| Obama kiss of death? Ex-president set to campaign for Joe Biden |
| 2020-10-16 |
| [American Thinker] In another sign of Democrats acting as if maybe they aren't cruising to victory as polls claim, they're wheeling out former president Obama in a bid to put Biden over the top. According to the New York Post: Former President Barack Obama reportedly is poised to hit the campaign trail for Joe Biden, his former vice president, as the 2020 presidential race enters its crucial final stretch. "President Obama plans to hit the trail soon, in addition to all the other activities he's undertaken all year in support of electing VP Biden — as he's said, we all have to do everything we can to win on November 3," an aide to Obama told ABC News.That would be the same Obama who thus far has been absent from the campaign trail all these months, including even the past couple of weeks when Joe Biden has ventured out from his basement hideaway to zero crowds. Unlike Biden, Obama can draw a crowd, even if it's done with scrupulous social distancing, which is likely to be what they present for the fawning press cameras. The guilt here is pretty obvious, too — note how that aide in the quote above made sure he slipped in that clause about "in addition to all the other activities he's undertaken all year in support of electing VP Joe Biden" as if Obama had done anything more than an occasional Zoom meeting.

| #14 Champ will talk mostly about himself and pay marginal lip service to the Obama-Biden Legacy... Oh, yeah, completely. That's why it will have zero effect - it might even backfire a bit. Have at it, Champ! |

| #13 Champ will talk mostly about himself and pay marginal lip service to the Obama-Biden Legacy, but will he look energetic or smug and slightly loaded like the last time he did campaign promo with JoJo? |

| #10 Trotting out Soetoro didn't help Hillary four years ago and won't help Biden now. Younger black men in particular have zero attraction to this corrupt old muppet. Trump may actually get 25% or more of their vote. |

| #8 I wouldn't underestimate this. The Obamas are still immensely popular with black people I know. One of the great things about the Trump presidency is peeling black voters away from the Democrats who shamelessly used and abused them for decades. But if anyone can bring them back, it's Obama. |

| #4 Obama must think highly of himself. I think his legacy has gotten tarnished since he left office. |

| #3 What the Dems haven't realized is that it is about Charisma. Obama and Bill Clinton have it so their policy positions are ignored and people vote for the guy that makes them feel good. Hillary and Biden have no Charisma. Zero. So they have to sell their policy positions which most Americans find horrific. Trump on the other hand is Charisma and has policy positions most Americans agree with. The Dems have to lie and cheat and pull every trick just to not be laughed out of the election. |
