11/05/24: So do I. However, a verb tense realignment is necessary. They are already irrelevant, TODAY. And let's hedge on this. Remember when Obama was an Election Day albatross and Democrats in office would BEG him not to campaign for them? When he'd visit their states, they disappeared. Harris should have done the exact same thing. But Obama probably has the Willie Brown blackmail photos.

If the obamas are anything like hillary, we still have decades until we see the last of him. They dont have real lives. Their life only has internal meaning when they are inflicting torment on the rest of us. Such is they way of the psychopath.

I think a lot of people are seeing the light after Democrats are embracing the Cheneys and Obama is out there knowingly lying about the 'very fine people' hoax.

But this is always who Obama was. He made you feel cool for hating on the other side back in his prime -- but that charm is gone.

When Obama ran in 08, my brand new boyfriend at the time.. said to me “ don’t listen to what he says, watch what he does”… 16 years later, that cute boyfriend just poured me a glass of wine and said “ that guy needs to shut up!”

Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize and let Putin have his way in Ukraine. Sent some blankets.

Despite the infamous phone call, Trump actually armed them, with so slight a delay they didn't even notice. Maybe we're meant to believe that this was 28D chess by Putin, allowing Trump to send advanced anti-tank weapons to his enemies.

Trump sent Javelins, the man-portable "fire and forget" anti-armor missile, later used against the convoy from Belarus attempting to take the Ukrainian capitol, Kyiv. Putin's troops brought dress uniforms, expecting a victory parade.

I actually volunteered for a hypothetical 2008 presidential run after his 2004 keynote speech. Luckily, by the time that 2008 election rolled around, I was listening to Ron Paul and saw right through Obama. (My suspicions were immediately confirmed when he flipped on telecom immunity.)

The interview with Obama biographer David Garrow in Tablet opened my eyes.

I came away believing that Obama is a manufactured commodity. Very little of his story is true.

Took me half of his first term to catch on. But, i never voted Dem top of the ticket again after his first term. Terror Tuesdays was the straw that broke this camel's back. Went Gary J in '12 - it was the only anti-war, anti-crony capitalism, pro-civil liberties choice on my ballot.

I think that Pelosi should have been shitcanned after '10.

Jill was on the ballot in 2012 and was all those things. I voted for her as I saw what Obama was, right after he took office and supported a horrendous coup in Honduras that lead to an exodus of refugees north. It wasn’t their fault as their country was turned into a hellscape.

I was politically naive at the time so I thought, “I really need to check this guy out! “ so I was totally open. As soon as I saw him I knew he was a total BS machine. I thank him for one thing-He woke me up.

That psyop started in 07. the dems have been dumbing themselves down for almost 20 years since then. they cant pull that level of mindfucking off anymore. they lack the talent, the logical arguments, and people are redpilled. like hillary said, they lost total control.

Every world election in the past few years has had a result in a half day or less. We are the only place on earth that won’t know a clear winner for days, maybe weeks after the election. And we are supposed to just accept that? We had way quicker results 75 years ago. It’s crap.

My parents love to tell the story of being at some Mayor Daley fundraiser at the Sears Tower in the late 90s and seeing Obama all alone in the corner. They recognized him because he was just elected a state senator. They went over to keep him company because they felt sorry for him. How times have changed…
