The Obama mouse that roared

Arutz Sheva

To understand what motivates Obama we must understand his deep and powerful animus against the incoming Trump administration.

"Obama has been perceived for the better part of the past 8 years by many of the world’s leadership as a spineless and weak leader, never feeling comfortable or really knowing how to implement the art of statesmanship. Obama caved in to Putin, the leader of Russia, caved into Assad, the embattled leader of Syria.

"China, Iran, North Korea, Libya, have all exhibited nothing but contempt for Obama who always backed down, stood down, and generally did nothing more than wag his Presidential tail.

"And then there was Israel.

"The objective of the recent Obama-concocted Security Council resolution against the State of Israel is nothing less than a betrayal of the US- Israel alliance and a message to Trump. The Security Council adopted a resolution that brands the Jewish presence in any part of Judea and Samaria ('West Bank') or in parts of Jerusalem as illegal will also make the eight hundred thousand Jews in these areas international outlaws. " . . . 

Petulant, vindictive Obama droppings on the American carpet.

Obama Will Never Leave You Alone  "When George W. Bush finished his second term, he quietly exited the national stage and allowed the age of Obama to begin without interference. Obama has no intention of affording his successor the same courtesy.

"He is a different man than Bush. He loves the spotlight too much to leave. He also knows that the press loves him more than Trump and will run to him for comment on everything Trump does.

If you thought you were rid of Obama, guess again.

"The Washington Examiner reports:" . . .

Obama unleashes 3,853 regs, 18 for every law, record 97,110 pages of red tape  "President Obama's lame duck administration poured on thousands more new regulations in 2016 at a rate of 18 for every new law passed, according to a Friday analysis of his team's expansion of federal authority.

"While Congress passed just 211 laws, Obama's team issued an accompanying 3,852 new federal regulations, some costing billions of dollars." . . .

Midnight meltdown as tipsy Trump-hater Don Lemon has mic cut off by CNN

Thomas Lifson  "CNN anchor Don Lemon has copped the honor of the first on-air Trump-hater meltdown of 2017, year one of the Trump presidency. Sour Lemon’s behavior was so disgraceful and out of place during a celebration of the New Year that the network brass cut his audio feed just after midnight when he began speak of “awful” 2016. But by then he already had been drinking on-air (quaffing tequila with co-host Brooke Baldwin), and had his ear pierced before viewers’ eyes.

"To be fair, Lemon has reason to dread 4 years of Trump:

. . .  "An embedded video is below of the travesty on the broadcast feed of a purported news network. Their decision on what to do about newsman Lemon’s unprofessionalism will tell us a lot about CNN's own professional standards.  As they are Trump-haters in a hole, I advise them to keep digging and pretend that nothing has happened."
