The game's over Mr President - and your team lost. End your Trump temper tantrum and show some dignity

What’s Barry’s game?
That’s the question many of President Obama’s basketball opponents have asked over the years as Barack hurtled himself around the court in the final minutes of a match.
From all accounts he could be a mean, nasty sonofabitch in those final few seconds, especially if his team was losing.
The answer to my question is thus self-evident: to win at all costs.
That ethos made Obama a very competitive basketball player, and a very effective politician.
Obama’s spent the past few weeks desperate to snatch some semblance of victory from the jaws of a crushing, humiliating defeat and, as some critics sneer, done more governing than he’s done in eight years
But it is currently causing many Americans to ask: ‘At what cost?’
Obama’s spent the past few weeks charging around like a guy who’s watching the clock tick down and is desperate to snatch some semblance of victory from the jaws of a crushing, humiliating defeat.
Since the election, as the New York Times reported, he’s banned oil drilling off the Atlantic coast, named over 100 people to a range of senior government jobs, created new environmental monuments, commuted the sentences of 232 inmates and pardoned 78 others, protected funding for Planned Parenthood clinics, ordered the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo Bay and blocked new Israeli settlements.
As some critics sneer, it’s more governing than he’s done in eight years.
In his most dramatic action, Obama claimed Russia swung the election Trump’s way by hacking Hillary Clinton’s emails and leaking them to Wikileaks to destroy her campaign.
He retaliated by throwing out a load of Russian diplomats.
The fact Obama produced no hard evidence to substantiate this very serious claim didn’t seem to matter to the former constitutional law expert.
Nor did it seem to cross his mind that the really damaging part was the content of Hillary and her team’s explosive emails, not the fact we could all read them.
Oh, and of course there was the small matter of Hillary secretly setting up her own private email server to avoid any of that annoying judicial scrutiny that normally comes with being a high-ranking member of the US Government.
The President’s purpose by blaming Russia is crystal clear: as Wikileaks founder Julian Assange told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview that airs tonight, it was to ‘delegitimize the Trump administration as it goes into the White House.’
Assange said he was ‘1000%’ confident Vladimir Putin’s Russian government had not hacked the DNC emails.
‘Our source is not the Russian government and it is not a state party,’ he said.
But it suits Obama’s game to say that it was all down to Putin because it distracts from the real reason.
Obama is doing every to try and delegitimise Trump's presidency before it begins - but Donald didn’t win the presidency because of Russia, emails or James Comey
