In a recent interview with “No Lie” podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, former President Barack Obama claimed that conservatives do “the mean, angry, exclusive, us/them, divisive politics. That’s their home court. Our court is coming together.”
This is a jaw-dropping contention coming from a man who began his presidential aspirations accusing Americans who refused to embrace his brand of progressive politics of being “bitter” and clinging “to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.”
Is there any group of people in the country who exude more “antipathy to people who aren’t like them” than progressives?
Virtually every poll taken on the issue finds Democrats are far less inclined to accept Republicans as friends or family members. This comes as no surprise to anyone who’s witnessed the screeching moralistic anger of the average leftist activist — a disposition popularized during the Obama era.
Obama’s entire scandal-ridden supercilious presidency was focused on coercing, browbeating and, ultimately, slandering the bitter clingers. In the former president’s vernacular, “coming together” simply meant accepting Obama’s worldview as incontrovertible truth.
And one of the most grating habits in this regard was Obama’s turning every tragedy and political event into a sermon about our collective failings.
Obama, the only president to that point to belittle the notion of American exceptionalism, would go abroad and tell the world that the “future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
Slandering Christians in the United States, on the other hand, was no problem. The Obama administration spent years trying to destroy the Little Sisters of the Poor for their faith-based objections to paying for condoms. The Obama-era Democrats normalized the legal war on orthodox Christianity, meant to chill speech and compel progressive cultural supremacy, a cause that’s not abated to this day.
The inclusive Obama, who had hitched his career to Black Liberation theologians like the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and flirted with the Nation of Islam (a picture of a smiling Obama meeting with black supremacist Louis Farrakhan was hidden during his presidency), was the first president to engage in anti-Jewish dual loyalty tropes against Americans who opposed his obsession with rewarding Iran with nuclear weapons.
But perhaps worst of all, the first black president in history, Obama, did everything he could to roll back 40 years of progress on race relations.
There seemingly wasn’t a single “racial” incident anywhere in the country that Obama wouldn’t exacerbate and exploit for political purposes.
It began with his contention that “Cambridge police acted stupidly” after local police arrested historian Henry Louis Gates Jr., who was seen breaking into his own house, and continued with the killing of Trayvon Martin in an altercation with a neighborhood watch volunteer. Obama implored 350 million Americans, none of whom had anything to do with the case, to do “soul-searching.”
“If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon,” Obama said. “Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.” The implication, of course, was that young black men were being killed solely due to their color. Martin’s shooter, George Zimmerman, was found not guilty by a jury, and Obama’s Justice Department did not file civil rights charges.
Nothing, however, tops Obama’s detestable speech at the funeral of five Dallas police officers, murdered by a racist anti-cop extremist at Black Lives Matter protest in 2016. “None of us are entirely innocent” when it comes to “racial discrimination,” the president noted, “and this includes our police departments.”
Obama invoked the names of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, two black men who had been recently shot by police, not only creating a false equivalency but also basically rationalizing the anger of the shooter.
It’s worth remembering that neither of the investigations into Sterling and Castile had even been concluded at the time. In 2017, Obama’s Department of Justice didn’t charge the police in the killing of Sterling.
By 2016, Gallup found that 46% of Americans believed race relations had worsened during his presidency, compared with 29% who felt they improved. A 2016 New York Times poll found 69% of Americans described race relations as “generally bad.”
Obviously, Americans are divided because we have deep-seated, legitimate and meaningful disagreements about the future. That’s why politics exists. The political “unity” that Democrats claimed to strive for only exists in dictatorships. The inability to accept this made Obama the most divisive president of the modern age.
Which isn’t to say that subsequent presidents brought us together. Far, far from it. It’s to say that Obama changed the way presidents spoke about and to their constituents. It was Obama’s systematic subversion of norms that made Donald Trump possible.
We don’t need any more of his lectures.
Obama is a monster. He’s done more harm to America than any
other President in American history.
People forget that Obama put America in more debt in just eight
years than all other previous U.S. Presidents combined going back
to and including George Washington. For ourselves and our posterity
that is irreparable harm from which America will never fully recover.
Right out of the gate he pushed through Obamacare – government
run health care in which the government would have the power of
life and death over you in deciding care. Just what any Marxist/
Communist would want.
Obama’s loyalty and love for Islam rather than for America was
tantamount to treason. What American President would allow an
Islamic country which hates us to obtain a nuclear bomb and also
prop it up with pallets of cash? And allow four Americans including
a U.S. ambassador to be murdered by Muslim terrorists in Benghazi
when he could have saved them? Plus incrementally release from
Gitmo Muslim terrorists who went on to fight another day – not for
us but for Islam against us.
The most evil man in America – the one who sabotaged the incoming
President with a Russian collusion hoax and has gotten away with it –
Barrack Hussein Obama.
The one mistake in your comment is calling an illegal Born in Kenya
President. the crooks running the nation at the time put him in office with corrupted voting machines. He needs to be booted out of America before tax payors have to foot the bill to bury the crook.
So, a profoundly unexceptional POS lecturing normal Americans about decency and exceptionalism.
He couldn’t find decency and exceptionalism with two hands and a flashlight. In other words, the perfect demo-rat.
He was the most divisive President of my lifetime and I go back to Truman.
Here’s the video I saw last night.
Vial satanic hypocrisy of the evil DemoncRats:
If Satan had a son it would be just like Obama or maybe Obama is the son of Satan.
As I recall, it was Gates who “acted stupidly”. When the Cambridge police responded to an eyewitness report of a possible break-in, Gates and his housemate would not co-operate with standard procedure. The pair should have thanked their vigilant neighbor and the police for trying to protect the property. But of course, Gates and Obama see everything in terms of race.
I can’t even stand stories about this cocksucker, never mind seeing the pukes picture.
Decency, really? Coming for someone whose entire life is a big, fat fraud – including the election of a US president who was not even eligible as a candidate to the presidency – the man has no shame left!
“A lecture on Decency” from a bogus “president” whose mother was a strumpet and nobody knows for sure where he was born (except probably Ms. Fuddy, but she had an “accident”) or who his “daddy” was. What a strange world we live in.
In my view, Obama is less than a man and is not worthy of respect and certainly not worth listening to. I put him on permanent ignore 5 minutes into his presidency. I’ve never watched him speak as president (I can’t stand him) and only know about what he had and has to say by what I read via the internet. His voice is extremely grating and annoying to me and I can’t stand to look at him because what a sissy and closet trannie like him has to say is of no interest to me whatsoever.
Obama can go to hell for all I care. He is the one and only US president I intensely disliked.
From the first time I ever heard Obama speak until now, I loathe the humanoid!
