Obama, Who Purged Military, Accuses Trump of “Politicization of the Military”

“That is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy.”

Even more than Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama led the most radical effort to politicize the United States military. An effort that his allies and Sen. Warren’s continued under the Biden admin.

Between firing commanders in what many described as a ‘purge’ and rewarding wokeness while punishing conservative ideals when it came to promotion, saddling the military with leftist priorities like DEI and green energy, Obama drastically weakened the military by politicizing it resulting in such disasters as Benghazi and the capture of US military personnel by Iran.

But now that DEI is being slowly rolled back, Obama popped up to denounce Trump for, you guessed it…

Former President Obama criticized President Trump for deploying the National Guard to cities around the country, slamming what he called a “politicization of the military.”

“It wasn’t controversial for me to go to other countries and say, ‘You know what? It’s a good idea for militaries to be under civilian control,’ because when you have military that can direct force against their own people, that is inherently corrupting,” Obama said about his time in office in an interview on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast released Monday.

“That is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy,” Obama said.

How “we have understood democracy”. By “we”, Obama as usual means “Me”. Like “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”

Speaking of “directing force”, Obama had a man arrested for criticizing Islam. He repeatedly employed the DOJ to support BLM riots while undermining local governance. His abuses of federal forces became legendary.

Whom does Obama mean by “own people”? Illegal aliens and criminals. Enough said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

“That is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy.”

We have a constitutional representative republic with democratically elected representatives, Barry, not a "democracy as you have understood it."

Little Boy Barry seems to be poking the bear a bit, lately. Not sure what response he’s looking for, but I’m guessing he’ll get one he didn’t expect.
He’s going to FAFO.

“””We have a constitutional representative republic with democratically elected representatives, Barry, not a “democracy as you have understood it.” “”

Maybe he was thinking of his own country when he said that.

Isn’t this the guy who said: “Marine Corpse”? I wonder if he knows the difference between his rifle and his gun now?

“That is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy.”

Perhaps what these sages of the Left have understood “democracy” to be SHOULD be weakened and removed from the political scene in every venue on the face of the earth.

Mobocracy is no way to rule any nation or federation anywhere. It almost certainly becomes anarchy in very short order, and nothing remotely “democratic” remains.

...Barack Hussein Obama led the most radical effort to politicize the United States military.

BHO destroyed everything he touched (intentionally? Debatable....). His Cabinet was packed with sycophants and incompetents and Lloyd Austin was top of the class as Sec Def. I laugh now when people question Hegseth's qualifications for the job. He's doing fantastic... and that convocation last week of senior leadership was a direct warning to Obama appointees to shape up or they'll get shipped out... or resigned.

This foreign, communist POS was foisted onto America by the communist RAT terroist party. He’s nothing but a nasty, smelly shite stain on lady liberty’s underpants. They need to be washed...BIG TIME.
Odongo is the left’s holy messiah....he can say and/or do no wrong. Spit.
Just go away, Barry. Maybe go back to Man’s World and find another willing “sucker”.

I have been urging a counter purge since day 1. Take all the leftists you can find and fire them. Immediately. Yes, all.

No, I don’t care if its 100,000 personnel. We can replace them....and we have way too many senior officers anyway.
