TRUMP AND OBAMA: TWO PRESIDENTS TWO DIFFERENT TREATMENTS.

ICHEOKU says a case of different folks different strokes. The righteous indignation of the far left liberal crazies continuously oozes to the surface with such blatancy that shocks the conscience. Their latest umbrage is that President Donald John Trump called to congratulate Russia's President Vladimir Putin on his election victory of last Sunday March 18, 2018. At least President Donald John Trump was magnanimous by personally owning up to the call, unlike the then President Obama who merely issued a statement through the White House to convey that. Obama's White House had on March 9, 2012 or thereabout issued a statement saying that “President Obama called Russian President-elect and Prime Minister Putin to congratulate him on his recent victory in the Russian Presidential election." Today, March 20, 2018, President Donald John Trump told the world, "I had a call with President Putin and congratulated him on the victory, his electoral victory." But the liberal left will not tolerate it.

ICHEOKU says why is it suddenly now not okay for a president to call to congratulate the president of another country on his election victory, especially, when according to White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee, America does not tell other countries how to conduct their elections or who to elect as their president or leader; as that will amount to interfering in other countries' internal affairs matter. So what did President Donald John Trump do so wrong and so differently that even his arch critic Senator John McCain had to  summon up strength from his sick bed to lecture the president on how American presidents do not congratulate dictators on their election. According to McCain, “An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections. And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine their country's future, including the countless Russian patriots who have risked so much to protest and resist Putin's regime." 

ICHEOKU says but where was the same Senator John McCain when the man who defeated him in the 2008 presidential election, President Barack Hussein Obama, similarly called to congratulate the same President Vladimir Putin on his election victory in 2012? Why did Senator John McCain not condemn President Barack Obama then or was President Vladimir Putin not a dictator in 2012 and suddenly only morphed into one in 2018 simply because President Donald John Trump became president? It is simply unbelievable the quantum of envy fueled hatred which is propelling these anti Trump and Never Trump crazies, including the sick old man McCain; people who seem to indulge themselves in excessive selective amnesia as they pick and chose what they want to remember in their disgusting effort at piling up on an innocent man, whose only sin was that he won an election against their preferred insider Queen Crooked Hillary Clinton. 

Again, President Donald John Trump is being chastised for engaging Cambridge Analytica for data collection and analysis during the last election; a thing which every politician and political aspirants normally do in their quest to target and get their message to their possible voters. It is instructive that President Barack Obama both campaigns in 2008 and 2012, engaged in identically the same thing which Cambridge Analytica is now being accused of helping President Donald John Trump do. Obama's campaign extensively mined Facebook data base during his two presidential elections campaigns and engaged Rentrak for the purpose. So why the outrage now being expressed with President Donald John Trump's copycat; which was no where to be seen when President Barack Obama did the same thing then? Why did Facebook see the Obama campaign’s use of its data as acceptable, but now says that Cambridge Analytica’s similar use of its data was objectionable, since there is no practical distinctions between the two usages. 

But the answer seems to have been supplied by former Obama for America director of Integration of Media Analytics, Carol Davidson, who said as follows: “Facebook was surprised we were able to suck out the whole social graph, but they didn’t stop us once they realized that was what we were doing. They came to office in the days following election recruiting and were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side.” Yes indeed, Facebook was in-bed and riding with Team Obama, hence whatever data mining Obama's campaign carried out was okay and permissible; but being an anti Trump wild eyed liberal, it changed the rules of the game midstream and now frowns at Cambridge Analytica and by extension President Donald John Trump for using the same services which was extended to Obama. 

ICHEOKU says double standard could not have been better defined. What a people, who selectively apply their indignation depending on who they are targeting and as they see fit; and with whom there is no single fair playing one cap fits all standard. ICHEOKU says it adds to the feeling among millions of adept Trump loyalists and supporters, including ICHEOKU, that the attacks being levied against the president lack merit and if anything, is just a reaction to the surprise victory he recorded in the last election. The Deep State and membership thereinto are still raving mad that they were forced out of power and can no longer control the narrative in Washington. They are fighting back with everything in their arsenal, launching mortars following mortars; and hoping to hit a bullseye. They are mad as hell that President Donald John Trump is trying to turn everything upside down on their heads, which will render them useless and influential; and they do not want to lose their hold on America.  Nearly two years following their loss of the November 8, 2016 election and they have refused to let go and move on. They have not recovered from the shock and they are acting out and lashing out. Pitiful fellas.
