What if Obama made the same "FRAUD" allegations about the Coleman/Franken recount?

[alp227]

So I'm seeing this mess of Trump screaming "VOTER FRAUD!" regarding the recount of the Bill Nelson/Rick Scott US Senate election in Florida and wonder: How would those same Republicans making such accusations have liked it if Obama and congressional Democrats had been making the same charges during the recount of the Norm Coleman/Al Franken US Senate election in Minnesota over nine years ago?

Keep in mind that back in 2009, Obama and Democrats had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate to gain with the (eventual) victory of Franken. In contrast, what do Trump and Republicans have to gain with Scott winning, just a 52nd Republican senator? (That would be practically meaningless ever since the filibuster rule on presidential nominations got gutted a few years back.)
