Since this is FR, I won't bother going into the truly draconian abuses of power perpetuated by the O regime.

The irony within this single paragraph is amazing. That Zero was able to deliver it with a straight face is truly impressive (or an indication of some serious drug abuse) and the unquestioning acceptance by the pitiful excuse for journalists who cover this is truly pathetic.

Republicans walking around free, not in concentration camps, is an “abuse of power” to the MSM-Democrats.

Lots of people like Obama are way too arrogant and self-righteous. He can read a teleprompter and people might feel good but does it deliver results?

I wonder if obumber (damn, I never though I would have to write its name again) considers weaponizing and using the top intelligence agencies against his political opponents is abuse of power? Probably not.

Impeachment would have been too good for Obama. Federal law probably prohibits what I want to say should have been done.

O’Muslim can’t believe he stole the presidency for 8 years, and left behind untold numbers of evil operatives to continue his destruction.

obama says that he has not been active in politics since the 2016 election, but now he needs to re-enter.

What about that obama “residence”/headquarters in DC, from which he has been directing the “resistance”?

Get back to Chicago (or Mecca), obama! PHOOEY!!!!

Obama actually believes the abuse of power comes from voters who voted for Trump. How dare republicans take power. How dare voters vote republican.

In the best tradition of Saul Alinsky, Obongo the godking of community organizers accuses his political opponents of his own crimes. It’s a predictable pattern for these “progressives” who wish only to expand their own power, always.

And this is why I believe ALL the polls showing Dems in the lead is total 100 percent BS..if Trump and Republicans were really losing so badly, they would NOT feel the need to bring out Obama to start begging Dems to go to the polls..and we find out today that John Cox here in CALIFORNIA, is only down 5 points to that freak of nature Gavin Newsom..yeah blue wave my ass

I want everyone to imagine, for just one minute, what the reaction would be if Donald Trump's Secretary of State had a private server in his house, and was trafficking in state secrets, all the while soliciting contributions to his foundation from foreign officials. Then, when confronted with this, he wouldn't allow the FBI to examine the server, and even went so far as to attempt to obliterate information that was on the server.

Do you think that Trump would be separated from his SOS? Would Trump get a pass? It's Trump's administration, after all, and he would be indelibly linked to the scandal. Yet Obama gets a pass from Hillary. And there is compelling evidence that he not only knew about it, he condoned it. He certainly didn't hold her to any account. In my view, Hillary's scandals while she was Secretary of State are Obama's scandals too. And it was abuse of power.
