the people, have skin in this game.

US intel was appropriated by this gang and used by Democrats to attack and undermine a presidential candidate.

And when Trump was elected, they continued their attacks on a sitting president.

The final Mueller report is more than an exoneration of Trump. It’s a searing indictment of Obama’s FBI.......
and a reminder.....

We, the people, not only need to know ....we demand to know....the sordid details behind this unprecedented attack on a presidential candidate.

As Rep. Jim Jordan (Repub-OH) said, text messages between Page and Strzok, reveal FBI views of Trump that were more
than just biased, they actually show “animus” toward the president.

The attack on Trump was not individuals acting alone. The sinister plot was orchestrated by a sitting president with plenty to hide.

The Halfrican desperately needed Hillary to win......to sweep the wrongdoing under the rug.

Govt Intel is not a political tool......it is intended to protect the safety and security of Americans.

US intel was used for Obama’s sinister purposes.
