Why Obama Would Almost Rather See a Republican in the Oval Office Than Hillary

If we could get a sneak peek at Barack Obama’s secret diary, this is what we might read.)

I’ll have to endorse Hillary if she gets the nomination—which looks almost certain now—but I won’t have my heart in it.

When I leave office in little over a year, I’ll be one of the youngest ex-presidents in history. I’ll still have that same big-shouldered Chicago lust for power that drove me from Greenwood Avenue in Hyde Park to Pennsylvania Avenue in three short years.

But if Hillary replaces me in the Oval, she and Bill will take control of the Democratic Party—it’ll become the Clinton party once again—and they’ll block me from having any future influence.

I’ll end up like Jimmy Carter—hammering away in Appalachia for Habitat for Humanity.

On the other hand, if a Republican wins in ‘16, the Clintons will be finished—their foundation and their speaking fees will dry up and they’ll be a thing of the past. But I’ll still be the titular head of the party. I’ll be able to continue my push to transform America into a European-style socialist state.

So, personally, I’d be better off if the next president is a Republican.

I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this. I had hopes that Old Joe would get in the running and knock Hillary off her pins. Joe in the White House would be like my third term. I’d have plenty of influence in a Biden administration.

But Joe hemmed and hawed until it was too late.

For a while, Val and Miche tried to convince me that Martin O’Malley was the one to snatch the nomination away from Hillary. They said he was O’Malleable and would share the levers of power with me. But I knew from the get-go that Martin didn’t have the right stuff.

Still, it’s amazing to me that Hillary hasn’t imploded. Everybody knows she deliberately tried to cover her tracks with her home-brew e-mail server and that she did it with felonious intent. My biggest fear all along has been that Hillary’s mess will end up tainting my presidency and my legacy.

Val and Miche are dead set against that happening. They’re hoping that Hillary is indicted sooner rather than later. Then Uncle Joe could ride in like the cavalry and save the party.

Just the other day, Hillary asked for another meeting in the Oval. I threw a major fit because I knew she wanted me to shut down the investigation of her e-mails and all her cover-ups.

Generally, I don’t lose my composure, but this time, I leaped from my desk and threw a rubber ball across the room. Almost broke the china.

I even yelled at Val: “Tell the Clintons to go to hell! I never want to see Hillary’s face again. I never want her or Bill in my house lecturing me. They have no respect for this office or for me, and I’m not taking it anymore. She has lied about everything.”

I also told Val: “Make sure that any smidgen of wrongdoing that is in Hillary’s files is turned over to the authorities—everything.”

Obviously, I can’t be seen influencing the FBI investigation in any way. But I’ve made it clear to Jim Comey over at the FBI and Loretta at Justice that I want a thorough investigation and, if warranted, a vigorous prosecution.

If Hillary winds up being sentenced, maybe a presidential pardon can be worked out. Nobody wants to see a former first lady and secretary of state rotting in jail.

If Obama really wanted to stop Hillary, and he just might, he will have her indicted for violating the security laws with her e mails or the corruption she did to join the 1% while in “public service”.

That was written by someone smarter than The Won. They need to dumb it down if they want to do a believable impersonation.

I bet that Obama backs Bernie Sanders. Obama feels that he can control Sanders, or that at least Sanders will allow Obama to have a role in his administration. Hillary will shut out Obama.

Don’t think Emperor Barack I would want The Donald as Prez. His sorry Kenyan arse might get thrown in the pokey...

The far left hate those ideologically opposed to them, and resent those who question their superior intelligence and superior world view. What Obama does in the context of the Clintons will depend upon how his supporting or not supporting her intertwines with the above. When you get to the level of narcissism that is common in the ascendant ranks of politics and elected office, the driving force goes way, way beyond whether or not one has a ‘good gig’ and continued influence. It's profoundly more grandiose than that, and really about continuing to ‘guide the world’ with your ‘vision’ and ‘gifts’. It's quite scary.

The problem here is that you can bet HRC has some kind of dirt on him and he has some on her. Kinda like mutually assured destruction. So, what will he do and how will she react?

And what makes you think the Kenyan is going to give up the Oval Office?

He’s planning on martial law to cancel the elections...

I have seen two Hillary bumper stickers. I have seen probably over a hundred Bernie stickers.

Not buying the premise and fast and furious is why.

That's an examiner.com site with much less than the normal amount of ad interrupt. Two clicks on the x and it's an uninterrupted read.

The Clinton's are information handler experts. If Obama sics the dogs too deep he and the AG he rode in and out on will not escape her gut spillage.

Another long term memory opinion.

This has occurred to me as well. I have a theory.....

The Clintons and obamas despise each other, they're both out for themselves. Period. That couldn't care less about the country or their party. And.....if Hillary is elected, then she is the undisputed leader of the demhole party. And she's the first woman president. The preststitutes would fawn over and protect her like they do obama. He would becomes irrelevant. He'd hang round and run his mouth, but know one would care.

On the other hand, an outgoing president is often perceived and/or recognized as the titular head of their party. If Hillary loses, then Obama is still the head of the demhole party. He'd hang around, run his mouth, criticizing every move the new R president would make, he'd still think he was the center of the universe and the mediawhores would still worship him.

I think after she gets the nomination and obama sabotages her candidacy in the summer of 2016

“If Obama really want Hillary out, he could do this by indicting her”

It may be the FBI investigation is a charade and part of the political play put on for our entertainment. If so, at the appropriate time next year, the DOJ and FBI will announce Hillary has been cleared. This will effectively eliminate Benghazi and emailgate as issues in the 2016 campaign. With those issues off the table, if the GOP runs a RINO, it is difficult to see how the GOP nominee will differentiate himself/herself from Hillary. Perhaps on the TPP treaty since Hillary has come out against it. The GOP can be for it. There’s an issue that will bring the base to the polls. /s

Every other issue of importance the GOPe and Hillary agree on: open borders, abortion, homosexual marriage, higher taxes for individuals, government health care, more social spending, deficit spending, subsidies for corporations, welfare, higher spending for education.

Interesting article. I’ve always thought if push came to shove, the Clintons would come out on top. I guess we’ll see.
