Michael Goodwin wants Barack Obama’s phone calls released following Ukraine inquiry
New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin wants to know what Barack Obama discussed with world leaders, during his time in the White House.
As President Trump faces an impeachment inquiry over how he handled a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin said he wants to see former President Barack Obama’s calls with world leaders for a proper comparison.
“There’s a lot about these calls that are strange, in the sense that we have no basis for comparison. We don’t know what presidents say to foreign leaders,” he told “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday.
“Only under Donald Trump have we gotten these transcripts either released or leaked. And I would love to know what did Barack Obama say to the Iranians? What did he say to the Russians?” Goodwin continued. “I suspect a lot of these calls have innocuous chatter because you have two leaders, each with their own domestic politics issues.”
Goodwin said calls between world leaders likely center on minor complaints and the intense demands of the job, as opposed to anything heinous or criminal.
“They probably have these kind of group gripe sessions sometimes where they share horror stories about their own politics,” he said. “I don’t think anything in this call is outrageous.”
Goodwin also compared the Ukraine whistleblower complaint to the revelation about federal government spying that occurred against Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and said the president must compete with alleged spies and traitors lurking within the White House.
“It very much begins to feel like 2016 all over again,” he said in the interview. “You had the CIA, the FBI spying on the Trump campaign. Now you have a CIA officer within the White House gathering information, going to Democrats in Congress with… Democrat-connected lawyers. And shaping this in a way that sounds as though it’s almost written by ‘The New York Times,’ for ‘The New York Times.’
“The walls in the White House have ears,” Goodwin added. “Whatever he says, somebody is listening to, and that’s proper with a president. But these are people who are out to get him in many cases… There has been a movement against this president by law enforcement, by the CIA, John Brennan, James Clapper [and James] Comey.”

Not only is this another backfire for the Democrat’s attack machine, we may get to hear Obama’s treasonous conversations with world tyrants before the election.

Did Russia think highly of the Obama’s?
LOL! Not in your wildest dreams. It showed with how their media covered them.
A Russian MP, Irina Rodnina superimposed a banana on her Twitter account picture of Obama and Michelle.
Little did she know how true that really could have been…..

I would like to see the Obama personal records that he had boxed up and removed but which were to be sealed for 10 years. Supposedly, some were to be selectively video taped as part of his official library when it was built. Where they are presently, I don’t know, but I read they did not go to the National Archives.

Imagine if it were Trump who had that hot mike moment and told the Russian to tell Vladimir I will be able to be more flexible after the election? They would have impeached Trump immediately. They are all going down for their treason and soon i pray.

I don’t know why that had not gotten more publicity. A few years ago I was at a party with relatives and mentioned that conversation. NOT ONE PERSON THERE KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT! I pulled it up on my phone and showed them. They were all astonished.

We need to make a law that only third generation Americans born and bred can hold any position of power whether elected or appointed, even cops. Do you want a Muslim cop pulling you over at night? Spouses exempt such as being a First Lady. No commies, no socialists, no Muslims. Obama may or may not have been born here, but he certainly wasn’t raised here. He has no loyalty to our nation now and never did. It has become obvious that we also need some recourse when those whom have taken an oath and then openly break that oath can be held accountable and removed from that position, especially judges. Lack of accountability is a grave problem that is destroying us.

I lost all respect for Barry during the campaign when I heard him speaking one morning and wondered if it was an MLK speech that I had not heard. It turns out it was obama speaking to a Black audience, putting on a fake MLK accent.

I lost any respect that I may have potentially had for him the first time I heard his name!!
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
My first question was (and still is) how can Americans even consider this guy as their leader?? Totally un-American and obviously a zero). And I immediately found the answer in 2 Thess. ch.2 v 10-11-12.
“For I shall send them strong delusion; that they should believe the lie and not be saved, for they loved evil over righteousness”. Merriam Webster defines “strong delusion” as ‘mental insanity’. So, there you go. God Himself has given the people what they wanted, a corrupt, deceiving, lying leader that ‘tickled their ears’ with a promise of ‘fundamentally changing America’. And boy, has he ever. Just take a look around at the insane world we live in. Insane!! Transgenderism…cut this and snip that and voila, you have changed a little boy into a girl…INSANE !! Obama opened the door to all this evil, even to having American soldiers in highheels. (him and Mikey Winestein).
Remember this….God sent Obama as a judgment on America but, God sent President Trump as a judgment on the world !!
Maranatha, come Lord………..<><

Yes you are correct and that is a great biblical citation. It reminded me of when I was a medical student and the ethics of sex change surgery was raised.
The question posed was “if a person came to you and said that his/her right hand keeps stealing things (even though he does not steal) and requests that you amputate the right hand to prevent it from stealing when he does not agree with that action; would you comply? After all you have an obligation to first do no harm. How can you justify removing a man’s penis because he believes that it does not belong there and does not reflect what is in his heart and mind?” This was deemed to be an unethical act of mutilation.
But a lot of doctors seem to disagree with that. They have decided to do the surgery because if they were not paid to do it someone else would be paid to do it AND of course it is better for you to get paid that someone else.
It is a very sad state of affairs.

I would also like to see Obama’s medical records, undergraduate transcripts, documents concerning any financial assistance that he received, his passports and any and all documents relating to his place of birth and citizenship and relinquishment of US citizenship. And BTW, since the courts have ruled that Congress can get DT’s tax records, I want to see Obama’s tax records too.
