For a moment on Tuesday, it was 2008 all over again at the Democratic National Convention.
“I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling fired up. I am feeling ready to go,” former president Barack Obama said to open his headlining speech, harking back to his 2008 campaign chant. “I am feeling hopeful, because this convention has always been pretty good to kids with funny names who believe in a country where anything is possible.”
There were the chants of “Yes, we can” and “Yes, she can.” There was the talk of “hope making a comeback,” a blatant effort by the Democrats to try to inject some of Obama’s 2008 magic

Yep.
Zero's looking to have a new puppet whose strings he can pull from behind the green curtain. Not some 'old white guy' but a more 'hip' so-called 'black' (even if she's mostly Indian)... but she's not one of those Evil White Folks, so he can go back to playing the RAAAACCCCEEEE card anytime anyone disagrees with his marionette.
New puppet, same Communist puppeteer.

This is the Democrats. Everything is identity politics but certain subjects will gain popularity and votes. Racism and wealth inequity helped Barack Obama win the presidency in 2008. Abortion became the next winning issue. Democrats think they can do it again in 2024.
Perhaps, more Americans are waking up to the illegitimacy of this election. Kamala Harris did not win any primary votes and she is now campaigning for the presidency. Look at what has happened in the last few months. Barack Obama at a fundraiser on June 17, 2024 has to help Joe Biden off the stage. On July 13, 2024, an attempted assassination of Donald Trump took place.
Americans are starting to see who the Democrats are but Barack and Michelle Obama have to come in and save the day. Sad.

Knowing that Brandon couldn’t be re-elected, scheduled the DNC late. Made sure he wasn’t replaced by a worse VP. Offer no other candidate. Wait for Trump to campaign against him and demolish him. Move the poor guy out. Replace him with the preselected puppet. Remake her. Install the person vetting her VP choice. Choose the next radical lefty. Millions of illegals to choose from to vote. Continue the destruction of the USA. Gullible Dems cheer them on. Was this the plan along? God help us.

Merlin has lost whatever Mojo he had in 2008 but the democrats are slow to catch on. We blame the Kenyan Klown for the huge amount of damage that America has undergone since then. Black Lies Matter to nobody except the liars who repeat them.

I have one more comment. Magic? Sure, as protesters are outside the building destroying barriers.

Fat « We have a broader idea of freedom. We believe in the freedom to provide for your family if you are willing to work hard. The freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water and send your kids to school without worrying if they will come home,” he said.«
So, let’s kick those unwilling to work hard of public dole. Let’s turn our communities into republican Mayberry’s rather than democratic Chicago’s. Let’s downsize from 4 mansions and world travel on a whim.

Fta « Unlike Trump, he said, “Kamala Harris won’t be focused on her problems. She’ll be focused on yours. As president she won’t just cater to her own supporters, and punish those who refuse to kiss the ring or bend the knee. «
Um…Kamala is the ONE who demands staff rise when she enters a room. Kamala is the ONE who punishes folks for looking at her eyes

Behind all of the political happy talk the Bidens despise the Obamas and Obama has already said he doesn’t think Kamala can win. He will still dutifully tell us not to worry because she plans to fix everything that she and Biden broke. And never mind that Obama was behind most of it.

FTA: He quoted Abraham Lincoln. And he called for Americans to vote for Democrats “up and down the ballot who will fight for the hopeful, forward-looking America we all believe in.” Gee, why didn't he quote one of the slaver party Democrats? Instead of the most famous Republican ever? He is surely a son of the Father Of Lies.

Resurrect the coalition that got Obama elected twice and grow it with immigrants (both legal and illegal). It's a sound strategy. Just have to execute it. Best way to combat this is ask the Democrats what they have to show from following Obama's policies after enacting them for 12 years. They have failed. There is plenty of proof. Obama's coalition not only voted, they cheated. Have to convince them to doubt their policies. Are you better off now after having Obama for 12 years? Get them to do someone other than vote and cheat for Harris.

Obama’s speech at the DNC sounded like a tired old comedian using tired old humor to get audiences appeal. But really it was all about him trying to be the star whose light has dimmed and is on the way to becoming a red dwarf.

I had forgotten about this guy, and the name of his "kick 'em" wingman. Their reappearance has not brought back any confidence, Kamala and Walz being the product of their ingenious vetting.

Omg, I can’t. I just can’t. I’m surprised the Messiah's nose wasn’t 20’ long, after his DNC pep talk. Even HE doesn’t believe a word he said. Every word he utters, every photo he’s in, every video clip of him doing his Bas’etball Jones walk makes my skin crawl.

The whole Obama agenda, the whole communist democratic playbook is based on racism. That's all it is, pit people against each other. Sad part is, most blacks still don't get it. In every democratic run city their children are suffering without an education. Why, because the Obamas talk a lot but have done absolutely nothing to educate the minority family. Nothing. They are against school choice, voucher programs and charter schools. That is an absolute fact. The schools systems in those cities are the worst they have ever been. Somebody should ask Obama right to his face. Ask him why he is owned by the teachers union, ask him how much is he paid to keep children from getting an education. Then watch him lie and blame Trump. Get it yet.

#23 nailed it. And isn’t it interesting that wealth inequity 0bama is now worth a couple hundred million and has four mansions. And he didn’t do diddly-squat for his homies other than give them free phones with which to plan their looting escapades and group beat-downs.

Barry Sotero is as fake as his name. However the Jihad Junta is very real. It is sickening. Eric Holder was commissioned by the Mullahs and Barry to find suitable props, Kamila and WalzingMantilda fill the bill perfectly.
