Obama Gets Honest About Kamala's Big Problem, Shows How Desperate Dems Are: Part 2

Posted • October 10, 2024: How do you know the Democrats are worried and desperate? They're now pulling out the only "big guns" they have left including Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Obama was in Pittsburgh for a Black Voters for Harris event. He spoke to about 40 people and he identified a big problem that Kamala Harris faces: that she isn't generating much enthusiasm for her. What's the problem, according to Barack Obama? It's on the "brothas." 🚨 BARACK OBAMA SOUNDS THE ALARM on lower black - and black male - enthusiasm for Kamala Harris. "We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy [...] That [lower enthusiasm] seems to be more pronounced with the brothers." -- "We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters in our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running," Obama said, frowning. "Now, I also want to say that seems to be more pronounced with the brothas. So if you don't mind, just for a second, I'm going to speak to y'all for a minute."

Then what he offered was a typical blatant appeal to race, defining why they should vote for Harris not by what she has done or what she would do to help the country, but by she grew up like them and "understands" the same struggles. I don't know about you think, but it sounds to me like he's struggling to whip up enthusiasm. Barack Obama having a serious talk at a Black voters for Harris event in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty. He addressed that Black men have not been as enthused about Harris as during his first run, and that has to change to beat Trump. He sounds pretty nervous to me, and he'd be right to be, given all the signs and polls. It sounds like he knows he can't even be convinced of the people in the room who are already supposed to be the "convinced." The responses on X from many black people were also not receptive to being talked to like that by Obama.

Yes, Harris is struggling with black men. But she's struggling with all men, as even MSNBC has acknowledged. And that's just one demo group. She's also lost people from the far left, union members, Hispanics, even young people 18-29 that you would think would be normally rock solid for Democrats. It's a big change from both Obama and Biden. They can come up with all manner of excuses but that's the reality and it's showing up in all the polls and it's going to particularly hurt her in places like Pittsburgh and in the other Rust Belt areas. Doesn't sound like she's generating a lot of "joy." The problem is a simple one. Men and the other people fleeing Harris know they had it better under Trump, they've seen the failure that Kamala has been a big part of, indeed she can't or wouldn't even say what she would do differently. So why should they buy into this again, after how harmful the last few years have been? Why would they be convinced by Obama trying to scold them? Can you imagine how bad their internals must be for them to roll him out to say this? (…)
