I fear he is much worse than you have even portrayed. He won people over with his calm and measured demeanour. We have one like him in the UK - Starmer. He’s nowhere near as polished as Obama; he’s grey, dull and monotone. Starmer doesn’t have the flair or the charisma, but what he does have is that he will promise the earth and deliver nothing, whilst quietly creaming the system for himself.

But I was really shocked when Obama instructed black men to vote for Harris. It was a cheap shot and I was struck by the racism. How dare he tell black men they no longer have a free vote. Worst thing he could have done. No one should be voted into office because of the colour of their skin. And black men know that!! He misjudged them.

This is why i bear my fangs during the general election for president when ppl feel VERY comfortable telling you WHO to vote for.

But overall I agree with your analysis of Obama. His credibility dropped in the toilet after he lectured Black men.

These were the same jagoffs who brigade us Berniecrats with accusations of racism because black people want Hillary so not voting for Hillary is racist. We asked "what about the 30% of black people supporting Bernie, do they not count?" Answer: no, they do not. Also "so what you are saying us that if you are white you do not have any right to vote as a free citizen according to your position, you have to survey the black community and just vote their way no matter what, no qiestions asked, or you are in the KKK?" Answer: yes, you do.

Years ago I attended a women's meeting sponsored by NOW. I thought it was about helping women gain skills for the workplace. It turned out it was all about trashing men. I left as I didn't want any part of an organization that was all about blaming and no self directed improvement. When it was reported that Obama attended a Church where the minister bashed the white system, that was a clincher for me. It may seem like a small irrelevant act but as the saying goes how you do the smallest thing often reveals how you will do bigger things. That a man who was raised by his white grandparents would listen to such rhetoric repeatedly was so disrespectful My child is mixed race and it is very painful when he spouts 'white privilege' especially as a 100 years ago his ancestors were in dire poverty.

Thank you for referencing Obama's politicization of the death of Michael Brown. That too was so grotesque. I know that area. It has many tiny townships with tiny police departments with small budgets. That a small statured police officer would approach Brown by himself was something a well trained officer would have avoided. Twenty years before Brown's death, approximately two miles away, there was the murder of a young 15 girl. A social worker with a social justice vendetta, entered a 15 year old boy into a high school knowing he had a history of violence. I've been told this included a hatred of white girls, but I don't for sure. His first day, he murdered the young girl in the bathroom. I've been told that the teacher who found the girl still suffers from PTSD. The girl wasn't readily identifiable due to the injuries. It was that gruesome. https://majorcasesquadstl.org/investigations/1995/report-249

For some time, I've reflected on how Christianity elevated the status of women, not diminished it as feminists proclaim. Listening to your discussion of 'a father' as in one father with respect to Obama, I thought of possibly why there was push to get rid of men in the family. In Christianity, we refer to God as our father. Get rid of a father in the home and you get rid of Christianity. Obama's push that boys need more than a father sounds like paganism, where you have many gods. I am sure this reads crazy, but once you read the definition of the Enlightenment and its push to rid society of religion, it may not be as crazy as it seems.

Like you, I voted for Obama in '08. I believed that he would be good for the nation. He wasn't. And his impact is looking worse and worse every day. Like you say, he is now a rich snob who spends his time a) living in wealth and comfort, b) hobnobbing with other rich, powerful people, and c) lecturing the plebes on the right way to think.

And it's pretty screwed up to diminish the role of good fathers and say that we need a gay man instead. So screwed up.

Like you, I try to put little faith into politicians. Some are better than others, and some do things that make the nation work better. But none of them deserve my devotion, and I won't give it to them.

Your commentary is spot on. There was no way in hell I would have voted for Obama because his background raised too many questions. Among those questions, how did a child who was abandoned by his parents and raised by his grandparents manage to take a trip around the world and attend an expensive university? Additionally, I always found his rhetoric too scripted. He was great at reading a teleprompter, but fell apart when having to speak extemporaneously.

Recently, there have been numerous claims that he had numerous homosexual relationships. Quoting Jerry Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything wrong with that". The relationships aren't the issue, how they influenced his position on core family values is the problem.

After he was elected, I hoped that he would be a unifier. Who better to bridge a racial divide that a president who had one black parent and one white parent. Instead, Obama played into the victimhood mentality. His only priority was appealing to the liberal voter base that got him elected. In spite of being elected to the highest office in the country, Obama sees himself as a victim. He may have all the trappings of wealth and power, but I believe he sees those as payment for him being a victim.

Another revealing factor is his statement that he was going to "fundamentally change" our country. How do you fundamentally change a constitutional republic? By turning it into a socialist state. Ultimately, Obama is just another political hack who masked an agenda to institute policies that the majority of Americans are against.

Couldn't agree 👏 more! He's always been the smooth, sophisticated con-man. New boss, same as the old boss.

Obama is so obsessed with his precious legacy. It’s all he cares about. He set back race relations by decades. Hope and change? Not at all. And now look at him, broken and trying everything he can to remain relevant. Sure, Biden is responsible for the mess we’ve been in since 2021, but never forget that Obama chose Biden as VP and if not for him, Biden would never have been President.

America deserves a refund on everything Obama has been peddling for all these years, starting with the idea that smooth talker like him is better than someone with integrity like Ben Carson.

As a very slow learner, I voted for him twice. Mostly because I was not paying much attention. (He was good looking and he sounded intelligent and compassionate - seemed good enough to my smooth brain). Now I cannot stand him either and I am ashamed of voting for him.

Absolutely right I have been saying that for years and got odd looks for saying it.

You're not alone. Communist Frank Marshall Davis raised the fool, we knew who the idiot was in 2007.

I voted for the idiot, foolish, criminal Dubya twice.

In his book, Fault Lines, Voddie Bachum said that in 2008 he knew that Obama is a Marxist. He hid his ideology behind his hope and change rhetoric and smooth delivery. I did not pick that up. He was bad for this country.

When Obama was president, here's how he treated Mother's Day and Father's Day:

Mother's Day: Oh, you women are so wonderful! We men are not worthy! You do everything so well and BACKWARDS and IN HEELS (riffing on the line about Ginger Rodgers and Fred Astaire).

Father's Day: wow, guys, you really need to get it together and step it up. Geez.

And to be sure, it's not just Obama. The entire Democratic Party sings these songs. Daily.

Not to mention Obama is corrupt to the bone. See e.g., the recent declassification of the December 2016 manufactured Intelligence Community Assessment devised to undermine the incoming Trump administration. This was all at the behest of Obama's request on 12/9/16.

Everyone was high on Hopeium and Changeium. Obama turned out to be another corporate shill. He took office after Bush put us into a recession and then Obama just decided that the banks were too big to fail. A slap on the wrist with a "don't do that again" is all that the banks got.....lots of regular people lost their homes and jobs and still suffer those losses today. How were we to know that he was just another "slick Willy"?

He was always this person. He just very carefully crafted his messages.

Barack was mentored by Franklin Marshall Davis, who was openly bisexual. Barack's pothead grandfather would take him to Frank's house to 'hang out' and left him there.

He's telling you about his life. I always hated him. Why? His Philadelphia speech was such a con for a guy who was actually a 'Critical Legal Theorist'. It was such a beautiful speech, if it had been real our nation would not be riven by race as it is today.

Great vid.
