With Michelle Obama busy recording her disastrous podcast with her brother, Barack Obama looks like a man without a purpose — drifting between mansions, jetting off on luxury trips with his wealthy friends, or cashing in on the speaking circuit. The glow of being the “first Black president” and the champion of “fundamental transformation” wore off years ago, especially after he hitched his wagon to Kamala Harris’s doomed presidential run.
Now, with Michelle’s own revelations — that she hated her time in the White House, that she doesn’t really enjoy her kids, and maybe doesn’t even like Barack — the shine isn’t just gone. What’s left looks more like decay beneath the surface.
Barack Obama still seems convinced that his words carry weight — but they don’t. The proof? Like so many politicians past their prime, he delivered another round of fact-free, inflammatory remarks overseas, this time in the United Kingdom. Funny how Obama and his allies prefer to criticize America on foreign soil, far from the voters they once claimed to represent.
On Wednesday, at his “An Evening with Barack Obama” event in London’s O2 Arena, the former president decided to pontificate on President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s autism initiative.
What followed was less eloquence than empty rhetoric — the latest reminder of how little relevance he actually has left:
We have the spectacle of my successor in the Oval Office, making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproved. And… the.. the degree to which… uh, that undermines public health. The degree to which that can do harm to women who are pregnant. The degree to which that creates anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic.
Which, by the way, itself, is subject to a spectrum, and a lot of what is being trumpeted as these massive increases actually have to do with a broadening of the criteria across that spectrum so that people can get services and help. All of that is violence against the truth.
PLAY:
WHAT IS TRUTH? Pilate asked it before handing Jesus over to be crucified. Fitting question for Barack Obama, who’s still washing his hands while pretending he bears no responsibility for the carnage his policies left behind.
Obamacare? A scam that shackled Americans with sky-high costs and broken promises — remember “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”? Yeah, that lie aged like sour milk. Then there’s his DOJ and intel machine — weaponized against reporters, political opponents, and yes, even Donald Trump.
Now, as declassified files (thank you, DNI Tulsi Gabbard) keep exposing the rot, “Barry” keeps chucking stones to cover the cracks in his own glass house. The truth? There’s plenty of blood on those hands — and no amount of global speeches or finger-pointing will scrub it clean.
No sign of Michelle in London. Curious, isn’t it? Just last week the Obamas were spotted in Portofino, jet-setting on Steven Spielberg’s $250 million superyacht. They showed up separately, posed together, and cruised around like all was well.
But let’s be real — the smell of marital trouble still hangs heavy in the air. For a couple that sells themselves as America’s picture of unity, the cracks are starting to show, and people are noticing.
