How do you know the Democrats are worried and desperate? They're now pulling out the only "big guns" they have left including Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
Obama was in Pittsburgh for a Black Voters for Harris event. He spoke to about 40 people and he identified a big problem that Kamala Harris faces: that she isn't generating much enthusiasm for her. What's the problem, according to Barack Obama? It's on the "brothas."
"We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters in our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running," Obama said, frowning.
"Now, I also want to say that seems to be more pronounced with the brothas. So if you don't mind, just for a second, I'm going to speak to y'all for a minute."
Then what he offered was a typical blatant appeal to race, defining why they should vote for Harris not by what she has done or what she would do to help the country, but by she grew up like them and "understands" the same struggles.
I don't know about you think, but it sounds to me like he's struggling to whip up enthusiasm.
He sounds pretty nervous to me, and he'd be right to be, given all the signs and polls. It sounds like he knows he can't even be convinced of the people in the room who are already supposed to be the "convinced." The responses on X from many black people were also not receptive to being talked to like that by Obama.
Yes, Harris is struggling with black men. But she's struggling with all men, as even MSNBC has acknowledged. And that's just one demo group. She's also lost people from the far left, union members, Hispanics, even young people 18-29 that you would think would be normally rock solid for Democrats. It's a big change from both Obama and Biden.

They can come up with all manner of excuses but that's the reality and it's showing up in all the polls and it's going to particularly hurt her in places like Pittsburgh and in the other Rust Belt areas. Doesn't sound like she's generating a lot of "joy."
The problem is a simple one. Men and the other people fleeing Harris know they had it better under Trump, they've seen the failure that Kamala has been a big part of, indeed she can't or wouldn't even say what she would do differently. So why should they buy into this again, after how harmful the last few years have been? Why would they be convinced by Obama trying to scold them?
This is Obama’s “sure I said you couldn’t skip over the fake black woman but this is not my fault” tour.
Obama:
“I can not believe I have to stump for Kamala because of that lousy shot we got and then the new guy we put out there with the scope got caught.”
Obama pretended to be something he wasn't. Especially in 2008. He ran as a moderate at the time.
Now he is only popular with his base. His act got old. He thinks that he has moved America to the Left. So he is having a hard time understanding why the voters haven't responded to Kamala.
Maybe it's because we're sexist.
Obama was the beneficiary of massive financing from donors and a propagandist main stream media that slavishly and enthusiastically supported him. In his case he had a modicum of political ability and intelligence. Harris is also the beneficiary of massive financing and support from the propagandistic main stream media. This election will show if in America these factors will result in the election of a vapid, mentally handicapped woman with an abysmal political record.
Illegal immigration is having a big effect on the black bite imo
Bro knows he’s viewed as an UT but he tries so hard to ‘blend in’. Fool a Brotha’ once, its impossible to fool him agin. But hes tryin. Bro is tryin reeeel hard to be the shepherd.
The advantage that Barry had in 2008 is that he succeeded in snowing a large segment of the population into believing that he was some sort of messiah who, through his god-like intelligence, wisdom, charisma and force of personality, was going to work social, political and economic miracles.
Remember Mark Morford’s “lightworker” opinion piece?

I remember election day 2008, and my local polling place happened to be a k-8 public school. I remember departing school kids screaming at us voters things like, “You’ve got to vote for Obama. We need him!” It was quite a jonestown-like mentality.
There’s none of that now. Hell, even if Obama could officially run for a 3rd term, he himself couldn’t revive what he had in 2008. His two terms were crap, and everyone knows it. No one really expects anything of Kamala, let alone miracles. Her whole shtick is that she’s not Donald Trump. That’s it.
Obama goes to Pennsylvania and speaks to 40 people, Trump goes to Pennsylvania and speaks to 16,000.
Maybe he could tell the fellas what brand of tampon he and Timmy prefer.
Is be more interested in having Big Mike explain what brand he-she prefers.
I am sure “the brutha’s” were all moved to pieces...
All 40 of them. What a crowd he draws!
And they first began their major cheating efforts for Obama’s 2nd term.
His 12% turnout in swing states was never addressed, and once they saw it was never going to be questioned they ramped it up considerably for hilLIARy, but Trumps overwhemling popularity swamped their efforts.
For Biden they took no chances and they had 80 Million possible fraudulent votes ready for him. That is how they were able to shut down 4 critical polling places and magically find 4 million votes at 4 AM in those places, and no one in the media batted an eye, and the derp state never let any of it go to court. (all cases were dismissed for ‘standing’ issues- no evidence was EVER seen in court)
Spoke to 40 people?
Wow....
“...Obama Gets Honest About Kamala’s Big Problem...”
She doesn’t have a problem. She IS the problem!!
I meant 120% turnout
“Harris is struggling with black men.”
So now the euphemism for what she does with black man is, “struggling”. Is Willie offended?
