Philadelphia: The Perfect Spot for Obama to Resurface
American Thinker.com ^ | October 19, 2020 | Jack Cashill

It makes altogether perfect sense for Barack Obama to make his first in-person campaign stop for Joe Biden in Philadelphia, PA. On at least three occasions, Philadelphia helped save Obama’s own political bacon.

The first time came in March 2008 after the racist, anti-American speeches of Obama’s wild-eyed pastor, Jeremiah Wright, first surfaced. To neutralize the fallout Obama chose Philadelphia as the site for a speech, immodestly titled “A More Perfect Union.”

Obama began the speech by reminding those few registered voters who might somehow have forgotten, “I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas.” This bogus story of his own upbringing seared into Obama’s “genetic makeup” the idea that “this nation is more than the sum of its parts -- that out of many, we are truly one.” The bottom line, said Obama: “I can no more disown Wright than I can disown the black community.”

The speech wowed Obama’s white liberal supporters and silenced his critics. The Philadelphia Inquirer summed up the speech in a one-word headline, “Brilliant.” The New York Times’ Janny Scott called it “hopeful, patriotic, quintessentially American.” MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, his legs a-tingle, celebrated it as “worthy of Lincoln” and “the best speech on race ever given in this country.” That was Obama’s gift in 2008: to make a thoroughly dishonest, ghostwritten speech defending a crazed racist pastor seem patriotic, even Lincolnesque.

Obama’s promise to not disown his pastor lasted just forty days and forty nights. Unfortunately for Obama, Wright kept saying what he always had been saying. After a speech at the National Press Club in late April 2008, a reporter asked Wright whether he truly believed that the government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color.

Philly, of course. I believe he won upwards of 114% of some of the districts there.

114%, AND NO ONE BLINKED AN EYE.....

Hmmmmn. So Obama (the Great, Long may his wife reign as Most Perfect of All) must now campaign for Biden in Philadelphia.

What, is New York City next? Afraid they don’t have a lock on Philly, Pittsburgh, Newark, ....

Might as well. Biden has now cancelled his campaign for the next four days, after appearing public in front of crowds as as 0, 10,12, 15, 20 people in Oct.

“I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kenyans from Indonesia are NOT natural born citizens of the United States of America.

He even admitted on his website he was born a British subject and a Kenyan national at birth.

Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they could not be anything else.

There is trouble in getting the vote out in Philadelphia. This is a desperation trip and being done only because Obama’s legacy is on the line and to keep his ass out of prison. Obama is knee deep in the coup, and just wait until they get to his personal finances. He needs Biden to be elected.

They have to take PA back, there is no path to 270 for Biden without PA.

Obama is safe, he has lots of Republicans protecting him.
Almost everyone in the District of Corruption was complicit in violating the Constitution by swearing him in.

Biden’s campaign manager says they are not ahead by double digits.
The public polls are propaganda.

Watch for DJT to match Obama’s appearances, and attract many times the number of people he does.

I live in the Philadelphia media market. I have heard stories that on election day,the Democrats will send buses around the streets and anyone walking down the sidewalk will be ‘escorted’ onto the bus and then hauled to the local polling place (they have no choice). Vote totals exceeding 100% of registered voters in also common.

Philadelphia is safe for Obama in Pennsylvania. I doubt he has the same popularity across the state. The Dims are always trying to make Philly and Pittsburgh carry Pennsylvania for them.

It's obvious to anyone who is not an ignorant starfish named Patrick who lives under a rock in Bikini Bottom on SpongeBob Squarepants, that Obama does not want to campaign for Joe Biden.

Obama did not endorse Biden for president until well into the campaign and he has waited until the last moment to reluctantly campaign for Biden.

I suspect that Obama knows Biden is going to lose and he doesn't want to be associated with a Biden albatross around his neck when Trump wins reelection.

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that all states need an in-state electoral college.
