Supposedly, Barack Obama was going to take a step back from meddling in elections after the 2024 vote, but he spoke at Hamilton College this year, and, of course, he had to consider in on the new Trump presidency. His magnificent display of historical revisionism and self-righteous anger may be comedic if it weren’t so harmful to our state.

” Uh, let… Imagine if I had done any of this”, Obama pontificated to his adoring market, playing his favourite game of suppositions while ideally ignoring his own record history. ” Let, permit, let me just… I, I, I only wanna get clear about this. I- i- i- lem- think that… Imagine if I had pulled Fox News ‘ credentials from the White House press corps” . ,
His absence of ease talking about this is evident from his stammering.  ,
” Ima- i- i- i- i- think if I had, had said to law firms that were representing events that were upset with laws my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will condemn you financially for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We may ferret out individuals who rally against my plans. It’s unbelievable that the same parties that are silent today would have tolerated actions like that from me or a… entire bunch of my predecessors”.
Really see how nervous Obama is pushing this drivel. It’s like he knows he’s total of it:
Obama is up to moan about Trump:” Think if I had done any of this”.
” It’s unbelievable that the same functions that are silent now may have tolerated actions like that from me”.

Really, how dare Obama imply that he was somehow held to a higher conventional that Trump is not. We all remember his administration, the scandals and fraud that the mainstream media ignored and his own party pretended didn’t happen.
Let’s talk about what’s really “unimaginable” . ,
The Obama administration was under a black cloud of controversy from even before he took office. Obama was implicated in trying to sell his Senate seats. He had wanted Valerie Jarrett to take his place in the Senate and would have given Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich a government place for doing so, but she eventually declined the Senate seats to be Obama’s top White House assistant. Blagojevich went to jail for his role in the incident. Obama did no.
And then there’s Obama’s Justice Department naming Fox News writer James Rosen as a legal murderer and potential hacker. Or when it quietly seized phone information from Associated Press editors. Obviously, those memories have easily slipped from the previous government’s mind.
The amazing dishonesty doesn’t prevent it. Obama’s immediate concern for media freedom and government intrusion would be more encouraging if his presidency hadn’t been the most hostile to press freedom in modern history, weaponizing the Espionage Act against journalists and their sources with extraordinary anger.

Let’s not forget the IRS targeting scandal, where conservative groups were systematically harassed and delayed in their nonprofit applications. Or Operation Fast and Furious, which resulted in the death of a border patrol agent and was subsequently covered up. And who can overlook the massive NSA surveillance program that spied on countless American citizens?
But perhaps Obama’s most egregious abuse of power was his administration’s orchestration of the Russia collusion hoax against Donald Trump — a campaign of political persecution that makes Watergate look like a parking ticket. Secret meetings in the dying days of his presidency laid the groundwork for the DOJ’s continued harassment of Trump, all based on charges that have been thoroughly debunked.
The cherry on top? When 47 inspectors general wrote to Congress about the Obama administration’s systematic obstruction of justice, in which the administration blocked their access to information needed for proper investigations. That’s not speculation or partisan rhetoric, that’s documented fact.

So while Obama plays “what if” games at cushy college speaking engagements, the rest of us remember what actually happened during his eight years in office. His performance at Hamilton College wasn’t just tone-deaf, it was a masterclass in gaslighting the American public.

The next time Obama wants to lecture anyone about governmental overreach or abuse of power, he should first take a long, hard look in the mirror. His administration wrote the book on it.
