There are two significant things about this article.
Obama on the campaign trail has one particularly tough crowd: Young black men – NBC News
The phenomenon where black men are shrugging off Obama.
If there’s a prototypical Kamala Harris voter it might seem to be Charles Johnson, a 23-year-old black college student.
Johnson is informed and politically engaged; he went to hear former President Barack Obama speak Friday at a Democratic campaign rally on the University of Arizona campus.
Yet he isn’t all that impressed with Obama, the nation’s first black president, nor Harris, who would be the second. He says he’s leaning toward voting for Donald Trump.
“The media says he [Trump] is horrible and he’s racist and he’s going to bring us back, but he’s only gaining support with black voters,” Johnson said in an interview. “He’s only gaining support with black men.”
Miles Covington, 35, a black student at the University of Arizona, said he hasn’t yet decided how he’ll vote. He came to hear Obama speak and as he stood in line for the event on campus, he said he didn’t see Obama as a figure who would be especially influential with young black men.
“He is resonating with a different culture,” Covington said. “They’re going to need a young guy to come and stand up who is black. He’s not the young guy.”
Some of this is blowback to Obama’s dumb comments suggesting black men were sexist for not being enthusiastic about Kamala.
But the other significant thing here is that the media is acknowledging that Obama is over.
Obama took the campaign trail and most people just shrugged. The media’s shrugging too. It’s publishing criticism of Barry. And anyone over 30 can remember a time when that was completely unthinkable. Obama could not be parodied, mocked or questioned in any way. The very idea that he was less than a national savior was blasphemy.
As I’ve been saying for a while, he has faded. The old messiah served his purpose. No one has been fainting at his rallies in a long time. And even the media has been falling out of love.
To give Obama credit, he’s been somewhat aware of this, and his response was to treat his public presence like a kryptonite superweapon. His people make a big deal of him hanging back until his emerges at the last minute as a dealbreaker.
Well he did it. He emerged. And the deal is far from done. Obama is over.

And Side Chick Harris isn’t actually Black beyond a small statistical probability of having some African blood. She can claim any ancestry she wants, I suppose, but truth being discovered and revealed in recent months shows such an ancestral claim to be weak. Also, neither of her parents were citizens when she was born, rendering her ineligible to become President. The Constitution lays the requirements for citizenship to Congress, who have misread the 14th Amendment and created the “birthright citizenship” mess. The Constitution however lists requirements for becoming President, which includes “must be a natural-born citizen”. This is broadly believed to mean ‘born of 2 US citizens, either themselves natural born or naturalized’.
This need to be finally adjudicated by the Supreme Court. Had it been done decades ago we would have never had to endure the horrid, destructive Obama years as his father (as he claims) was from Kenya and never obtained US citizenship.

Sorry, Daniel Greenfield , but everything Obama said was absolutely true ! And nothing he said was in any way “dumb “. “Obama could not be parodied, questioned or mocked in any way ?” Are you for for real, Greenfield? From the very beginning to this day , Obama has been the victim of the most vicious smear campaign in US political history , although the ones against Hillary Clinton, Biden, Kamala Harris and other Democrats have come pretty close ) . .
To this day, many idiots in America still believe that Obama was born in Kenya, is both a Muslim” and a communist “, and all that asinine garbage . More recently he has been accused of being gay although there is absolutely no evidence of this . . And even if he is gay or bisexual, who cares ? Big deal . So what ?
America’s BEST presidents and he did an enormous amount of good for this country even if he wasn’t perfect ., And ironically , it was Donald Trump who could not be parodied , questioned and mocked in any way according the worshiping conservative media, even though he was actually by far the worst, most corrupt, incompetent , divisive and destructive president in US history .. And he deserved all of the mockery and contempt he received and still does richly !
Jeff Bargholz says
Are you for real Turd Bergler?
Everything Brokeback Hasbeen Obama said was a ridiculous lie, as usual.
From the very beginning to this day, that pampered, privileged, preening, posturing, prissy traitor has been the beneficiary of the most sycophantic campaign of praise in US political history, and the ones for Harpy Hillary, Alzheimer Joe Beijing Biden, Khlamydia Honkey Harris and other D-Bags have come nowhere near as close in butt kissing obsequiousness.
To this day, many people in America still believe that Obama was born in Kenya because he wrote in his fake hagiography that he was, and Because Harpy Hillary started the “birther” smear during the 2008 election. ALL D-Bag scum believed him up until he changed his story, and now you idiots believe his direct contradiction.
Many people know who the anti-American girly man who changed his name from “Barry Soetoro” – which included his given name and his real father’s Indonesian surname – to the Islamic pig-dog name of “Barack Hussein Obama” really is past his empty suit and fake image.
Rational and honest people know he loves Marxism because he praises its warped tenets regularly, and that he’s an islamopithecine because he said so on live TV to George Stepheculous, and during his reign as Caliph he did everything to strengthen Islam worldwide at the expense of America and the world. You know. Those facts inconvenient to anti-American scum like you.
Bareback has been known to be a gay Twink since his Bathhouse Barry Days and his sleepover trysts with Reggie Love when he was Caliph. And even though we all know he’s as gay as Peter Eater Buttgig, who cares ? Only him, because the closet case coward won’t admit it.
You woketards love to project your vices onto your enemies (ordinary and normal Americans) and try to appropriate our virtues, don’t you, Bizarro?
Jeff Bargholz says
Brokeback Hasbeen Obama was America’s second WORST president after Alzheimer Joe Beijing Biden, and only because Dementia Joe has been the puppet of his handlers from day one. Brokeback did an enormous amount of damage to this country even though the saboteur was only Caliph for eight years.
And ironically , it was only President Donald Trump who was falsely parodied, questioned, mocked, smeared, slandered, libeled, calumnized, lied about and subjected to endless conspiracy hoaxes in every way by the Dirtbagocrats and their propaganda Ministry, the fake news media, He was actually by far the best, most honest, competent, unifying and productive President in US history since President Washington. President Lincoln preserved the Union but he didn’t do nearly as much for Americans, particularly everyday Americans, as President Trump did. And he richly deserved all of the praise and admiration he received and still does!
You obviously have a diseased mind, Robert Turdbergler. I suggest you return to wherever you come from: Bizarro World, an insane asylum, the Department of Woke Studies in some university, the DNC or the D-Bag fake news media. And take your thorazine and tongue depressor with you

I have been praying for the beginning of the end of the confluence of the Clinton/Obama grift and it looks like it’s finally coming true. These political fossils play to an aging Democrat constituency but the Democrats still think they can trot them out every 2-4 years. Many people are too young to remember or care who these two crooks and their harridan wives are. Their time is over thank God. And the field they are leaving is very thin.
Harris Walz? Really?
Obama truly messed up with his lecture to black men….the equivalent of Biden’s warning that if “you can’t figure out who to vote for you ain’t black” in 2020. And of course Clinton just looked terrible, like he has AIDS or something. And Hillary seems more irrelevant than ever.
Need more proof? In today’s Townhall.com Allen West has penned an article titled The Fall Of Barack Obama. The end of the endless Race/DEI/CRT culture narrative is at hand. The progressives are being kicked to the curb. The Globalists are being exposed. Democrats may have to run on real issues. Enjoy.

Heels Up Harris, her hubby, Doug Jackhoff and Tiananmen Timbecile Awolz are all the same age as me but look much older. I suppose evil ages people from the inside out.
Algorithmic Analyst says
I was just thinking about that, people that don’t age well.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, it’s hard to avoid being smug sometimes, isn’t it? Especially guys like us who look like movie stars. 🙂 I suppose smugness could be considered a form of pride but better that than the sin of envy, which plenty of people who don’t age well have.
It couldn’t have happened to a “nicer” terrible trio of wicked whiteys than Khlamydia, Jackhoff and Timbecile.
Atarah Charis says
That is such a relief!

Obama is over? Herpes is never over.
Obama will never go away.
The dude is like HERPES, he disappears for a while only to erupt again.

“The dude is like HERPES, he disappears for a while only to erupt again”
Exactly like yourself endlessly erupting in randoid drivel and barking at Christianity.
Intrepid says
Well, why not. You are pro-abortion and a strident atheist. The classic combo. Obama sounds like your kind of guy.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, and the haggard Brokeback Hasbeen Obama looks like he has AIDS now, so maybe he’s actually a walking and droning case of human butt herpes?
Greg says
On October 15, 2024, The Kenyan and Big Mike appeared on stage at a live music performance by Stevie Wonder at Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena. Reportedly, they encouraged the sell-out crowd to vote. The matter was downplayed in the local media, perhaps for security reasons. While Stevie Wonder remains popular in the black community, The Kenyan’s proverbial “15 minutes of fame” is apparently over. It looks like “the one who was to come” has, in fact, become just another half-white communist sodomite.
Perry Bonney says
Fewer and fewer people are “getting a thrill up their leg” whenever they hear Obama speak.
Good.
Jeff Bargholz says
I think my leg went to sleep when he lectured young black men for not being feminist girly men simps. “If you don’t vote for Chlamydia Harris, then you ain’t black!”
Jeff Bargholz says
That’s him, alright. Bareback HASBEEN Obama. Not even being fake blacks can make Honkey Harris or him popular or influential.
Most votes are for Trump. The other votes are for a D-Bag, and a huge amount of those votes are fake and illegal. That’s it. Nobody has been voting for Whore Harris, especially not because of Obsolete Obama’s ineffectual endorsement.
Steve Kardas says
Obama is one strange person and I personally believe he is devoid of any empathy for other human beings. You know……a commie.
internalexile says
I think you are right. One of the most wonderful aspects of the first Trump presidency was not having to listen to Obama’s unending guilt-tripping, telling us all almost daily how terrible we all were. God, what a relief that was.
