This takes some serious Reality Avoidance and Lapdogism
Obama telling the truth about his media criticism versus Trump's criticism: "I complained plenty about Fox News, but you never heard me threaten to shut them down, or call them enemies of the people."

You can't be serious. The Obama admin tried to exclude Fox News from interviews and named James Rosen as a criminal co-conspirator for doing his job.

At the end of the day, most of Trump bluster and bark is simply that: he really does nothing of real consequence. Obama spied on journalists. He spied on them and subpoenaed their records. He spied on Sharyl Attkisson. He spied on whistleblowers. And the media, folks like Stetler, sat in his lap taking the abuse and refusing to report on it, because Obama was one of them.
Ironically, Loose Shoes was there to accept, um… an “ethics in government” award.
I always liked Dennis Miller’s take, “I don’t care about the color of his skin, just the thinness of it”.
And the skin of an Orange seems so thick, yet there’s tRump, the most thin-skinned celebrity of all.
We forget, was President Obama ever an unindicted co-conspirator?
Well?

When I read that Obama was getting an ethics award I thought I was getting punked by The Onion.
Yeah, ethics, what a crock. The guy can do anything and still get an award. Like spy on the press, wiretap the press, take their bank records, track phone calls, use the IRS for ideological punishment…, yeah he really deserves an ethics award as much as any socialist dictator or even a Chicago politician. Why not also give him a Nobel Peace Prize for the pleasing tone of his voice? Oh wait.
