The disgraced 44th president, Barack Hussein Obama apparently thinks two electoral thrashings aren’t enough. Not satisfied with losing the House in a landslide in 2010 (the Democrats only got it back when he was gone) and having his anointed candidate and Secretary of State Clinton go down in the flames when most thought she would win up until hours before the result, now the bench warmer and virtual Baath Party member wants to get in the ring once again with the GOP and Donald Trump.
By his words on the matter, it seems the current president relishes the fight. Here is President Trump in April on the state of the nation’s medical supplies he inherited from Obama, “But they also gave us empty cupboards. The cupboard was bare. You’ve heard the expression: ‘The cupboard was bare?’ So we took over a stockpile where the cupboard was bare and where the testing system was broken and old. And we redid it.”
On Friday, ignoring the medical supply issue and weakly trying to change the subject (PR tool 01 when you’re in trouble), Obama said this about the upcoming election, “This election that’s coming up on every level is so important because what we’re going to be battling is not just a particular individual or a political party. What we’re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided, and seeing others as an enemy — that has become a stronger impulse in American life.”
Selfish? You mean like selfishly sending tax dollars to terrorists the night before you left office? Tribal? Like never reaching out for consensus or negotiation with the opposition? Dividing and making the other party out to be an “enemy”? Gee, what else do these words from him mean?
“It’s part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anemic and spotty. It would have been bad even with the best of governments. It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset — of ‘what’s in it for me’ and ‘to heck with everybody else’ — when that mindset is operationalized in our government,” said Obama.
Anemic and weak? The biggest U.S. and world mobilization since the last world war, an effort praised by the Democrat governors of New York and California, is anemic and weak? Chaotic disaster? I guess that’s why infection rates and mortality rates are falling across the nation. “For me” and to “heck” with all others? You mean like the ethos of your administration, Barry? Oh, I stand corrected. It was your ethos unless it dealt with America’s enemies. Then you were quite generous.
“That’s why, I, by the way, am going to be spending as much time as necessary and campaigning as hard as I can for Joe Biden,” Obama said. Just like you spent time with Hillary’s 2016 campaign?
“That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk,” Obama closed.
The rule of law? This from the sponsor of Fast and Furious? This from a man who ran PC roughshod over the Constitution? And yes, this from a man who can’t stand being out of the limelight. Biden better be careful. His old boss’ baggage may be a burden that will sink the Democrat nominee in November.
