Obama s Ugly Closing Argument – WSJ

Worried that the presidential race may be slipping away from them, Democrats now express contempt for the people whose votes they need to win in November. Especially annoying to the party s leadership is that they have to try to persuade Pennsylvanians. On Tuesday vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D., Minn.) lamented to wealthy California donors that their party has to win votes in Western Pennsylvania s Beaver County, and also persuade people in York, in the eastern half of the Keystone State. To diminish the power of such voters, Mr. Walz wants to get rid of the Constitution s Electoral College. Now former President Barack Obama has arrived in Pittsburgh to scold some of the locals for not supporting current Vice President Kamala Harris.

Mr. Obama is now employing the rhetorical tactics he once used against congressional Republicans to attempt to shame voters into obeying his political instruction. Mr. Obama s oratory has always been much more refined than that of either of his presidential successors but at least as nasty. The standard Obama approach is to assume that no one could possibly have an informed and honest disagreement with him and therefore his opponents must be ignorant or driven by concealed base motives.

Yes, former President Barack Obama is a nasty piece of work. A tall, elegant and handsome piece of work, but nasty nonetheless. Judging more by his actions than words, he’s also an anti-Semite and doesn’t care for white folks that much. I’m not sure how deep his affection for Black folks is either. I don’t think “Americans” enters his graceful head at all. I think what Barack cares most about is Barack. Just look at his life post-Presidency. Not exactly hanging out at his Georgia peanut farm except when he goes off to pitch in building housing for poor folks. Barack might as well be Bill, but without the triangulated policy. Just sayin’.

This is James Freeman BTW.
