Obama Deployed to Salvage Wreck of SS Biden
Notice you’re seeing Obama pop up here and there to backstop Biden? Just a quick note here to observe that this is likely a sign of disastrous internal polling. The ship of diminished state is taking on water.
Obama, of course, is here to support the dimwit-in-chief, but I also smell (check my grades later) a “correction” coming. Obama is playing top cover for Joe to forsake Israel. The Slow Joe administration screwed up in the Marxist’s eyes by swiftly and clearly supporting Israel in her moment of grief and fury. This was the right decision to arrive at quickly, and I commend the people who got it done. It was probably not difficult because it is self-evidently the right answer.
But it was the wrong answer for the US political party that hates America and Israel equally, and now they have work to do. Kamala’s “Islamophobia” (that’s a made-up word) trial balloon did not go well, or not well enough, and Blinken’s back-pedaling, Kirby’s shoe-gazing, and KJP’s… whatever that act is… are all insufficient to get Joe off the hook. They are having difficulty getting the boat to go the wrong way.
And so Captain Wrong-Way has now arrived on scene like the magnificent Italian Coast Guard Commander De Falco who flame-sprayed the Captain of Costa Concordia — but in reverse. The ship was making good headway, and now Obama is shouting to open all the valves, throw the rudder hard over toward the rocks, pee in all the fuel — whatever it takes to stop America’s support of Israel’s legitimate and reasonable military operation to prevent recurrence of the October 7 attacks.
Obama has publicly maintained distance from his third term, but now dual disasters have forced him to show himself again — Slow Joe’s tanking numbers and the accidental, reflexively correct decision to support Israel in the face of horrific, unspeakable atrocity.
And now Obama must get Joe on board with Team Atrocity. Vai a bordo!

So America’s leading antisemite charges to the fore.
I was thinking Obama speaking out was not to help Joe, but anyone on the Left that confused about what to advocate and what words to say. Generally people on the Left know how to follow the narrative, but the narrative today (promote Hamas positions) was getting too much blowback. Some Lefties were getting cold feet. Cue Obama to massage the narrative get everyone back on the same page.
Well, I can hope that everyone tells Barry where to stuff it.
I’m not saying that he does it for love of Joe. It’s damage control for his sock puppet.
I think he just can’t help himself. He’s letting his freak fly and being much more actively aggressive than his usual sneaky passive approach. I expect he thinks he’s thiiisssss close to getting what he wants.
The Wheels Are Coming Off the Biden Administration
Would love to know. Will some enterprising young reporter ask The One what he meant by “occupation”?
Here, take the abbreviation BHO to mean the cognitive entity that’s manipulating public opinion and maybe world events. Now, that might not even exist, in which case BHO is null. Or it might be a set of individuals.
It’s good that BHO is surfacing publicly.
I am not sure whether Obama’s presence is meant to salvage the wreck of SS Biden, or to be the torpedo that sinks it. I suspect it is the latter.
Yeah, they have themselves quite a pickle. The Obamites want to preserve their hidden cabal, but their disguise is falling apart in front of everybody’s eyes. They don’t want Kamala, and they don’t want to lose. They (or somebody) keeps sending Buttigieg out but nobody likes him for President.
Quite a pickle.
Plausible.
So what has he been saying? He used to be good at telling people if now was/wasn’t the time to rush to judgment. Something along those lines?
I have a feeling that the Biden/Harris ticket is going to be replaced. Newsom/Whitmer, anyone?
I tend to think that if they were going to replace Biden/Harris, they would have had to do it already in order for the replacements to gain enough of a national profile.
Remember that the Republican Convention next summer is one month before the Democratic Convention.
As soon as the Republicans have locked in on Trump, look for Biden to get pushed out.
Way too late.
So the media would be filling the ears of their listeners with their happy talk about how Joe Biden is wonderful and perfect and caring and exactly what this country needs . . . for four years, . . . and then just before the election they’ll have to switch to telling them he’s not, and here’s this new replacement.
You can’t undo mind-control that drastically and not suffer damage. You can’t swap in a replacement candidate that late in the game and expect to win.
Unless, you know, you’ve already got it rigged.
Yeah, they have the media in single-button control. They can do whatever they want.
Poll after poll shows that the vast majority of the population is desperate for an alternative to Trump v Biden.
Whichever party offers an alternative wins in a walk.
That’s what they say. I guess.
Wow. That’s handy. Who knew it was so easy?
Truth is just truth. You can’t have opinions about truth.
A few months ago I offered a $500 bet on this (if one of the two party replaces the candidate [Trump/Biden], that party wins). Nobody took me up on it.
That’s two playground retorts in one comment. Impressive.
Here’s MSNBC, speaking for the Democratic Party:
What’s behind the nonsensical campaign to replace Biden-Harris in 2024
MSNBC is the manifestation of the Democrat Narrative.
And they call replacing Biden “nonsense.”
Slate: Stop moaning about replacing Biden and Harris. This is the 2024 Democratic ticket, whether you like it or not.
New Republic: Democrats Who Want to Replace Biden in 2024 Have Lost Touch With Reality
CNN: Harris allies and key Democrats rally around vice president amid party handwringing
Replacing Biden and Harris is not the dream of the Democrats. (They need controllable puppets after all.) But it clearly is the dream of Trump-hating Republicans, because they want their hopes for a Trump loss to come true, and it’s the only way they can see it happening.
Of course the ticket won’t change. They are filling in the mail-in ballots already.
Except to the extent that no national profile is needed for people who always vote D no matter what, let alone for the manufacturing of pre-filled ballots.
Ibid.
And they wouldn’t have to say that Biden is now bad, in order to replace him.
What if BOTH parties have someone different?
Then no bet.
Jews make up 2% of the US population, yet according to FBI crime statistics, are victims of 50% of the hate crimes reported. These stats are from nominal good times, what do you think is going on now?
Obama has to come to Biden’s rescue. Because he has too, Biden is in trouble because he continued the policies of the Obama. Appeasement and engagement of Iran, diminishing American power, etc. If the Obama is not there to run cover for Biden and control the situation, Biden might lose his nerve and reverse coarse – repudiate the Obama policy…
The American military establishment has already been stretched to the breaking point. China has been slowly backing out of US assets, their US dollar holding are already down 40% … at some point they’ll sacrifice some of it, and flood it onto the market all at once… Driving the dollar down, equity and debt markets down… which conversely causes interest rates to rise…
Now sure what good Obama would do – Bursima Joe applied Obama’s wish list.
But Obama was better able to lie about it.
Nah, he was just shielded from criticism by virtue of his race.
Biden doesn’t enjoy such privilege.
