Hillary Clinton has a long list of people to blame for her 2016 loss. From Bernie Sanders to white women, Clinton has worked harder to put the fault on anyone but herself than she did trying to get elected.

But next up on the chopping block? Her former boss, and former President, Barack Obama.

Speaking to Hugh Hewitt on his radio show, Clinton lamented that she wasnt good enough to follow Obamas act, and couldnt run on the same platform of change that he did.

From Fox News:

It is true that when you run to succeed a two-term president of your own party, you have a historical headwind blowing against you, Clintontold radio host Hugh Hewitt. Its not just this campaign can be set apart from everything thats ever happened in our politics. It is a challenge.

If you are both the candidate defending a lot of the areas of agreement, but also putting forth an agenda for change, which is what I tried to do, it is often difficult to get the second part of that message through, she added. So I do think it was a problem.

I was proud to serve in the Obama administration. I did not agree with everything that President Obama decided, but on balance, I really think he did what had to be done to rescue the economy, which as we all remember, was in desperate straits, Clinton told the conservative radio host. He did chart a course in the world that favored diplomacy and negotiation, something that I think is important.

Clinton can point at others for her loss until the proverbial political cows come home, but what her loss really boils down to wasnt that Obamas act was hard to follow, or that women didnt vote for her because they were ordered not to by men.

As repeated studies have shown, it was Hillarys promotion of a culture that alienated many Americansthat caused voters to shy away. Clinton, along with the bevy of people who promoted her in the mainstream, along with the various social justice groups who seemed to support her, was wholly unattractive to Americans, and thus they voted for a guy people liked less than her.

In short, Clinton has no one to blame but her own ideological stances, her inability to sell her stances, and the company she kept.

Hillary Now Blames Barack Obama for Her 2016 Loss

The makers of Berger Cookies in Baltimore, Md., are concerned that that new rules will force them to discontinue their iconic cookie due to federal rules.

Under current proposed rules, companies will no longer be allowed to sell food containing partially hydrogenated oils, which contain trans fats, after June 18, 2018.

That rule will make it difficult for Charlie DeBaufre, president of DeBaufre Bakeries, to continue making the chocolate covered soft German-inspired cookies because the recipe contains trans fats. DeBaufre has not been able to create the Berger cookie taste without the using trans-fat-free ingredients.

I have spent $10,000 trying to get this worked out. I am not a big business. I dont have an R&D Department. I have to shut down production for a few hours, still pay people for labor, and then most of the product gets trashed. Its tough, DeBaufre told Atlas Obscura.

DeBaufre sells the cookies online, but it is only distributed in the southern Maryland and Washington, D.C. area, and the cookie has become a staple of Baltimore.

Twenty percent of my gray hair is caused by that fear, DeBaufre said. I didnt want some other Jack to come in and say, Here is this new cookie of Baltimore. Not on my watch! I feel I have a responsibility to the city of Baltimore.

The Food and Drug Administration released a final decision on the rule in 2015, giving businesses three years to comply with the change. Most large companies, like Oreo, Doritos, Hostess and have already moved away from using trans fats.

The Berger Cookie makes up 89 percent of DeBaufres business these days, and the trans fats play an indispensable role in the product. The oils make the chocolate creamy, allow the cookie to hold its shape in warm and cold climates, and prevent the cookie from crumbling, Atlas Obscura reports.

The push to regulate foods to be more healthy has drawn praise from health advocacy groups. After years of advocating for the removal of industrially produced trans fat from the countrys food supply, we couldnt be more gratified that this day has finally come, Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association, said when the rule was finalized in 2015.

New York city banned trans fats in 2006 under former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and city hospitals claim theyve seen a decline in heart disease in recent years.

The man that Malia Obama locked lips with at the Harvard/Yale football tailgate was the valedictorian of one Englands premier boarding schools. Rory Farquharson, 19, was revealed on November 22 to be the man who made out with the former first daughter on November 18. During the pre-game partying, Malia, 19 was also pictured having a cigarette. Farquharson joined Harvard in the fall of 2016 while Malia followed in her parents footsteps by enrolling at the ivy League school in the fall of 2017.

Heres what you need to know:

In August 2016, Farquharson posted a photo of himself to Facebook with pals outside of Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with the caption, So it begins. The only other pieces of information that can really be taken from Farquharsons Facebook page is that he grew up in London and attends Harvard as a member of the class of 2020.

Twitter/Conor HoustonFarquharson pictured with the governor of the Irish Times Conor Houston.

Farquharson was head boy or valedictorian of his high school, Rugby School, during his senior year 2015-16. A source who attended the school with Farquharson referred to Malias new squeeze as quite a catch. He was very popular, according to the Daily Mail.

Online records show that the tuition fees for Rugby School are in the region of $35,500, per year. During his time at the school, records show he played for both the school rugby and golf teams. Farquharson was not a total jock however, a school newsletter shows that he was also a member of the chemistry club known as the Blue Bunsen Society. The Daily Mail article adds that in 2015, Farquharson made a cameo in a video about the Rugby World Cup that also featured Prince Harry.

Twitter/Rory Farquharson

According to his Twitter page, Farquharson spent part of the summer of 2017 in Northern Ireland working for the Center for Democracy and Peace Building in Northern Ireland. For the record, Farquharson follows Trump on Twitter but not President Obama. Although his last tweet was an article that was severely critical of Trump and the populism that got him elected.

The Daily Telegraph reports that Farquharsons father if Charles Farquharson, 57, the chief executive of Insight Investment Management Limited in London. While the Telegraph also reports that his mother is Catherine Farquharson, 54, is a certified accountant who sits on the boards of financial tribunals in London.

While Sasha Obama finds romance at a music festival, her sister has been linked to Stanford graduate named Rob Franklin. Malia Obama has been working as an intern at Harvey Weinsteins office in New York City since leaving the White House. According to his LinkedIn page, Franklin works at the art dealer website Artsy.net and speaks three other languages, Spanish, French and Chinese.

Former U.S. President Barack Obama visits with youth leaders at the University of Chicago to help promote community organizing on April 24, 2017 in Chicago, Illinois. The visit marks Obamas first formal public appearance since leaving office.

Back in November 2016, President Obama told a radio station in Raleigh, North Carolina, about his feelings regarding boys dating his daughters. The president said:

The truth is, Im pretty relaxed about it for two reasons. One is Michelle. Shes taught- shes such a great example of how she carries herself, her self-esteem, not depending on boys to validate how you look or you know, not letting yourself be judged by anything other than your character and intelligence.

And hopefully, Ive been a good example in terms of how Ive shown respect to my wife. So I dont worry about it because theyre really solid, smart girls- young ladies now.

The president continued, The other reason is because theyve had Secret Service. Theres only so much these guys can do. These poor young men come by my house and No, they have an idea, I describe for them.

*_Thanksgiving Dinner November 23, 2017 4.33 pm_*HOST: Attention, everyone. I just wanted to extend a big hello to all our friends and relatives. Welcome to our humble home. _(everyone cheers)_ First of all, so as not to repeat the disaster that _was_ last Thanksgiving, weve decided to put the Trump supporters down the basement. And while that may not _sound_ great, there are three big-screen TVs blasting Fox News down there and you can wear your MAGA hats at the dinner table so theres that. Ooh, and if we could keep the accidental shootings amongst you Trump folks down to two this year, thatd be fantastic.

Now, as for the rest of us those who still believe two plus two equals four well be eating in the formal dining room, having intelligent conversation, and using things like utensils and facts. _(Voice in Crowd: Fake news!)_

Also, to the Alex Jones fans among us before you even ask me the answer is yes: this dinner is not actually happening and is all a conspiracy cooked up by demon-spawn Hillary Clinton and funded by billionaire George Soros. So congrats you called it. Also, once Ive wrapped up the leftovers, you Alex Jones fans can help yourselves to all the tinfoil left on the roll. _(Uncle Marty: Woohoo)_

Oh, and will the person with the giant Confederate flag painted on their 2002 Kia Spectra please move your car. Youre parked in front of a fire hydrant or as the Alex Jones fans call them, Deep State Spy Spigots. _(Uncle Marty: Damn right they are!!)_ Anyway, itd be great if you could park your General Lee a little further down the street ya know, on the far right.

And lastly, as a side note, my proudly bigoted second cousin Harlan who last year wore the Jews Will Not Replace Us jacket has been replaced this year by my long-time accountant, Irv Fishman. Great to have you here, Irv, and thanks for the Matzah balls.

Anyhoo, welcome again, thanks for joining us, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!! _(everyone cheers)_

Trump Even Made Pardoning Turkeys About Obama - Late Night Feud

I came across an open invitation on the Internet to join the Obama Foundation and thought I should sign up. So I did that. I am not able to locate where I saw that - perhaps on Facebook somewhere.

Here's the Obama Foundation website: https://www.obama.org/.

I got an email from the Obama foundation after signing up. BTW after sign up a dollar contribution window comes up which I did not respond to.

I felt it appropriate to share what I wrote back on the email I got from Obama Foundation. I think it is not appropriate to share Obama Foundation's mail to me even though it seems to be a standard non-profit org response. I would be glad to receive any thoughts and suggestions readers have on this. Thanks.

Here's what I wrote them (slightly edited):

To: Obama Foundation

Dear sir/madam,

I am a social media writer on spirituality, religion and other topics. I was inspired by the global vision that Mr. Obama had when he was president of the USA and articulated that vision very effectively. In particular, I was impressed by his multi-faith (including those of no faith) approach in an age where some people associated with some religions (one in particular) had, and still, give a very bad name to religion due to their violence committed in the name of religion. Mr. Obama ensured that bad actions of a few associated with a religion did not result in persecution of other innocent and law abiding adherents of that religion. I very much appreciate these efforts of him and his presidential administration.

In his speeches, Mr. Obama as USA President, expressed a knowledge based view on economic, health, education and environmental (climate change) challenges faced by the world. I very much appreciate those contributions of Mr. Obama.

I do have many constraints on what I could do to contribute to Obama foundation. Perhaps one area where I could contribute is to share initiatives of Obama Foundation which I agree with, on social media.

Thanks & Regards
