…and turned off by Obama…

Last week, Barack Obama plaintively wailed at a rally for Kamala Harris, “I don’t understand how we got so toxic and just divided.” Who was this mystery culprit who injected so much hate into the national discourse? We must track down the man who did this to us!
I wanted to hand him a mirror.
Obama spent eight years in office tearing up American race relations, which we stupidly assumed had been solved when citizens of every race voted for him as president. But no: that was the start of a long national backslide — thanks to Obama himself.
As a loyal Alinskyite, Obama knew that division and full-blown race riots were the tried-and-true path to electoral victory for the Left, and he did not disappoint. He reignited animosities that had largely been sublimated, turned illegal immigration into a machete to use against American citizens’ sovereign rights, and, perhaps most cruelly, weaponized the federal government more brazenly against his political opponents than any previous president.
This election, the stakes are high for Obama: If Kamala loses, it will be the end of his pernicious shadow presidency once and for all.
Even worse, Democrats may finally realize who the prime architect of the catastrophe is: Obama himself. For he is the key figure responsible for the current predicament the Democrats find themselves in, hamstrung with a sputtering candidate and her bumbling running mate, handpicked for her by Eric Holder, longtime Obama confidant.
In 2020, Obama used all his considerable clout in the party to shut down all of Joe Biden’s primary opponents. He knew that in a race full of liberal women and Pete Buttigieg, only Joe could hang on to what remained of the Obama-Biden coalition and win. Plus, with Joe in the White House, Obama could keep running things from his estate on Martha’s Vineyard.
In 2020, Joe Biden was already nearing the end of his shelf life. The Hunter stuff was bad, but they could bury that. But how to hide Joe’s obvious decline? Ignore it and hope he could be dragged across the finish line.
When the 2024 debate disaster happened, Obama immediately posted on X that Joe just “had a bad night.” Incredibly, Kamala doubled down on Obama’s “bad night” excuse during her recent interview on NBC when a reporter pressed her on when she first saw the signs of Biden’s decline.
To date, Obama has never explained why one “bad night” was enough to end Biden’s campaign, but he was clearly desperate to protect his investment. He was betting that Joe was the only hope the Democrats had to win on their abysmal record. He still believed he needed Joe to stick around to be the “moderate” rust-belt face on his radical progressive agenda.
Because Obama knew Biden’s dopey-but-reassuring persona been the key to his political success for so many years in the Senate and again in 2020, he also must have known that Kamala, a wild-eyed radical way over her skis, who couldn’t speak coherently and was hated by her staffers, was going to be a long shot. That’s why Gavin Newsom was meeting with Obama in 2023, and touring the South, including Selma, Alabama, on his children’s spring break. Obama had Newsom do the Civil Rights pilgrimage in obvious preparation for a 2024 run.
When the Biden-Harris switch happened, the Obamas were silent. It took them three days to congratulate and endorse the new presumptive nominee. Imagine the panic in their mansion that weekend! Another four years of powerful influence blocked!? Trump — again?
I imagine holes being punched in walls of a tastefully decorated beige living room......SNIP
…and turned off by Obama…
There is still a week left.
There are too many of these articles. They will be sweet to read NEXT Wednesday!
Run through the tape!
GIRL’S BICYCLE :) :) :)
MISSED THAT before.
Always thought the umbrella dilemma was the best representation of OBAMA
We should remember that the original kingmaker, Warwick, was killed just a year after he betrayed the king and switched sides.
obama looks a lot older than his 63 years. He has worn himself out, and should leave DC for good!
Seem to remember everyone he stumped for lost, or cheated?
It is not Kings that Obama created but rather Jesters.
Does the little dweeb hunched over like he's sitting at the Thanksgiving children's table look like he's "leading" anything? Does Joe Biden, for that matter?
Try this, for starters:
