Obama to unveil 'pointed' midterm message
CNN ^ | Sept. 6, 2018 | Dan Merica

Posted on 09/06/2018 11:51:10 AM PDT by Innovative

President Barack Obama, to the chagrin of some Democrats, has spent much of 2018 on the sidelines to what top party operatives believe is a generational fight against President Donald Trump.

That ends Friday, Obama advisers tell CNN, when the former president unveils his midterm message in a speech that will be a more pointed rebuke of Trump's first years in office.

The speech at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign comes ahead of Obama's first campaign events of the midterms: A rally for a handful of Democratic congressional candidates in California on Saturday and an event for Richard Cordray, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Ohio, on September 13.

The real question is: Does anyone care, outside of a few die-hard Democrats.

People who elected President Trump need to make sure he is supported in Congress to enable him to MAGA, as he intends to do.

The rule used to be that once you stepped down from being president you withdrew from politics, in order to give your successor a chance to do the job. Now the little turds like Obama just snipe from the sidelines.

The 65,446,032 voters who voted for him, might.

The speech at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign

I'd LMAO if the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign suddenly lost all its Federal funding.

Let me guess...he will spew all the talking points of cnn and msnbc. Of course he will lie. I wonder if he will have that irritating whistle he has when he speaks. Or that uh...uh...uh.

From the story: “Obama used the remarks to warn against the rise of “strongman politics” and the “utter loss of shame among political leaders” who lie”.

What a revolting, putrid creature Obama is.

If you would bother to read the story, this is the gist of it:

From the story: “Obama used the remarks to warn against the rise of “strongman politics” and the “utter loss of shame among political leaders” who lie”.

Yeah, trot this teleprompter reading mediocre out to claim credit for the great economy for which he deserves less than no credit at all.

Cracks me up. This message will be the result of probably a round table of advisors and writers spending hours on it, and it won’t come close to what Trump would spit out spontaneously off the cuff in front of an audience without a teleprompter.

Pure mediocrity.

Obama opening his mouth has about as much bearing on Politics, as Kaepernick opening his mouth has to do with football.

Sure the MSM will faun over it, and the die hard democrats will moisten their panties...

And the men in the room will just carry on living their life....

Wouldn’t it be fun if somebody pulled a Palin on him and disabled his teleprompter one minute into his speech.

Many of them are now part of the #Walkaway movement and HATE him and they're BLACKS and other minorities!

So he won't be anything "special" this time around.
