Obama sideswipes Trump without naming him in new speech -- on 'the biggest mistake' for leaders in cr

[link:https://www.rawstory.com/2020/04/obama-sideswipes-trump-without-naming-him-in-new-speech-on-the-biggest-mistake-for-leaders-in-crisis/|

“The biggest mistake any [of] us can make in these situations is to misinform,” said Obama. “Speak the truth. Speak it clearly. Speak it with compassion. Speak it with empathy for what folks are going through … The more smart people you have around you, and the less embarrassed you are to ask questions, the better your response is going to be."

the vast majority of them are of the Political "opinion"/event coverage type, CNN is and has always been a real news organization for its entire existence, which is 40 years now in June. The contributed blurb of other journalists is not new for them, it just has to be looked for at the end of each article.

Their nightly phone call with his favorite storm trooper Hannity.....then you’ll hear the yelling and screaming from the White House lawn, similar to the horse head scene from The Godfather.

We were lucky to have had Obama and those days are over. The citizens of this country are all totally fucked and so many of you deserve to be. You keep thinking that somehow karma is gonna kick in? Fahgetaboutit! I give up, you'll never hear from me again, but mark my words,you will not see a free and fair election in November, if ever and you will not see your stimulus check. It's one big scam and you're gonna get just what you asked for! Good Luck.
