Barack Obama Scolds Americans for Offering ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ During Maui Tragedy
msn ^ | 08/16/2023 | Brian Gottstein

After the horrific wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui last week that took the lives of at least 99 and left more than 1,000 unaccounted for, many Americans are donating money to help the victims. Many more are offering their thoughts and prayers, including former President Barack Obama, who grew up in Hawaii but infamously said after a mass shooting in 2015: “Thoughts and prayers are not enough.”

At the time, Obama condemned the phrase, saying, “Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. It’s not enough. It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel, and it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in America, next week or a couple months from now.”

RE: ....who grew up in Hawaii....

Then why does he remember the childhood Kenyan games:
Nyama-Nyama-Nyama, Ampe and Agatambaro k’Umwana?🌍

And Hawaiians say “Huh?” when he recalls them from his early years.

(Above is a satire)

There are hundreds of GoFundMe sites asking for help to rebuild in Lahaina. Some have garnered over $1,000,000. The average is probably $25,000 of the 1000 that I scrolled through. That’s millions of dollars out of people’s pockets, but of course 0ba⋔a wants more.

He's got lots of money.

How about he shell some out for relief work?

Barack Obama is essentially running this country vicariously through Joe Biden (who knows nothing) and is STILL implementing his agenda of getting the poor to revolt against the rich (conservatives) so he and his minions can establish THEIR totalitarian rule here.

So I guess your VP’s $700 per household (while sending billions to the Ukraine) *is* enough, eh Barky.

Sod OFF Swampy, as the old saying goes.

Who the heck CARES WHAT THIS CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON SAYS.

HE IS THE ...LAST...PERSON ANYONE SHOULD QUOTE.

HE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A TROUBLE MAKING AGGITATOR, NOTHING LESS. HE IS SOMETHING WE WERE FORCED TO ACCEPT BECAUSE HE WOULD BE “OUR FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT.”

WHAT A DISASTER THAT WAS. WE ARE STILL SUFFERING FORM THE BIG MISTAKE.

Things in Hawaii have been both dirty and treasonous since the 1940s. Frank Marshal Davis, Harry Bridges, Rorhbaugh (bad spelling of name), Abercrombie, Ewart Guinier who became the first chairman of Harvard’s Black Studies Department and his wife, Sen. or Rep. Shatz, Sen. nutcase Hironi, etc.
