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.
