GOP congressman offers strange Obama conspiracy theory -- and even stranger explanations
By Aaron Blake March 11 at 9:28 AM
Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) took the White House's “deep state” conspiracy theory and added some mustard to it in a newly uncovered speech last week. Kelly said that not only is there a widespread government effort to undermine President Trump, but that it's being led by none other than former president Barack Obama — who is running a “shadow government.” But while the conspiracy theory is strange enough, the explanations offered by Kelly's office are something to behold.
First, here's what Kelly said last Saturday at a local Republican Party Lincoln Day dinner:
President Obama himself said he was going to stay in Washington until his daughter graduated. I think we ought to pitch in to let him go someplace else, because he is only there for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to run a shadow government that is going to totally upset the new agenda. It just doesn’t make sense. And people sit back and they say to me, 'My gosh, why can’t you guys get this done?' I say, 'We've got a new CEO, we've got some new heads in the different departments, but the same people are there, and they don't believe that the new owners or the new managers should be running the ship.'
Reached by the Philadelphia Inquirer, Kelly's office insisted the comments were supposed to be private and that he was merely reflecting Republicans' frustration with the deep state. “Rep. Kelly delivered his remarks at a private meeting to an audience of fellow Republicans. He was sharing the frustration of everyone in the room over how they believe certain Obama administration holdovers within the federal bureaucracy are attempting to upset President Trump’s agenda.”

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028779863Shitgibbon Barry is a wrecker and a saboteur--that is not a conspiracy theory, it is a fact. There is no way to conceal what a colossal disaster his presidency was. His only hope is to foul things up as much as possible for President Trump, thinking that will make the Sotero presidency look better by comparison.
If the Obamas are just staying in Washington so daughter Sasha can finish high school, why the hell do they need Valerie Jarrett living in their house with them?
Not related to the main point, but I've heard plenty about how Valerie Jarrett is living with the Obamas but I've heard no mention of Barry's mooching grifter MIL, Marian Shields Robinson, moving in with them. Barry probably told her she's on her own since the taxpayers aren't paying her freight anymore.

1. Damn...
Are every single one of these dolts insane???
There's a hell of a lot more evidence for Barry trying to sabotage the Trump presidency than there is for Trump and the Russians going in cahoots to hack the election. Who're the insane dolts now, shitgibbon?

9. Someone should have asked him, What is Trump's agenda?
Perhaps it should be opposed, no?
Make America Great Again--sound familiar, you stupid son of a bitch?
Perhaps it should be opposed, no? No.
