Pre-packaged and presented to the Western World as the ‘Messiah’ by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) back in 2008, in the aftermath of the El Paso and Ohio mass shootings, ex- U.S. president Barack Obama is hypocritically trying to re-present himself as ‘Saint Obama of the Barracks’.
Make way for ‘Saint Obama of the Barracks’ which leaves no room for contemplation of the horrific 32 mass shootings during his destructive White House reign.“Did George Bush ever condemn President Obama after Sandy Hook. President Obama had 32 mass shootings during his reign. Not many people said Obama is out of Control. Mass shootings were happening before the President even thought about running for Pres.”In the midst of the visceral Democrat hatred that followed the humiliating defeat of Hillary Clinton in 2016, can you imagine Obama getting away with this: “Ex-president urges Americans to reject language that ‘feeds climate of fear and hatred’ after El Paso and Dayton shootings” (Guardian, Aug. 5, 2019)
“Barack Obama has said Americans must “soundly reject language” from any leader who “feeds a climate of fear and hatred or normalises racist sentiments” in his first public statement since mass shootings in Texas and Ohio.The language feeding “a climate of fear and hatred, or that “normalises racist sentiments” began and continues to this day—courtesy of the divisive Barack Obama.
“A shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday killed 22 people, and a second shooting outside a crowded bar in Dayton, Ohio, early on Sunday killed nine people. (Guardian) “The suspect in the El Paso attack posted a racist, anti-immigrant screed shortly before, investigators say. The motive of the Dayton shooter, who died in the attack, is not yet clear.” “In the former president’s statement on Monday, which did not mention Donald Trump directly, he also told Americans “we are not helpless” in the face of the country’s high frequency of mass shootings. “And until all of us stand up and insist on holding public officials accountable for changing our gun laws, these tragedies will keep happening,” Obama wrote. “He advised Americans to also denounce the language of “leaders who demonise those who don’t look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life, or refer to other people as subhuman”. “Such language had “been at the root of most human tragedy throughout history”, Obama added, and had “no place in our politics and our public life”.

“Obama, like many presidents before him, has exercised caution to avoid pointed criticism of his successor. But his comments left little doubt that his call to reject the normalisation of racism referred to Trump, who has spoken disparagingly about immigrants, calling them rapists and murderers, and has decried an “invasion” at the southern border.”What “exercise of caution” ever came from Obama—before, during or even after—his divisive presidency? Obama, who has been far more cunning than cautious in “avoiding pointed criticism of his successor”, doesn’t have to do it himself, because he left behind a raft of administration holdovers when he departed from pubic office to do it for him. Obama, now the world’s biggest “resistance” leader living in the lap of luxury, had just left rubbing shoulders with Prince Harry and other elitists at the Google Summer Camp when the tragedy of El Paso went down.
