Most Republicans spat out their drinks when Obama said that. Then again, he lies so effortlessly, we shouldn’t have been surprised.
Every time that phrase was used here, it was said sarcastically.

Obama was always a political meat puppet for the DNC, born in the cauldron of crooked Chicago politics. The question will be is this dirty politics of the lowest order, or is it flat out treason? #ObamaGate t.co/rtD2xDwkv4

The Swamp, led by Obama, is totally melting down AND IT’S GLORIOUS! No amount of op-ed writing, or “leaked” Obama audio, is going to save them from being exposed.
It’s full steam ahead and the Swamp rat 🐀 hysterics cannot stop what’s coming. The truth will come out.

YES, IT DOES: It looks like President Obama ordered up phony RussiaGate scandal.
RussiaGate is now a complete dead letter — but ObamaGate is taking its place. Just how far did the then-president go to cripple his successor?
It’s now clear the Obama-Comey FBI and Justice Department never had anything more substantial than the laughable fiction of the Steele dossier to justify the “counterintelligence” investigation of the Trump campaign. Yet incessant leaks from that supposedly confidential probe wound up consuming the Trump administration’s first months in office — followed by the Bob Mueller-led special-counsel investigation that proved nearly the “total witch hunt” that President Trump dubbed it.
Information released as the Justice Department dropped its charges against Gen. Mike Flynn shows that President Barack Obama, in his final days in office, played a key role in fanning the flames of phony scandal. Fully briefed on the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, he knew the FBI had come up with nothing despite months of work starting in July 2016.
Yet on Jan. 5, 2017, Obama told top officials who’d be staying on in the new administration to keep the crucial facts from Team Trump.
It happened at an Oval Office meeting with Vice President Joe Biden, intel chiefs John Brennan and Jim Clapper and National Security Adviser Susan Rice, as well as FBI Director Jim Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.
Gangster government, to use Michael Barone’s phrase.
