Barack Obama, the Hannibal Lecter of politics
American Thinker ^ | 19 Sep, 2025 | Jeannie DeAngelis

Through clever innuendo and seemingly noncommittal suggestion, Barack Obama has spent two decades subtly dividing America socially, racially, and politically.

Obama is known for making his points with surgical precision. No one can deny that, armed with a sharpened teleprompter, an emotionally detached Barack Obama appears as a methodical, unemotional speaker skilled at disguising deep-seated hostility as civility.

The former president’s detached eloquence bears resemblance to that of the fictional character, serial killer and cannibal Hannibal Lecter.

Hannibal had a complex psyche that could be hidden behind a refined manner of expressing rage, with his wrath concealed behind a façade of feigned grace and collegiality; that is precisely what Barack Obama does.

From the beginning, Obama worked hard to craft the narrative that the real threat to this nation was patriotic Americans who adhered to the Constitution. It started in April 2009, when the newly elected president directed Janet Napolitano’s DHS to focus on nonexistent right-wing threats in America. The administration’s assessment titled, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Radicalization and Recruitment," became the basis for a tone that would define an aggressive presidency — where everyone from pro-lifers to the military, pro-Second Amendment activists, and Americans advocating for immigration law were viewed as threats.

The racial element that sparked division in America was fueled by the statement in the document that mentioned recruitment for right-wing extremism was vigorous among those most upset about “the election of the first African-American president.”

Fast forward sixteen years, and like Hannibal Lecter sending condolences to his victim’s family, at the Jefferson Educational Society’s 17th annual global summit in Erie, Pennsylvania, a blasé former president decided he needed to extend sympathy for the death of Charlie Kirk, who was murdered on September 10th by a trans activist’s assassin’s bullet

LOL. I agree. Obama is easily the most evil of all US Presidents. He speaks with a fake yet calm eloquence that hides the dark menace beneath.

Incredible fraud on the country that his true identity was concealed and a persona fabricated to destroy America.

No he didn’t. Obama was an obvious liar.

Democrats were too stupid and blinded to see it.

I’ve always believed the greatest threat to the life and liberty of any free nation or people is a liberal White female.
