In his latest incarnation as president emeritus and corporate multimillionaire community activist, we are reminded of the earlier Barack Obama of “get in their face,” “take a gun to a knife fight,” and “punish our enemies” vintage. From time to time, Obama ventures from his hilltop, seaside, $12 million “you didn’t build that” Martha’s Vineyard Estate or his tony Washington, D.C. $8 million “spread the wealth” mansion to lecture the nation on all of its racist sins, past and present.
In these outings, he seeks to advise lesser folk on how we can still find redemption (make Puerto Rico a state?), given that his own eight years as president apparently proved

Great piece; the very last bit is the best, about Obama "pushing" (yea, right) Michelle into the VP slot and so ruling the roost again when Biden collapses or dies. A very likely, though ghoulish, scenario, I have thought since Biden declared. Talk about pigs returning to their own vomit! However, if this happens, I think it is not correct to assume that, even with Moochelle haranguing us from her podium, increasing the racial vacuum with her mysterious spite, and certainly envy, Biden still may not win. Can't you just hear her say, "I wouldn't have done this if it hadn't been for the country's need". Yea, the sycophants will go for it. Most Americans will not. I don't think even the Democrats will present a united front on that one. Michelle and Obama are chancers, and there is a very good chance that many frightened and aghast Americans, at this point, know that and certainly don't like it.

Another spot-on VDH essay. The Magic Negro has shown up again because if Biden wins in 2020, Traitor Obama's legacy will continue as though Criminal Clinton had won in 2016 after all, and DJT never happened. --Vets for Trump 2020

Obama's terrific as long as it is emoting for the rabble.
But he never was much for hard work.
Even the lefty NYTimes is concerned that he's missed his deadline for writing his latest memoir.
The publisher is more than concerned.
How do they call back his huge advance?
But emoting?
That he can do.

Victor Davis Hanson is a national treasure. How great it would be to see President Trump present him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the next State of the Union Address.

I'm with #4.
VDH blows the smog away from the source(s); including the chip on the shoulder.

Don’t you just love when the Hawaiian/Indonesian puts on that black southern preacher act? Every single second of 0bama’s life has been a complete fraud.

The "purple lipped camel jockey" has been quiet for too long.
He is worried people have forgotten him!
But the misery he inflicted upon the US will linger for more years!
Keep America Great

Everybody says Mooch is too lazy to be president.
Just shipped a year or more of primaries.
Uncle Joe delays his pick a couple more weeks.
Mooch is podcasting with you know who.
Could very well end up being the FIRST woman black president, eat that Hillary!!!
These people could GAS about the country, the people, the vets, and yes BLM.
All that matters to them is their big ego. They laugh at America. VOTE MAGA

At the funeral Obama sounded like the Reverend Al. Sharpton and that was nothing to be proud of. Come to think of it, Obama even resembled Sharpton in upper body type.

The ever present Mullat-Obama gaming the public.
Wanna bet he's securing Moochelle for the VP slop with sleepy Joe.

If Barr and Dunham aren't up to the job of exposing this fraud for the absolute terrorist/criminal he is, get someone who will do the job.

As far as caring about the black lives lost in Chicago or any other demhold cesspit...Pharaobama cares less about their lives than the ash he flicks off any of his numerous cigarettes. They, like his white grandparents, white mother, various institutes of hired 'learning', were merely stepping stones in his narcissistic, delusional, megalomaniacal pursuit of power and adulation.

Even with full control of the Congress he didn’t change much. As Hanson goes on, his "signature characteristics" were on full display at the Lewis funeral.
