TUCSON, Ariz. — Former President Barack Obama on Friday contrasted former President Donald Trump’s character with that of the late Sen. John McCain during a packed rally at the University of Arizona.
Obama, who faced off against McCain in his successful bid for the White House in 2008, offered only kind words for his onetime political foe during his Friday remarks on behalf of the Harris-Walz campaign.
“Being here in Tucson, I’m thinking about my friend John McCain,” said Obama, speaking to several thousand Arizonans.
“I don’t want to overromanticize our relationship,” Obama continued, earning laughter from the crowd. “But you know what? He understood that some values transcend party. He believed in honest argument and hearing the views of other people. He didn’t demonize his political opponents.”

Both Bubba Clinton and Obama’s endorsements have meant little in the past. In some cases, they are the kiss of death. There are few blacks in Az and Latinos in Arizona could not care less about Obama. Totally different culture and set of interests than blacks who idolize him.
IMHO, it appears they both were paid off to take a dive so the boy Kenyan could be the first non-American President for the Evil DemonRATs.
Looks like 0bama used a Rent-a-Crowd and Bring-a-Cartel in Tucson.

GPS—5,891 mobile devices for Barack Obama’s speech at the University of Arizona Cole and Jeannie Davis Sports Center on Friday.
A U.S. Border Patrol Agent follower requested this GPS on Thursday and asked that we use our Sinaloa Cartel overlay.
Results?
411 mobile devices are likely associates of the cartel, while 147 are associated with trafficking NGOs, included No Más Muertes (No More Deaths).
Where were these attendees originally from?
608 devices were from Illinois, 515 were from Washington, DC, 127 were from New York, 1,108 were from Georgia, 84 were from Pennsylvania, 911 were from California.
65% of the remainder were from:
Phoenix, AZ

McCain only demonized Republicans.
He coveted his “moderate republican” MSM designation.
“He a good boy!” ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc.
Other republicans were, variously, “staunch” “ultra” far-right” “paleo” etc.
Democrats are always “progressives”.
Obama can KMA.
He is trying to stir animosity between the McCain Republicans and MEGA. Hopefully Trump doesn’t bite and the McCain Republicans vote in their Country’s interest. Even Megan McCain , while not actively supporting Trump, has been bashing Harris.
McCain?! The guy Obama said would bring racism and slavery back to the country?
McCain was the spy paid to for Obama.
IT WAS ALL A SHELL GAME. 2 pathways to globalist slavery. Trump exposed it.
McCain was the guy that spent his time overseas hanging out with major Terrorists.
Fascinating Info.
“about my friend John McCain”
To be called Obama’s friend means you have taken a wrong road in your life.
I remember John McCain.
Most people don’t.
Had to look that up…
Well, Barry, it’s not hard to believe that you were friends with the biggest backstabbing POS in the GOP that I can recall.
Nice of you to use him to demonize Donald Trump.
McCain was not from Tucson, and obama is not from Arizona at all!
Phooey!
Who is this Barack Obama person????
Wow. Over half from out-of-state. What’s with so many of those being from Georgia? Experienced operatives to help perfect the cheating?
Only a third (2,000 or so) were locals.
Well, of course 0bama loves him some John McCain.
McCain who rolled over like a puppy to let 0bama win election when McCain was supposed to be his opponent.
McCain who cast the deciding vote, with a great dramatic flourish to keep 0bama’s signature (unconstitutional) legislation and power grab when he had a chance to free us from the burden and expense of ‘0bamacare’.
OF course 0bama prefers McCain who quite often stabbed the constituents of the Republican party in the back.
Now, Barry, tell us how much you prefer Romney, Cheney, Kinzinger to Trump and the few actual conservatives and American patriots in the Republican party.
Good example of Loser vs Winner,
Teachable moment.
