Gee, Ya Think

So, the Daily Mail (Yeah, I know) interviewed  David Garrow, Barack Obama's Pulitzer prize winning biographer, and he criticizes the former President's campaigning for Harris as, "Tone-deaf preaching."

I do not understand why he is surprised by this.

Smug tone deaf preaching has kind of been Barack Obama's thing since he was (at least) a law student at Harvard:

Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have been slammed by his biographer for 'talking down' to voters in 'tone-deaf and clueless' preaching that harmed Kamala Harris' ill-fated presidential campaign.

The effect was so bad that – combined with Donald Trump's victory – it is likely to reduce the 44th president's political relevance to 'Bill Clinton levels', David Garrow said in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com.

'People do not want to be talked down to, no matter who they are,' the 71-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner said.

………

Garrow said Tuesday's electoral rout has left Obama, 63, 'nervous' about the impact Trump could have on how he is seen by future generations.

'He has been and remains extremely concerned and nervous about his historical legacy,' he said.

Barack Obama's concern for his historical legacy has always been about him, and not about what he did, and did not do.

He betrayed his promises to labor, gave what amounted to amnesty to torturers, and he steadfastly protected the criminals behind the 2008 financial crisis from criminal prosecution.

At the same time, his administration allowed the victimization of homeowners through legally dubious means in order to, "Foam the runways," for the banksters.

F%$# Obama's narcissism, and %$# his legacy.
