The former president told David Axelrod that America is more divided than ever, but that it doesn’t have to be that way.
CHICAGO—Barack Obama refused to answer directly when asked whether he could beat Donald Trump in a head-to-head race, but he said on Tuesday that he believes his vision of America is already more in touch with most Americans, and will win out in the end.
However, the man who burst onto the national political scene with his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech declaring that there’s no red or blue America agreed with his old political consultant David Axelrod that America is redder and bluer than ever.
But it doesn’t have to be this way, Obama said in a live interview for Axelrod’s Axe Files podcast, recorded at the University of Chicago. It’s just that he and President Trump “have contrasting visions of what America is, and that’s self-apparent.”

Barry is right. Satan is the prince of this world, and Barry is a right-hand man for him.
But we must continue to fight, regardless.
Says the person who greatly helped to destroy the Democrat brand at all sorts of levels (House, Senate, gubernatorial, and elsewhere) during his years in the White House.
Didn’t read the article, but two comments based on title:
Hell NO Trump doesn’t share your “vision” and Thank God he doesn’t.
“Obama says Trump ‘obviously’ doesn’t share his vision of America.”
Correct.
Because he’s not an elitist, Progressive, power-loving, manipulative individual who doesn’t like the Constitution.
IMHO
He needs a padded room.”””
He needs a permanent cell at Gitmo.
The President has 'shared' his views of sh*thole countries like Kenya already. Barrys vision of Kenya in America has faded.
Michelle Obama has a book. “Becoming”
And America is deeply grateful to God that Trump does not share your values (or lack thereof).
The founders tried to prevent the disaster of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
They insisted on someone who was NATURALLY a citizen, who only had ONE nationality, who could not be anything else, by putting the natural born citizen requirement in the Constitution.
BOTH parties cooperated to violate the Constitution.
Barry hates it because it says he can’t be President.
Wish ONE of our elected or appointed had the guts to stand up for it.
So if we only all agreed with you . Right Barry?
A Socialist state run by Democrats... Sorry Barry. I think Trump and a majority of America disagrees with your vision.
I agree. Truth be known, he probably meets the definition of "enemy combatant".
Wow. Obama is really, really smart to come to that conclusion.
Thank goodness.
Only those in the Liberal enclaves. The rest of America not so much. But Barry wouldn’t know that since he lives in a bubble.
Thank Goodness
We had 8 years to see “your vision”. Your utopia is to convert the US into another 3rd world Marxist failed state.
If Americans want “your vision” 0, they can move to Venezuela or Cuba and have it
How could explain President Trump. Did he conclude it wasn’t worth doing what he could?
“As divided as we appear right now,” Obama said, “the truth of the matter is that the majority of Americans think that people should be judged on the basis of their character, not their color or their gender. The majority of Americans believe that we are better off where our daughters have the same chances as our sons to succeed and do well, and where we should consistently do our best to make sure every child has equal opportunity in this society.”
Yes, Barry, the majority of us do believe those things, but it’s crystal clear that you do not. You support affirmative action, which means judging people based on race, gender, nationality, etc., not character, you believe that our daughters should be believed, but our sons should not, and you believe in equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity.
