COMMENTS POSTED TO ARTICLES IN SPUTNIK
After 8 years of almost complete failure in everything he
has tried, Obama is determined to leave office like a petulant brat, making
charges without substance.
This generation of Democrats - Obama, Clinton - is a pitiful
lot.
They've done nothing for their own people.
They've started wars to kill tens of thousands.
They've introduced extrajudicial killing on an industrial
scale.
And they lost an election, displaying nothing but poor
attitudes afterwards.
Now, they are trying to "poison the well" for
Trump.
Obama surely goes down as one of the worst presidents in
history.
I do think, too, the Democratic Party, dominated as it has
been by the Clintons and their money-connections, is now likely to go through
quite a crisis.
Hillary, always a huge spender in elections, spent well over
a billion dollars, and some of her donors want details of what was done with
it.
They are not happy. Hillary, as always, made some bad
choices.
Both of the Clintons face serious charges over their crooked
Clinton Foundation when the investigations are through.
There are rumors that the Clintons have lawyers negotiating
some kind of pardon from Obama before he leaves office, but that may not be
possible.

Part of Putin’s words
responding to Obama’s attack:
“We reserve the right
to retaliate, but we will not sink to the level of this irresponsible ‘kitchen’
diplomacy. We will take further moves on restoring Russian-American relations
based on the policies that the administration of President-elect Donald Trump
adopts,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a statement published by
the Kremlin website.
“We will not forbid families and children from
spending the New Year’s holidays at the places they are used to. Moreover, I
invite the children of all American diplomats with accreditation in Russia to
New Year’s and Christmas festivities in the Kremlin,” the Russian president
said.
Putin said he regretted that US President Barack Obama is
ending his term “in such a way,” but
that he extended his New Year’s congratulations to the outgoing US president
and his family nevertheless.
“I congratulate
President-elect Donald Trump and the entire American people!”
Putin is quite simply the greatest statesman of our time.
This is a remarkable response in its level judgment and
display of good temperament.
After all, the man who created this unpleasantness is only
one man and a man who has proved many times over that he lacks judgment and
capacity.
Obama is simply a failure, from beginning to end, a failure
who has chosen this sour note with which to leave office.
_____________________________
A last speculation on Obama's intent in all of this petulant
behavior.
It is quite possible Obama expected a Supreme Court
appointment from Clinton as reward for his campaign efforts.
After all, there never has been any genuine friendship or
admiration between the Obamas and the Clintons to motivate his campaign
efforts.
And the Obamas bought an expensive house in Washington for
his retirement.
