So, Let's See: Obama's Far Too Ethical to Discuss Hillary's Email Server?

President Obama uses the White House, and even the Oval Office, to deliver monologues against Donald Trump. It's inappropriate, defies protocol and ethics for a sitting president not to wait until he's away from the office where he conducts the official business of the United States -- and he knows it. But what does he care, he's out in January.

Nevertheless, on Saturday -- when he finally was away from the White House -- Obama told a reporter to not even bother asking a question about the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server.

He said he would continue to decline to comment on the investigation, as he has done for months.

But wait a minute. The investigation was paraded on network television around the world Friday, when FBI Director James Comey testified before a congressional committee. Was the president's silence really necessary on Saturday? Or was it merely politically advantageous?

"I'm going to continue to be scrupulous about not commenting on it just because I think Director Comey could not have been more exhaustive," Obama said, cutting off the question of a reporter during a press conference in Warsaw Poland, at a NATO summit.

If I understand it correctly, these are the rules, Obama-style: it's OK to lambaste Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the White House, when no reporter asked a question about him; but when he does get a question about the Democratic presidential candidate who carries his banner? Oh, no, sorry, I'm too ethical to get into that.

Try to imagine the media's collective manic outrage if George W. Bush had pulled anything like this eight years ago.

Obama's hypocrisy doesn't quit. And why should it if the mainstream media are going to look the other way?
