We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)Barack Obama was at Rice University’s Baker Institute on Tuesday night. The former president claimed he was responsible for America’s surge to become the top oil and gas producer in the world, saying, “That was me.” The self-aggrandizing Obama made a critical mistake, and that put President Donald Trump on the warpath. Trump blasted the 44th president, showing him his future “behind bars,” and the mainstream media is reeling. You’ll love this.
Barack Obama is demanding that Americans say “thank you” to him. Last night, the former president gave a talk at Rice University, taking credit for President Trump’s accomplishments. “I was extraordinarily proud of the Paris accords because — you know, I know we’re in oil country and we need American energy, and by the way, American energy production,” Obama said.
He went on, “You wouldn’t always know it but it went up every year I was president,” Obama said of U.S. oil and gas production. “That whole, suddenly America’s like the biggest oil producer and the biggest gas — that was me, people… just say thank you.”
Obama can’t stand it. The timing of his comments comes on the heels of President Trump telling a crowd in Mississipi on Tuesday that America is now the world’s biggest oil producer. In fact, Trump predicted way back in March 2018 that this would happen, and it has nothing to do with the Obama administration.
The Political Insider reports, “U.S. oil production nearly doubled between 2009, when Obama took office, to 2016. Natural gas production shot up around 50 percent in that time. However, the boom in production almost exclusively took place on state and private lands where the Obama administration had little to no control.”
It was President Trump who got rid of the Obama-era regulations on public land in February 2018, which cleared a path for expanded oil and gas drilling, reported the Washington Post. But the real issue on the president’s mind is the Mueller investigation. Just a few days ago Trump gave an interview where he accused Obama of treason.
David Bossie and Corey Lewandowski, who both worked on Trump’s campaign, asked whether or not he believed Barack Obama knew that John Brennan, CIA Chief at the time, and James Clapper, then-Director of National Intelligence, were conducting surveillance on members of his campaign.
“Personally, I think he knew. Yeah. Just remember what they did,” the president claimed. “Let me put it this way, If the shoe were on the other foot, and the same thing happened to him, it would be treason and they’d be locked up for 100 years.”
Now, in a series of tweets this morning, Trump said, “The Mueller Witch Hunt is a total disgrace. They are looking at supposedly stolen Crooked Hillary Clinton Emails (even though they don’t want to look at the DNC Server), but have no interest in the Emails that Hillary DELETED & acid washed AFTER getting a Congressional Subpoena!”
The president followed that up with: “While the disgusting Fake News is doing everything within their power not to report it that way, at least 3 major players are intimating that the Angry Mueller Gang of Dems is viciously telling witnesses to lie about facts & they will get relief. This is our Joseph McCarthy Era!”
As Mueller wraps up his investigation, he is banking on squeezing outsiders like Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi to lie or go to prison. In fact, Mueller put the screws to Corsi to sign a plea deal and he responded, “They can put me in prison the rest of my life. I am not going to sign a lie.”
But the real Russian collusion was done by Hillary Clinton and her campaign along with Obama’s FBI and CIA. That’s when Barack Obama made a critical mistake. He didn’t cover his tracks as his deep state cabal illegally spied on the Trump campaign, which was called “Crossfire Hurricane.”
The New York Post reports, “Official documents on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump’s campaign place Obama in meetings about surveillance of the Republican candidates’ aides, co-author Lewandowski writes, citing unnamed sources who say Obama’s name was then redacted from the still-classified papers.”
Well, Trump had a response for Obama and his cabal of deep state rats. The president boldly re-tweeted a meme picturing these people behind bars: Barack Obama, Hillary & Bill Clinton, Huma Abedin, James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, John Podesta, and Loretta Lynch.
It reads: Now that the Russian collusion is a proven lie, when do the trials for treason begin?
The other big question is if Obama has all this time to run around the country campaigning during the midterms and now giving this talk at Rice University, where is his memoir which Penguin House paid a whopping $65 million dollars in advance?
Michelle Obama finished her book a long time ago. She’s currently on an international tour promoting it. The answer is the former president can’t write his memoir. There is no doubt his team of attorneys has warned him he will potentially incriminate himself.
Obama can’t discuss his last year in office. It’s becoming clear there is no way there was a major spying operation on the GOP candidate for president without his knowledge. President Trump just turned up the heat accusing the 44th president of treason. And Trump is just waiting for the right time to declassify the paper trail on Crossfire Hurricane.
