Now that it appears safe, Obama has apparently reemerged from his hole. And, as always, it's about him, personally. From the Daily Mail:
Obama's new memoir, to be published on Tuesday, say that he came to believe that the fact that there was a black president caused 'deep-seated panic, a sense that the natural order had been disrupted.'
He writes that Trump used that mood to win the 2016 election saying that 'for millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House, he promised an elixir for their racial anxiety.'
You see, it can't be that perhaps the electorate hated the idea of having Hillary Clinton as president. Or that she promised more wars, fewer jobs, and continued immiseration.
And of course it had to do with Obama's skin color. It couldn't be any of his policies or legislative initiatives, high energy costs, the flow of jobs to China, the rise of Antifa and BLM during his administration, or his failure to get the U.S. out of its many wars as he had promised.
It really was about his skin color. I'll never forget the day I went downtown in 2008 and saw Black people lined up around the block at the voter registration building. That had never been seen ever before. I'm certain, however, that their sudden enthusiasm for the voting process was based on the content of Obama's character...and not the color of his skin.
ReplyDeleteYou're right: his popularity was primarily due to his skin color. Hillary's lose and Trump's victory, though, had nothing to do with Obama's skin color.
DeleteObama is so full of shit his eyes are brown.
