In Putins Circle, Obama Was the 'N-Word
By Richard Prince
The Root, 3/16/18
Russian President Vladimir Putin was so contemptuous of Barack Obama that Putins aides, if not Putin himself, would refer to the United States first black president using the N-word, according to a just-released book by two investigative reporters.
Michael Isikoff, now chief investigative correspondent for Yahoo News, and David Corn, Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones, also cite information indicating that Donald Trump, who had claimed that Obama was not born in the United States, vied with Putin in his hatred of the 44th president. They report on a controversial dossier that said Trump hired prostitutes to defile space where the American president and first lady had slept.
Putin and his inner circle had nothing but utter contempt for Obama and his administration much of it cast in racist terms, Isikoff and Corn write in Russian Roulette: : The Inside Story of Putins War on America and the Election of Donald Trump.
Putin and his top advisers routinely denigrated Obama and his national security team as weak and indecisive and then, contradictorily, blamed him for meddling in Russias internal affairs. In Putins presence, Obama would be called a monkey, and it was not uncommon for the American president to be referred to as the N-word.
