Has Obama become a conservative?

President Obama sounded like a conservative Tuesday at the My Brother's Keeper Alliance Summitt in Oakland, Calif., when he addressed hundreds of young men of color alongside basketball superstar Steph Curry.

Obama talked to the young men about the virtues of monogamy. He shared his personal experiences growing up without a dad. He also offered a helpful, traditional, definition of manhood: “being responsible, working hard, being kind, respectful, compassionate.”

When identifying where messages that run contrary to his own come from, Obama decried hip-hop's negative influence.

“A lot of hip-hop and rap music is built around me showing how I got more money than you, I can disrespect you and you can’t do nothing about it, I’m going to talk about you and punk you,” Obama said. In addition, he criticized the objectification of women and sexual immorality promoted by hip-hop.

I grew up influenced by hip-hop in many of the negative ways that the former president described. But I learned to make excuses for myself because I embraced a certain moral relativism, telling myself that it was OK for me to hurt myself and others because of how unfair the world was to me.

He just figured this out..?????

Better late than never..

Jackass had his chance 10 years ago but sold out.

This little quizzing prick is on par with the LA news anchor who just ‘died’.

[dfwgator]

Taqqiya.

[WashingtonFire]

His entire Presidency will be remembered as one of failure and treachery.

It will also be compare to badly to his successor, President Trump, who is fast proving to be the greatest President The Republic has ever known

[Louis Foxwell]

Just part of the con. Dems see Trump’s growing popularity. They are trying to emulate him without giving him credit. Pfft!

[Track9]

Quisling prick

[TexasGurl24]

No.

[ksm1]

Please, making one or two comments that anyone with common sense could agree on doesn’t make you conservative.

[Carriage Hill]

In a word, NO.
No matter what that freakazoid writer writes, he’s a socialist/fascist/commie/racist/liar. Those stripes don’t fade.

[Jim W N]

I loathed and despised his presidency and hated his hatred of America.

But I believe he is born again Christian, although a very deceived one (there’s a lot of them running around).

But the Spirit of God works from the inside out and this hopefully is a glimmer of evidence of that.

[TheZMan]

That’s the sad part. His “fundamental transformation” could have been incredible, but ... nope.

Obama—conservative?

As Rodney Dangerfield would have said, “Compared to what?”

His slip has been showing too long so now he realizes he needs to save his reputation. The celebrities must have stepped back as well.

Who are they kidding. Hussein is a prissy pinko. Always will be.

He also offered a helpful, traditional, definition of manhood: “being responsible, working hard, being kind, respectful, compassionate.”

Traditional masculine values - strength, courage, self-reliance, leadership - are nowhere to be found in Obama's criteria. He's very much a liberal. The best that can be said of Obama - the most left-wing president this nation has ever had - is that progressives in 2019 are so extreme that they make him look moderate.

R U friggin' nutz?

Say what you want about Obama's policies otherwise and I have, but I'll give him this. When it comes to manning up and being a father to your children, he walks the walk.

Fire away.
