What a smug piece of shite. I call it fricking karma.

quote:

Former President Obama took President Trump’s win and Hillary Clinton’s loss in 2016 as a personal insult, according to a newly updated book.

The former president was “shocked” by the election results and felt the American people had turned on him, The Washington Examiner reported, citing New York Times correspondent Peter Baker’s book “Obama: The Call of History.” It was originally published in 2017. He was also reportedly frustrated by Hillary Clinton’s “soulless” campaign after believing his legacy “was in safe hands.”

Clinton apologized to Obama after the election, according to Baker, saying “I’m sorry for letting you down.” He writes, “To Obama … [s]he was the one who could not translate his strong record and healthy economy into a winning message." Baker also says Obama was incredulous that voters replaced him with a “buffoonish clown” known for “repeated bankruptcies, serial marriages and racist dog whistles.”

What strong record and economy? Barry is a hack fraud, half the voters gave him the middle finger when they voted Trump in, and rightfully so.

It’s not surprising that a man who can’t speak to any group without referencing himself less than 300 times took her loss personally.

His legacy?

It was in safe hands; the hands of rejection...immediate rejection. No other President has been so immediately rejected once they left office.

So if Hillary was carrying "his legacy" no wonder she lost.

Besides the MSM still pumping him up, his Presidency was smoke and mirrors by the MSM and everything he stood for has been rejected. (If it was ever him or just the mouthpiece of something else as a good teleprompter orator and bad March Madness prognosticator and staunch Muslim sympathizer.)

Is he fricking serious? I get that Obama is a career community organizer and university professor who hasn’t ever accomplished anything in the private sector, but was our president really too stupid to understand the nature of Trump’s “bankruptcy filings” I.E. debt restructuring? It doesn’t surprise me that he’s actually that stupid and arrogant but it’s hard to see it in writing

Of course it was. Obama himself was on the campaign trail for months saying his legacy was on the ballot.

You saw how it turned out.

And yes, Trump flushed Obama's entire Presidency down the toilet within the first year.

He had his 8 years. Who the American people choose as his replacement is none of his damn business.

repeated bankruptcies


The guy has owned or partially owned dozens of businesses in his life. 4 times, businesses that he either owned outright or had significant investment in went belly up. He still was involved with many more that were profitable. But somehow as soon as he became a serious Presidential candidate, the story was that Trump himself had declared bankruptcy several times. Still shake my head when I hear that BS.

I don't believe for a minute that Hillary apologized to Obama.

Obama even likened himself to Michael Corleone in the Godfather movies and said he was handing power over to somebody who would destroy his legacy.

Obama's entire presidency was a personal insult to every decent, loyal American citizen.
