Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama was irked and exasperated in response to his successor's uncorroborated wiretapping accusation, sources close to the former president tell CNN, though these sources say Obama's reaction stopped short of outright fury. Obama and his aides responded with disbelief when they learned of President Donald Trump's Saturday morning tweets laying out the charges. Later in the day, an Obama spokesman said "neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any US citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false." The sources provided CNN with slightly different insight into Obama's demeanor than others who told The Wall Street Journal that Obama was "livid."

Obama's loyal army of supporters have been far more active in voicing their dissatisfaction with Trump. On social media and television, former aides have been aggressively pushing back on Trump in the first weeks of his presidency.

Funny, CNN, ABC and the rest of the MSM are all upset about uncorroborated wiretapping reports from Pres. Trump while have no problem spouting uncorroborated Russia-Trump accusations.
Makes my blood boil.

Did notice on ABC Nightly , they toned down and cut the wiretapping reports way down. Night before they spent at least half the program on it.

Lol the whole purpose of this story is to refute reports that the God creature Obama is angry. You can be sure he’s angry. Good.

Three questions for O, which’ll never get asked:

1) Did you think the Trump campaign was colluding w/Russia?

2) Did you think that collusion was possible criminal or a national security threat?

3) What did you do about that?

Obama spent the last eight years being irked and exasperated by the stupid American public who didn’t go along with his obviously superior policies.

THIS JUST IN---wire-tapping Trump has been exposed, so Obama is ordering crews of paid henchmen to conduct surveillance on Trump....to ‘Keep Tabs’ on President Trump's activities.

So as not to appear too partisan, Obama will then surveil liberals and progressives and compile dossiers on their sexual activities, financial holdings, and any suggestion of disloyalty to him.

LAUGH BREAK Cong Maxine Waters comes to Obama's defense: “Well you know I don’t know and I think some people are missing something here. President Obama has put in place an organization (OFA) that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very very powerful and whoever…and that database will have information about everything on every individual ("even you. liberals") on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to have to go down with that database and the concerns of those people are because they can’t get around it and he’s been very smart and it’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”

==============================================

These simpleton Dems are so inherently corrupt, they gamely accept the govt compiling info on US citizens. Too stupid to reason that surveillance on citizens is a tactic of a Third World totalitarian regime ........AND IS NOT DONE in a constitutional republic.

So why doesn’t Bathouse Barry just come out and say it himself?

Or does cnn have to rely on “sources” to speak for The Narcissist himself?

BOL! Certainly Not News, even makes up fake news stories about their beloved one, Obama, with their unnamed sources.

"sources close to the former president tell CNN, though these sources say Obama's reaction stopped short of outright fury."
