I really think some of the Trumpies are confused. Obama isn't running for president this year, yet they keep bringing up things they believe he is, or has done, or will do, or might do, in discussions about the election.
Obama was introduced in the comments because he, like Trump, was involved in trying to revoke press credentials. Trump did it, Obama tried. That was pointed out to show the hypocrisy of the Obama crowd.

Tread lightly. The left doesn't like being shown how hypocritical they are. You may be labeled as a racist.
Gotta suck BIG TIME to have press access pulled for the guy that absolutely DOMINATES the media. That's like the NBA not allowing ESPN to cover Lebron James and Steph Curry.
That's the incident. If you remember....the rest of the press backed FOX & Obama backed off. Must give the rest of the press credit for that act.
Failing to invite Fox to one briefing with a somewhat obscure official (I like to think I follow politics and had no clue who Feinberg was) is hardly comparable to completely cutting off a newspaper of record.
Will we see Fox protest the treatment of WaPo? We both know the answer to that.

Why.....FOX is a neocon organ. They will fall in line. You think FOX is conservative ? If the rest of the press did not stick up for FOX do you think Obama would have stopped there & backed off ?
Spin it any way you want but it's a childish move especially for someone who professes to be such a tough guy. He just showing himself to be the small little, thin skinned man that Lizzie keeps reminding us of.
I would ask him to put his big boy pants on, if he had a pair!
It is not spin.
You factually do not understand the concept of the 1st Amendment.
The 1st Amendment does not guarantee the WaPo special access to PRIVATE Trump events.
Trump is not violating the 1st Amendment.
You should admit this fact, rather than pretend me pointing out facts is spin.
What is spin, is you having no clue how the 1st Amendment works, putting a false spin on it, and then ignoring that Obama has done what Trump is doing.
In all fairness, Libya was a UN/NATO operation (with UAE, Jordan, Qatar - and somehow Sweden?), initially driven in no little part by France and the UK. (Looking at the number of sorties, France, the UK and Canada did actually put their money where their mouths were.)
I'd say Obama failed to stop the eager Europeans from going to war without a smart plan for the post-war outcome - a sin of omission, if you will. But Sarkozy and Cameron were the ones who pushed Libya.

Obama was up to his neck in that mess with the Muslim Brotherhood. He helped force Mubarak out against the near unanimous advise of his national security team not to do it....because HE thought he was going to be on the right side of history....how did that work out ?
