People who worked for the Obama administration seem to have serious issues with self-awareness, as in they don’t have any.
From Susan Rise to Samantha Power to Jon Favreau to Ben Rhodes, they either think people were too ignorant to realize what was going on under Obama OR they were just so enamored of their king they couldn’t see it themselves.
Take for example this tweet …
While we are all numbed, taxing media that you don't like is right out of the authoritarian playbook (and would have been astonishing and unrecognizable 16 months ago) https://t.co/hO0SeFNMjl

Umm, Ben?
What’s it like to wake up every morning and not remember that you’re Ben Rhodes?
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) April 1, 2018
Not nearly as bad as it feels when he is reminded that he is.
— Kyle Beckley (@Kyle_Beckley) April 1, 2018
Heh.
You know what, maybe Ben should talk to James Rosen or Sharyl Attkisson?
Yeah, you should chat with @SharylAttkisson and @JamesRosenTV about that…

Just a thought …
Where do you put spying on reporters, demanding to see phone records of their patents or even threatening to prosecute them in the authoritarian handbook? https://t.co/toCg3dIpZ2
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) April 1, 2018
Apparently, he puts them completely OUT of his mind.

A Yahoo story even, Ben.
Ouch.
You mean the playbook written about spying on journalists and their families?

This didn’t go over so hot, Ben.

Right?
You know what else is numbing? Your incredible lack of self awareness.
— Mike Bullard (@bullimusmaximus) April 1, 2018
It is impressively nonexistent.
Speaking of "authoritarian" – Your boss targeted members of the media and turned the DOJ loose on them.
Holy memory lapse, Batman!
— Blue State Snooze (@BlueSnoozeBlue) April 1, 2018
Yes, you are definitely numbed…
— Dwarfclone (@Dwarfclone) April 1, 2018
That’s a nice way of putting it.
Do you know this for a fact or did you hear about from a YouTube video?

And curtain.
