Obama: ‘I Frankly Watch Sports Mostly’; People ‘Feel Turned Off by the Political Discourse’

Who is this guy kidding. Obama's whole world is politics.
He's taken political discourse to new levels by fomenting hate through race baiting and identity politics. He tries to set this image that he's above the fray. What a joke.

That's exactly what they want. Have Joe do all the dirty work and then parachute in Big Mike.

Don't fall for it. Obama is worse than Biden. Obama controls Bidens actions.

My thoughts exactly. Why doesn’t Obama tell them black lesbians to leave the white girl alone?

Obama is worse than Biden. Obama controls Bidens actions.

Between 2008 and 2016, it was an article of faith around here that Obama was an empty suit being controlled by that which we now call the "Deep State".

We were right back then. Biden's strings are being pulled by the same creatures that were pulling Obama's strings.

BS. He is 24x7 involved in the Biden administration and the stealing of elections. He stole his election from Hillary.
