Americans are well aware of—and many are troubled by—Barack Obama’s ubiquity. Like a charismatic Rasputin, he endures, seemingly untouched by the scandals and pernicious legacy of his mal-administration. He remains active on social media. In 2026, he’s given three speeches and four interviews. With the grand opening of his controversial presidential library/homage to himself fast approaching, we should expect to see more of Obama. This grand opening (fyi, I.D. required) just happens to coincide with intensifying midterm campaigns. There’s nothing folx-y Obama likes more than working behind, in front of, beside, under, and above political campaigns to mold America into his image. What the man lacks in genuine humility and honesty, he makes up for in chutzpah.
So, Obama recently appeared with failed late-night, jibber-jabbery suck-up Stephen Colbert pontificating again about his hopes for change. When asked by Colbert about divisions in the Democrat Party, Obama, the slippery orator, cunningly elided the question:
I’m worried about the Republican party, not just the Democratic party. I love a loyal opposition. I love a Republican party that was conservative in some ways. They didn’t agree with me on a whole bunch of stuff but believed in the rule of law and judicial independence. There has been a Republican party like that in the past, and I want to see that return, because I think you have to have two healthy parties.
Yeah, that’s the ticket. Obama loves him some loyal opposition. He loves a Republican Party that is conservative, that believes in the rule of law and judicial independence.
This from the man under whose leadership the IRS targeted conservative groups in the months leading up to Obama’s successful re-election bid.
This from the titular, back-room brains-behind-the-Democrat machine that conjured a fake anti-Trump dossier, impeached Trump, and prosecuted the living daylights out of President Trump when he was out of office.
This from the honey-slathered forked tongue asp who has said nothing about the Democrat pressure on social media to bury stories Democrats didn’t like on COVID or Hunter Biden and his sizzling computer.
This from the puppeteer of that “healthy” Democrat party who has said nothing about Biden’s dementia and the scandalous autopen.
And no follow-up questions from toady Colbert.
Obama did finally address Colbert’s question with a dismissive metaphorical wave of his hand:
With respect to Democrats, I’m not as worried about this so-called rift between the left and liberals … because I think within the Democratic party—and I would argue independents and even some Republicans as well—there’s an overarching belief in equality, fairness.
It’s only a “so-called rift,” as opposed to an actual rift. There’s virtually no ideological space between John Fetterman and Elizabeth Warren, no space between Jared Golden and Ilhan Omar.
Obama learned his lesson when he was politically spanked for calling Republicans gun and religion clingers. This time around, Obama won’t make that mistake. This time he offers a rhetorical sop to conservatives by saying that “even some Republicans” believe in equality and fairness. He’s such a cunning rhetorician that he managed to pseudo-compliment and insult Republicans in one deft swoop.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but all Republicans believe in equality and fairness. Unlike Democrats, Republicans conceive of equality and fairness in the historical way—the way Martin Luther King Jr. conceived of them.
Historically, commitments to equality demanded that like things be treated alike and that all citizens be treated the same before the law. Commitments to equality and fairness meant that we should judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.
It is the Democrat Party, particularly since Obama’s reign, that decided to exploit racism for its political utility. Their plan: Systemically institutionalize racism everywhere. Claim to see it everywhere like a nasty version of Harvey’s invisible rabbit. Teach kindergartner’s that it’s everywhere, hiding in nooks and crannies, lurking in cloak rooms and under paint easels. Can’t see it, kids? Well, that’s a sure sign that it’s inside your system like a Guinea worm.
Obama describes what all Democrats support and “some Republicans” might:
If you work you should be able to make a living wage. You should be able to support a family, retire. We should not allow companies to just run roughshod over the rights of workers.
Colbert could have pointed out that all Republicans want workers to be able to make a living wage, support a family, and retire comfortably. That’s why Republicans want to lower taxes and reduce strangulating business regulations.
One wonders how Big Brother Obama feels about Big Government running roughshod over Americans.
Obama believes that the person best suited to improve the economic climate for Americans is Zohran Mamdani, who Obama described as “an extraordinary talent.”
You can’t make this stuff up. Obama thinks the experience-free socialist who promised government giveaways that he can’t deliver and who is driving wealthy taxpayers and job creators out of the state is an extraordinary political talent.
Mamdani is a mini-Barack who will do precisely what Obama did: foment social division, cozy up to Islamists, and wreck the economy.
Obama made yet another stunning remark:
The White House shouldn’t be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting. … The idea is that the attorney general is the people’s lawyer. It’s not the president’s consigliere. We’re going to have to do some work to return to this basic norm.
Can I get a “wow”? I’m sure Obama has looked in the mirror, so how did he miss that colossal log in his eye?
Obama is so presumptuous, so arrogant that he believes no one will remember that Eric Holder claimed to be Obama’s “wingman.” A wingman is a “trusted friend or partner who provides support, protection, and assistance, typically by … ‘watching their back’ in challenging social or professional situations.”
Does that sound like Holder was “the people’s lawyer”?
President Obama directed the DOJ under wingman Holder not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act. In a Feb. 2011 announcement, Holder said, “the President has instructed the Department [of Justice] not to defend the statute.”
So unusual and troubling was Obama’s directive that Jonathan Turley wrote,
The President’s decision to essentially “line-item” a law out of existence by refusing to defend it is a raw assertion of authority … It is a dangerous divorce from the traditional duty to defend even laws you find personally or politically distasteful.
Obama’s next attorney general was Loretta Lynch who met privately with Bill Clinton on the tarmac when Hillary Clinton was under investigation by the FBI and DOJ for her infamous email server.
Watch out, the oily Obama—lover of healthy political parties, the rule of law, judicial independence, equality, and fairness—is on the move again, and he’s snaking straight for the midterms.
