During The Lead With Jake Tapper, former State Department spokeswoman and Obama communications director under President Obama Jen Psaki accused President Trump's new nickname for the former President, "Cheatin' Obama" of having racial undertones.
President Trump, who has become known for branding opponents in both political parties with nicknames, finally unveiled a nickname for his predecessor. When pointing to a Rasmussen poll showing that he had a 50 percent approval rating, the President said that his approval rating was higher than that of “Cheatin’ Obama” at the same time during his presidency.
Host Jake Tapper asked Psaki, now a CNN contributor, for her take on the nickname. According to Psaki:“Given Trump’s history, you can also guess that he might have, there might be racial undertones there. He was the founder of the birther movement. Perhaps I’m going to a very evil place with that but I think that history tells us that’s a possibility.”
Tapper then asked her if “you think he’s saying that because he’s black he cheats?” She responded: “Who knows,” adding that “without the context of his history,” she would not have attributed such sinister motives to the nickname. She also discounted the Rasmussen poll, stressing that the rolling averages have more significance than individual polls: “It’s sort of sad, actually, that he’s grabbing this outlier poll.”
As for the “birther” movement, let’s remember who started it. Before President Obama could face off against the Republicans, he had to get past Hillary Clinton; who many initially viewed as the frontrunner for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in the 2008 presidential election. The Democratic primary that year closely divided the Democratic Party with Appalachian voters and older voters supporting Clinton while younger voters and African-Americans supported Obama.
Painting Obama as an outsider was one of the tactics used by Clinton campaign staffers in an attempt to boost her candidacy. Clinton confidante Sid Blumenthal had asked McClatchy’s James Asher to look into whether or not President Obama was born in Kenya. In addition, pollster Mark Penn had encouraged the Clinton campaign to focus on the young Illinois Senator’s “lack of American roots” and emphasize the fact that she was “born in the middle of America in the middle class in the middle of the last century.”
CNN has spent quite a bit of time trying to paint President Trump as a racist this week by pointing to his tweets about illegal immigration. President Trump’s new nickname for President Obama seems like the latest exhibit that Psaki and friends will use in their attempt to the President as a racist in the court of public opinion.
Seemed like a long eleven years to me.
“Now where’s that Jesse Jackson race card image......”
Question: What Divinity school did the Rev. King, the Rev Al and the Rev Jesse attend? How does one get into that particular school? Is it the same one that the almost Rev Algore flunked out of?
Did the Kenyan Fraude cheat his way into college, cheat his way through college, cheat his way into law school, cheat his way through law school, and cheat his way into a Senate seat? If so, then Obummer is “Cheatin’ Obama”, Jen, you ignorant *!***.
haven’t found this on FR today either.
5 Apr: RedState: Ted Cruz and Rand Paul Give Their Support to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt
by streiff
TWEET: Senator Rand Paul: .@EPAScottPruitt is likely the bravest and most conservative member of Trump’s cabinet. We need him to help @realDonaldTrump drain the regulatory swamp.
TWEET: Ted Cruz: This is compelling. Why do Obama and his media cronies want so badly to drive @EPAScottPruitt out of office? @realDonaldTrump is too cagey to be duped and bullied by the Obama groupies.
I just hope President Trump and his inner circle have the courage to stand-by Pruitt and help him ride this nonsense out because he has been one of the superstars of the administration.

If you rake in $7Billion but spend $10Billion raking ... it's meaningless.
I wonder if that's what they mean by "probably could have a better deal".
Citing only revenue is likely an intentionally misleading approach to the analysis.
Obama I an undertone.
That's why I called her "Sorority Girl."
A cheater because Obama is black?
Not really...
He’s only a “half” cheater.
Well Obama was black I think ... maybe that makes it racial?
CNN - a good place for that b**ch.
It’s not like he called him a long legged Mac daddy.
Racial overtones? No. THIS staement has racial overtones: hell will freeze over before americans vote for another racist negro like the dirtbag obama. At least in my lifetime. Every possible bad thing was caused by that lying, marxist, narcissistic POS. Now there. That is probably more racial overtimes. Plus jenpsaki is as incompetent a moron as one can find. What a worthless piece of human garbage,
Since Trump’s statements are all considered racist, he should have gone all the way and shortened “Cheatin’ Obama” to “Chigger”.
These people suck. I wish the space junk would have fallen on them and crushed them to bits.
The statement is more true than it is racist.
I hate cheaters!
= = = = = = = = = =
I hate people who hate.
I have zero tolerance for intolerant people.
Would she have been happier if PDT would have called him ‘Lightnin’ ??

Hey Psaki, shut the F up you tw*t.
