On April 20, just days before the first round of the French election, former president Obama caused a diplomatic stir when Reuters reported that he had spoken on the phone with French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron – the market-friendly candidate preferred by Europe’s establishment. Quick to avoid the perception of yet another foreign interference (who can forget Obama’s strong condemnation of the Brexit campaign last summer), in a statement from Kevin Lewis, spokesperson to President Barack Obama, he said that “an endorsement was not the purpose of the call, as President Obama is not making any formal endorsement in advance of the run-off election on Sunday.”
Meanwhile, Macron said Obama simply wanted to exchange views about the French presidential campaign and that the ex-president had stressed how important the relationship between the two countries was. Macron’s party “En Marche!” said in a statement that “Emmanuel Macron warmly thanked Barack Obama for his friendly call.”
Two weeks later, Obama no longer had any qualms about the optics of interfering in the French election, and moments ago, in a video clip released on Emanual Macron’s official twitter feed, Obama officially endorsed the former Rothschild banker Emmanuel Macron.
“I’m not planning to get involved in many elections now that I don’t have to run for office, but the French election is very important to the future of France and the values that we care so much about, because the success of France matters to the entire world”, Obama said in the clip.
“He appeals to people’s hopes and not their fears,” he said. “And he is committed to a better future for the French people. He has stood up for liberal values. He put forward a vision for the important role that France plays in Europe and around the world.”

Do you remember how well Obama’s criticism of Brexit worked out? He may have clinched it for Le Pen.
As I’ve said many times before, everything the man’s touched turned to shit. Let’s not forget he endorsed Hillary too.
This evil little man will be everywhere causing mayhem until he dies. He will carry the torch of Soros once Soros finally kicks the bucket. His OFA groups will control billions of dollars all over the world and his terrorist shock troops (BLM, Antifa, La Raza, Mecha) will burn cities to the ground. Obama just got warmed up and a true lust for power the past 8 years. He will not allow himself to be ignored and marginalized.
Obama the Edsel of the human race.
Bet Maccron just excreted a brick...
We’ll see. The French are different than the Brits and no one could have helped Hillary. I think Le Pen will lose. But I could be wrong. (and not because of Zero, but just because)
Kiss. Of. Death. Remember when he warned them away from Brexit? Ha ha!
Vive le Pen!
Can Islam hold its rage in long enough not to make Le Pen look a lot better?
It’s a challenge! It’s a challenge!
I’m not sure who has the bigger Muslim problem, Britain or France. Lots of folks are spooked. The polls here gave Hillary the win. As you said, we’ll see.
She’s a mixed bag for France. Being a nationalist and knowing her party, they seem to want to give almost as cold a shoulder to Jews as to jihadists. But that’s a big, big mistake. I’m sure Israel will be oy-veying if Le Pen does make it.
Wow, I can EASILY imagine 3 people in France that will be swayed to vote with Barak. Let;s see how much CLOUT he carries now internationally after the vote count on Sunday. Bring it on.
Does the winner need to get a majority or only a plurality?
May Macaroon inspire a whole lot of French ennui.
Being anti-Jewish is bad, but being pro-jihadist is absolutely suicidal. France is between a rock and a hard place.
And knowing the menace of jihadism, I posit that it would make more sense for French and other Jews to open up a dialogue with French nationalists, to remind them that almost all Jews of France are not only loyal to France but also bring blessings to France, and that Jews and French nationalists should unite against the jihadists, a common agent of declared, open enmity to France and all humanity.
Who has the strangest marriage? Macron, who married his 25-years-older high school teacher; or Obama the homosexual, who married a large ugly woman for political cover?
With Britain it isn’t just muslims. There are loads of Eastern Europeans that were coming to Britain and working solely to get covered by the UK’s Social Benefits. That was a major drain on Britain. People I work with know people that have done it. Coupled with the Muslim problems, it was an even bigger factor in Brexit.
More US election rigging by this clown.
Where does Jerry Lewis stand on this one?
That’s all you need to know. Macron is a French version of bammy.
Ha ha - well congratulations Madame President Le Pen.
obama’s endorsement was more of captivation ... with Macron’s pronounced lisp as much as with his socialist ideology.
