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
The brothers may not be voting for #Kamunism. Barak may get angry. Very angry indeed.
Trump broke the Bushs.
Trump broke the Clintons.
Trump broke the Bidens.
Is he breaking Obama too?
God, I hope so!
No.
If they can’t cheat this election because trump is too far ahead, they will punish republican with lawfare, destroy their lives, then cheat next election while no one is looking
We’ll see...whether he manages to turn a turd in to a President or not
Obama - like Hillary - will be around for decades. He’ll be like the rat that dies while crawling around in the walls. There will be a “mysterious” stench for years.
So we can truncate Obama's BS to simply "I don't understand."
Gosh, that's "deplorable...."
Even with his chi-town drop walk and conversatin’ with the ‘bruthas’, think brobama is done. Move along.
Obama was always over-rated. He was never the puppet master as some on FR keep insisting - just another puppet.
I’ll concede he made a far more convincing puppet than, say, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris - but he was never the master of anything.
Depends on who wins the Democrat civil war going on right now.
Obama lecturing young black males how to be men was not well received. Word on the urban street tells the tale of what really happened to Obama’s cook and Obama’s relationship with the guy.
No
He is moving into war mode. a true marxist he will now want to have civil war
Without the cover of full-on 24/7 deep-state narrative and media protection, Obama is revealing himself to be what he was all along
He’s clearly a homosexual, who married the awkward and manly Michelle as a beard. He’s smooth talking, but not deep, holding reactionary leftist views. He let the permanent bureaucracy/deep-state run the country in areas most important to them. The DNC neo-marxists took over the rest. In other words, he was the perfect puppet.
Kind of off topic, but I will never forget the first wookie referring to her husband’s “home country” of Kenya. The Obamination was not even born in the US.
If she loses....yes.
Obama has lost the youth vote. It’s only around 16% of the vote, but Biden won 60% of them.
I believe it’s Trump’s youth now.
Obama is so overrated. All he does is read from a teleprompter. He’s a puppet just like the rest of them.
No fourth term for the kenyan/indonesian muzzie b@st@rd!
Shouldn’t kingmaker be queenmaker this time around?
