He never mentioned him by name, but former President Barack Obama made it clear Friday at a rally in Miami’s Overtown that by electing Andrew Gillum governor of Florida, the state can deliver a blow to President Donald Trump....

On Friday, the faithful jammed into a sweltering, cavernous room at Miami’s Ice Palace Film Studios, several attendees wearing Obama T-shirts they said dated to his first run for the presidency in 2008. Gillum’s campaign said more than 4,000 people attended....

There were a couple hecklers, Obama looked like a spotlighted deer. Check it C-Span: https://www.c-span.org/video/?453916-1/president-obama-campaigns-democrats-florida Start at 31:30 where Obama is reading from the teleprompter. He gets heckled at 31:38 or so and is still reading. Then he says "you know what, it's an old playbook, it's the one that the powerful and privileged turn to whenever control starts slipping away..." He is reading all of it from the teleprompter as the heckler is dragged off.

[struggle]

Obama sounded really rattled and off his game.

“character of the country” is on the line

Yeah, we might remain an English speaking, law abiding, Constitution respecting country despite his best efforts.

PROJECT VERITAS CAUGHT THIS LITTLE BLACK BASTARD ON TAPE.

Omar Smith, a Gillum staffer, on PROJECT VERITAS tape stated the Gillum campaign has “to appeal to white guilt.”
Smith indicated on tape that Gillum is a bald-faced liar. "If Gillum is elected “None of the programs Gillum is promising would happen.”

<><> “Raise the corporate tax in Florida from 7 to 11 percent. That will never happen.

<><> Raise teacher’s pay to $50,000, that will never happen.

<><> Medicare for all will never happen."

=======================================

But a high paid govt job for Omar WILL happen

Osama Obama should have his mouth washed out with soap for having the audacity to utter the word “character”.

[Jeff Chandler]

“character of the country” is on the line

Now there's a winning campaign slogan.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"warns voters “character of the country” is on the line"

Kenya, Indonesia or Wakanda ?

[Gay State Conservative]

Medicare for all??? Good God....VERMONT decided against that.

This guy Gillum is REALLY bad news: According to a report by Aaron Klein of Brietbart.
Gillum directed a radical youth training organization whose mission was:

<><> to challenge U.S. “predatory capitalism,”

<><> abolish the prison system,

<><> fight a “spiritual resistance”

<><> battle against “Christian hegemony,”

<><> redefine the meaning of “borders” while aiding “undocumented” aliens,

<><> enact the “collective liberation” of “communities of color” amid the scourge of “white supremacy.”

Gillum’s group accused the US of

<><> being a “colonialist” power

<><> perpetrating “structural violence” and “continued genocide”

<><> blamed conservatives in the U.S. judicial system as “justifying white supremacist policing practices.”

POS talking about “character”...

Mayor Andrew Gillum and the Mystery of 311 East Jennings Street-——a morass of addresses, interconnections, swaps and deals raising questions about Mayor Gillum’s alliances.

Gillum was elected to the city commission in 2003 and became mayor in 2014; insists he has been told he is not the target of the FBI inquiry.

<><>local businessman J.T. Burnette, a major Gillum backer who in 2014 received $883,000 in city subsidies for developing a downtown hotel. He declined to comment for this story. Burnette, in fact, has become a major political player supporting candidates of both parties – by taking advantage of what’s known as the LLC loophole. Florida is one of several states that allows limited liability corporations – even if they have the same ownership — to contribute as separate individuals, permitting donors to give the maximum amount of $1,000 from each of their subsidiaries.

<><> 52 LLCs list the Jennings Street address, many of which have donated to state and local campaigns. Those businesses include Sunnyland Solar, connected to a city-subsidized liberal-loving clean energy project now under FBI scrutiny. Mayor Gillum voted in 2011 to give Sunnyland Solar up to $5.4 million in subsidies.

<><>The Jennings Street address also houses KaiserKane, a national security contractor with millions of dollars in federal contracts, including multimillion-dollar deals with the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice.

<><>KaiserKane, named in the FBI subpoena, actually bought the Jennings Street property in 2013 for $1.15 million, records show. The building was sold in 2016 to 311 Jennings LLC, a company that lists Burnette’s home as its corporate address. The Jennings building was sold again in March 2017 to the PACE Center for Girls, a Jacksonville-based nonprofit. KaiserKane still uses the address for its Tallahassee office on its website “contact” page. Cynthia Montgomery, a lawyer representing PACE, said her client is the lone occupant of the 12,000-square-foot building. KaiserKane President Melissa Oglesby did not return a call.

<><> Mayor Gillum’s actions have prompted other questions. Until last month, his campaign was operating out of 1550 Melvin, owned by longtime confidante Sharon Lettman-Hicks. It’s the same building he has worked out of in his side gigs, first as director of youth leadership for the advocacy group People for the American Way, then for Lettman-Hicks’ P & P Communications, where Gillum was vice president. Just what he did for P & P, though, is not known. The company has no website, no dedicated phone line and has not formally disclosed its clients.

<><> The building was bought with funding from the Northwest Florida Black Business Investment Corporation, a tax-exempt group that provides investment funding. Two of the investment corporation directors are part of a group that in July received $281,000 in Tallahassee community development money for exclusive rights to a development project in the city.

Shocked how bad Barry looks: sunken eyes, feeble and weak body, voice cracking.

Nelson has a permanent smile from stretching his face.

[Jane Long]

Ha! This usurper/poser tried in vain to besmirch the good character of this great nation.

Thank God that PDJT is working tirelessly to return our good character and culture. Nothing of which this fool knows anything about.

Buzz off, loser.

[palmer]

Nelson looked like a grinning idiot.

[adorno]

No matter how many campaign stops and speeches Gillum makes, and no matter how many celebrities support his campaign, the only thing that matters to the Gillum voters (and democrats) is the color of his skin and how many things he promises to get them for free.

The democratic party is all about pitting the races against each other, and bribing their voters with free stuff.

[matt04]

I only listened to a few clips. He seemed off his “campaign mode” game.

[House Atreides]

Obama sounded really rattled and off his game.
****************************************
The TelePrompTer-in-Chief was absent. That absence shaved 30 points off of Obama’s APPARENT IQ yielding his actual IQ of 105. His natural state is to babble incoherently.

[wjcsux]

I believe that deep down, 0bama really knows that he really is a sorry POS.

[catnipman]

“Obama warns voters “character of the country” is on the line”

glad he “warned” us of that, because no one in the country knew that until obama weighed in ...

[catnipman]

if the GOP holds the House and increases its Senate majority (as expected), it’s very, very doubtful that Obama will ever hit the campaign trail ever again ... even if the GOP loses the House, I still don’t think obama will campaign any more ... it’s way too much work and his audiences are WAY too small ... and those audiences will continue to shrink as obama becomes more and more irrelevant with each passing year ... after this coming Tuesday I don’t think we’re going to see much of obama any more ...
