Obama Can't Get Past His Grudge Against Trump
2020-10-31
[AmGreatness] Barack Obama and Joe Biden head to Michigan this weekend to hustle votes in one of the three states that helped elect Donald Trump in 2016. Recent polls show Biden with a comfortable lead in Michigan, but Democrats are taking nothing for granted in the final stretch; Representative Debbie Dingel (D-Mich.) on Wednesday warned Team Biden that the race is tightening. "So many auto workers who I thought were going to go back to Joe Biden were very clear with me...that they were voting for President Trump."
Oh dear. How deplorable of them.
Enter the Anointed One. Obama already has been on the stump twice in Florida, attempting to bolster Biden’s flagging support among Hispanic voters, and once in Philadelphia. The former president was planning to stay out of the race, according to his longtime political consigliere David Axelrod, but Trump’s antics have forced Obama onto the campaign trail. "He doesn’t view it as a personal grudge match with Trump," Axelrod told CNN last week, defending yet another breach of precedent and protocol by the 44th president of the United States.

But of course Obama’s last-minute campaign activity is completely about his grudge against Donald Trump. As much as the news media loves to portray Trump as the one who is easily rattled, it is actually Trump who very easily gets under Obama’s skin. The former president is fixated on the man who succeeded him, the political foe Obama repeatedly said would never win the presidency. Few politicians are as thin-skinned, petulant, and vengeful as Barack Obama—just ask Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn—and it’s obvious that Donald Trump still gets the best of him.

#15  Obama did nearly everything with Executive Orders that were easily undone. Stupid way to build a legacy.

#14  Obama is and always was a lazy stoner, a narcissistic little man used by conniving Chicago scumbags as a way to satisfy their ambitions - either the ambition to hammer whitey (Biike), to grift and help Iran (Jarrett) or to simply fuck once more with the capitalist system (Ayers).

An empty suit. A puppet. Chauncey Gardiner in blackface.

#13  If he asked Joe if his name is on the sloppy son's laptop and Joe said, "No.", could he risk believing that answer?

#12  Obama always struck me as a small and petty man. The Dems did a good job of marketing him, but it didn't change his nature.

Women liked the way he looked in a suit and he could read from a teleprompter just as if he knew what he was talking about.

#11  Obama has his own set of benefactors.

#10  He just upset to find out that Biden didn't split the take with him.

#9  Perhaps Trump should break that precedent against investigating the former holder of the office.

#8  And then when you throw chumps against N'Obama such as Tokyo Rose McCain and Mittens, just about any Dem candidate would have won.

#5  Amazing that every time the economy does well during a Republican administration, the Dems come out and take credit for it. Clinton --> Bush and now Soetoro-->Trump. As Joey would say, "come on".

#4  Yes, yes, B.O. but could you please send me a copy of that photo you took with Richard Branson in the back of his yacht? I'd cherish it.

#3  Ref #2: He came by it honestly. Commies on both sides, then he married one.

#1  Trump, Obama said, inherited a solid economy but "just like everything else he inherited, he screwed it up."

This, from a guy whose stewardship of the US economy never broke 3% GDP growth, the worst since at least the Great Depression. What a chump.
