Ave Obama! …

The return … Like an emperor returning from a long campaign to address his adoring public, former President Barack Obama strode into the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and cut right to the chase. He delivered a speech that had the propaganda wing of Resistance Inc. getting that tingling feeling all over again.

After explaining how President Washington set the tone for presidents returning to private life and not commenting on their successors, and saying his intention was to follow that lead, Barack Obama launched into a fiery attack on Donald Trump, his supporters, and what he sees as the state of the nation.

His enablers in the media ate it up. Hook, line, and sinker.

I wrote earlier today about how CNN media critic/cheerleader Brian Stelter rushed to Obama’s defense. Stelter’s attempt at running cover for Obama doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

Easily fact-checked … One of the big whoppers of Obama’s speech was when he asked, “How hard can that be? Saying that Nazis are bad.” The Hill ran a story on that part of the speech. Funny thing is, there’s no mention of what Donald Trump has actually said about Nazis. Even CNN reported that in the aftermath of the Charlottesville rally, Trump called Nazis and the KKK “repugnant.”

I’m sure PolitiFact will be all over this.
