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.

Michael/Michelle Obama?
That will be fun and is a page out of DJT’s playbook. I hope you are right.
Son of a black man from Kenya-—
And nobody blinked an eye.
Obama will make one appearance. DJT will hit him hard on his crimes in the coup and O will slink back to his cave.
Yep, father a citizen of the same nation as King George himself. But he is a natural born citizen they say...….pfft.
Amazing how people have such trouble, understanding that the NBC clause was all about dual loyalties at birth.
“Over the years I have come to the conclusion that all states need an in-state electoral college.”
I could not agree more.
IIRC in the waning days of 2016 he popped up in Philly for Hilly along with Mooch and Beyonce and who knows who else. Didn’t work.
