- Not so fast — on thinking what Obama is up to
- Obama statement notwithstanding, behind the scenes effort likely to keep things stirred up.
Here is the conventional wisdom:
On the basis of:
The Obama administration said it has seen no evidence of hackers tampering with the 2016 presidential election, even as recount proceedings began in Wisconsin.
“We stand behind our election results, which accurately reflect the will of the American people,” a senior administration official told POLITICO late Friday.
“The federal government did not observe any increased level of malicious cyber activity aimed at disrupting our electoral process on election day,” the official added. “We believe our elections were free and fair from a cybersecurity perspective.”
This is the White House that has been busy throughout the post-election weeks working to incite the mobs, undermine the legitimacy of the vote and generally create havoc for the coming Trump presidency.
Barack Obama has been making his “farewell tour” theme to world leaders that they’d better be leery of President-elect Trump. He has spoken domestically in his folksy, g-dropping fashion in terms designed to stoke fear and apprehension in the people of various groups… blacks, illegal aliens, Muslim refugees, the poor, and, of course Democrats.
And now we are supposed to believe that he and his White House are discouraging disruptive vote recounts spearheaded by Jill “It Ain’t Easy Bein’ Green” Stein and joined by the hapless Clinton machine:
“We stand behind our election results, which accurately reflect the will of the American people,” Obama’s spokes -folks solemnly announce.
We are told that this is final affirmation that the pending recounts will have no effect on the outcome of the election earlier this month nor on Hillary’s and the Clinton Foundations’ “noble aspirations”.
“Nothing to worry about, Trump voters”, we’re assured. “That $5 to$7 million expected to be spent on these recounts is in pursuit of a wildly futile venture”.
Oh really?
For most of the past 8 years, the best rule of thumb to follow, not once proven to be false, is, “if Obama says it, it’s a lie. If he emphasizes it, it’s a big lie!”
The American people are being told, with almost one voice, that the recounts demanded by a far left entity and granted by Democratic Party-dominated state election committees, and supported by $ millions in pledges from leftwing donors, is a frivolous exercise.
I would suggest that all of the “thoughtful analysis” we’ve been inundated with since Jill “Quixote” set out with her army of windmills to slay the Trump “giants” is either as naive as they assume most Americans are or they seek to lull the nation while the biggest disruption of national order in our history is pulled off.
If there’s one thing the left and the Democratic party are good at, it is, in the most devious ways, overturning legitimately won elections. As the Christine Gregoire Washington state gubernatorial election victory in 2004 (after 3 counts and “discoveries” of “uncounted ballots” in Democratic Party strongholds) and the Al Franken/ Norm Coleman Senate 2008 race, one pretty generally accepted as “stolen”
Whenever leftists put $ 5 to$ 7 million into a recount, more than faint skepticism is appropriate. I’m guessing that, in the course of the recount, bunches of “uncounted ballots” will be discovered in warehouses and polling sites. I think I also know which candidate garners the greatest share of those ballots.
Hang onto your hats, folks. The “stout” lady in the pants suit hasn’t sung yet! DLH

Here is my take on what Obama is up to, not so much on the Jill whatsherface and Hillary gambit. Those two, as true Saul Alinskyites will spend other peoples throwaway money to stir the pot, try to delegitimize in their warped approach the Trump presidency. Keep doubt alive. If they come up with enough absentee ballots to further Hillary in the popular vote or maintain ballot positions for Jill and her party for the future in key states, well that is the minimum they hope to do. But Obama’s statement is a clear win-win for him as the egotist in him drives everything. By declaring there was no Russian interference or hacking by others, he merely states the readily provable and hopes to quash any damage to his legacy of federal protector from such things. His statement really does not hurt what Jill and Hillary are after, indeed the unlikelihood of hacking they have admitted I believe. But his interest is not Hillary winning at this point. It is plan B for him. He wants to be the go to guy for the commentariot. He does not need an appointment from Hillary, had she become President. The business and international community will provide him fabulous wealth. He loses influence the more Hillary advances. He can now be the I told you so guy, the my way was working guy, more so than Hillary with a Trump presidency. She is burnt toast. This role is his buttered bread.
Uncounted ballots as well as most of those millions finding their way into Demonrat hands – remember that there is not a spit’s worth of difference between Demonrats and Greens. One article made it very plain that proponents of the recount are making disclaimers that these recounts may not even be allowed which means if disallowed lots of money will be at hand to fill personal bank accounts in the name of “social justice” warriors.
