Obama to Democrats: ‘Sulking and moping is not an option’

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Democratic Party’s most prominent figures warned that abortion, Social Security and democracy itself are at risk as they labored to overcome fierce political headwinds — and an ill-timed misstep from President Joe Biden — over the final weekend of the 2022 midterm elections.

“Sulking and moping is not an option,” former President Barack Obama told several hundred voters on a blustery day in Pittsburgh.

“On Tuesday, let’s make sure our country doesn’t get set back 50 years,” Obama said. “The only way to save democracy is if we, together, fight for it.”

Obama acknowledged that voters are anxious after suffering through “some tough times” in recent years, citing the pandemic, rising crime and surging inflation.

“The Republicans like to talk about it, but what’s their answer, what’s their economic policy?” Obama asked. “They want to gut Social Security. They want to gut Medicare. They want to give rich folks and big corporations more tax cuts.”

Obama and Fetterman hugged on stage after the speeches were over.

sulkin’ and mopin’ reminds me of the dusty Springfield classic Wishin’ an’ Hopin’.

You won’t get him
Thinkin’ and a-prayin’, wishin’ and a-hopin’
‘Cause wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’
Plannin’ and dreamin’ his kisses will start
That won’t get you into his heart
So if you’re thinkin’ of how great true love is

Don’t you love his phony Southern Preacher dialect? Is there an Ivy League class for that?

Obama supposedly went to Columbia University in NYC from 1981 to 1983 after transferring from Occidental. This future POTUS, the world's greatest orator and the most charismatic human in our life time attended Columbia for 3 years studying political science. Yet, no other political science student attending Columbia University at the same time remembers ever meeting Obama.

So if there was a class for phony Southern Preacher dialect I would guess Obama was a no show or invisible for that course as well.

But stealing *is* an option. It was probably the only option in 2020.
