Obama Just Planted A Ticking Time Bomb For Trump That’s Borderline Treasonous (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A U.S. military base is a lousy place for a president to take political potshots, especially ones that come close to blowing holes in the command structure of the United States armed forces.

But that’s exactly what President Obama chose to do this week when he used MacDill Air Force Base as a stage, and United States airmen as his props, for a thinly disguised attack on the authority of soon-to-be President Donald Trump.

And he left a time bomb for the new commander in chief while he was at it.

According to CNS News, White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that Obama’s speech had been prepared before the election, so the identity of the next White House occupant was unknown when it was written. However, it’s tough to imagine Obama including some of the remarks he made if Hillary Clinton were about to take over command of the United States military.

After running through a lengthy list exaggerating his own administration’s accomplishments against terrorism — and minimizing its failures — Obama turned to undermining the authority of his successor.

It was a stunning moment that would have been inconceivable if Clinton had won on Nov. 8. From a president preparing to give up office in a country engaged in two wars, it was unforgivable.

“We’re a nation that believes freedom can never be taken for granted and that each of us has a responsibility to sustain it,” he said, in his final scheduled speech on national security.

Then the current commander in chief told the military audience, “The universal right to speak your mind and to protest against authority, to live in a society that’s open and free, that can criticize a president without retribution … that’s what separates us from tyrants and terrorists.”

OK, Obama didn’t mention Donald Trump’s name. And he didn’t come right out and say he doesn’t think the American military should be obeying the lawful orders of its constitutionally empowered commander in chief, but could anyone think the president had anything else in mind when he dropped that time bomb about protesting authority and criticizing a president?

Technically, Obama was correct, of course. American citizens don’t surrender all their rights when they enter the military, though political speech while in uniform is definitely curtailed. But for a sitting president to openly call for military disloyalty to his successor borders on treasonous.

Even if every airman and officer in the audience was 100 percent honorable, the speech will stand as an open invitation to disgruntled men and women in uniform to take any action they choose if it satisfies their need to “protest” some White House decision they disagree with, and that could have disastrous consequences for the security of the country as a whole. (There might be a sexually confused potential traitor like Bradley Manning out there right now, lapping up Obama’s words.)

It’s an invitation Obama would never have left for a military with a Clinton about to occupy the Oval Office, no matter how much bad blood there might be between the two personally.

Republicans – even those not particularly close to the president-elect – slammed the speech.

Sen. John John McCain, the Arizona Republican who has publicly clashed with Trump on numerous occasions, called Obama’s speech a whitewash of eight years of failure against terrorism. At one point, Obama even argued that no “terrorist organization” had successfully attacked in the United States during his administration, but McCain wasn’t buying it.

Repeated terrorist attacks on American soil, the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq after the Obama administration threw away the victory George W. Bush won for it in Iraq and endless war in the Middle East are Obama’s true legacy, McCain said, according to The New York Times. 

“President Obama’s speech was nothing more than a feeble attempt to evade the harsh judgment of history,” McCain noted.

“But to the American people, our emboldened enemies, and our dispirited allies, his legacy on counterterrorism is unmistakably clear: a disastrous withdrawal from Iraq, the terrorist rampage of ISIL, an indecisive approach to the war in Afghanistan that has empowered the Taliban, and an indifferent approach to the carnage in Syria on which our terrorist enemies have thrived. No rhetorical conceit will alter history’s verdict.”

As John Adams used to say, facts are stubborn things. It would take an orator more gifted than Obama to explain away the eight years of futility, military ineptitude and world disorder that have been the result of his stewardship of the White House.

Trying to blame political opponents for his failures and all but inciting open mutiny among American military members against his soon-to-be successor, are a poor legacy for Obama to leave behind him, no matter what his acolytes in the media might be claiming about his speech.

But the worst part of the speech was the time bomb Obama left behind. There’s no question it was deliberate. The only question is how it will go off.

      A zebra NEVER changes his stripes…..same ole, same ole garbage we have heard for 8 LONG MISERABLE gloomy years with the worst potus in history.

    • Dave 1963

      Well then obviously Obama MUST intend to pardon Bradley Manning, Eric Snowden, and Julian Assange!

      Otherwise he MUST be a complete liar and a hypocrite!

      The facts are that Obama promised transparency and delivered brutal oppression of whistle blowers. He also assassinated 3 US citizens in Yemen (one of whom was 16) without a trial. A precedent that gives president elect Trump the same power! Bush gave us torture. Obama over turned Habeas Corpus. Now Trump has both powers!

      WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD SNOWFLAKES!

      Look what can one say about a president that kills Americans. A president that meets every Tuesday, know as terror Tuesday. Here at the White House he decides who goes on the list. without a trial, these Americans are killed.

    • 2QIK4U

      Thats utter BS. Theyre scripts are written 24 hours before any speech to attempt to keep current. Not one single thing can be believed by these lying globetards. Im surprised a soldier didnt snap Obama bin ladens neck.

    • 2QIK4U

      EAT SHIT AND DIE BARACK OSAMA.

      I do not care what the Israeli teenager has stated regarding Obama’s future as an enemy of Israel and without knowing the will of the Most High Hebrew God, I want Barack Obama dead by lawful execution through the administration of President Donald Trump. Obama violated the Constitution in many ways and for evil purposes.

      I am NOT content with what I hear about Obama’s future evil acts. I want him prosecuted for the crimes he has committed and be put to death for them.

      Executioners: Do not forget to chop off his head and burn his body to destruction. Let us see and hear his mouth speak after that.

    • Judge Roy Bean

      The good portion of the military despise Obama.

    • Cousin_Jack

      Good for Obama to give people the ok to criticize him, I’m sure they won’t be called racist. Does America now having had a black president mean you can now be racist to a white president too?

    • DISPENSER

      I am sure, the vast majority of military listening to Obama, were thinking “What a piece of shit!”

      Why would the armed forces not be loyal to Trump ? The current idiot in our white house has dismantled some of our war ships , lower our armed forces to world war 1 numbers , closed bases , handed over our nuke buttons to Muslims , grounded key planes like the wart hog , showed our power grid to to the Chineses , brought in Russian troops , Muslim UN troops , Isis radicals with the refugees , allowed Muslim camps that have surface to air missiles and automatic weapons , he has almost removed the health care system for the armed forces , taken their guns from them while in America but allowed the foreign troops to retain theirs . And the list could go on and on . This nut has been the worst idiot to have ever graced our white house . If indeed he knew better , which he did because he was Russian trained and had used Treasonist executive orders in May 2012 to bring in 15,000 special force russian troops to protect him from the American people as he committed . This sorry low life Treasonist radical Muslim will go down as the worst trader to America in the history . We have been driven into so much debt that it will take a miracle from GOD to stop the sinking of the system he has set up America for (20,000,000,000,000 in the hole ) . This idiot spent 85 million dollars on his vacations in his 8 years claiming to be our president . His birth record say Kenya Africa . His student borrowed loan from America as a foreign student say Indiesnesia . He is the biggest lier to grace our white house . And now he is still pushing at Russia for war so he can stay in the white house and set up marshall law on Americans . Get the damn idiot out of our white house ! Federal Marshall’s need to hold this man until Trump takes over so he can prosecute him for all the Treasonist executive orders that he has composed for dictatorship of America . I hope Trump keeps his words about killing all executive orders . When he does America will find out Bush had something to do with Kennedy’s death . Every president since Reagan has committed Treason against our Constitution and the American people . Nail them ! Send out a message to all would be traders we will hang you high for all to see !
