Obama Emerges From The Shadows To Explain National Policy- Gives Stern Advice To Democrats, ‘Be More Militant, You Losers’
7 min read
Pod Save America trotted former Democrat president Barack H. Obama out to do a podcast on ‘Pod Save America,’ and after reading over the transcript, the radical Marxist Community Organizer shows that he never intended on talking his fingers off of the control button- which he has connected to his boy- Democrat Joe Biden.
Obama, known for his militant spying and usurpations, has led much of the Marxist revolution in the United States since his easy entry into US politics. He even bragged about it in his interview this past weekend.
OBAMA THE SAVIOR
Obama: When I was running. I give one keynote address and suddenly I’m pretty well known nationally.
Obama: One of the things that I’m hoping to do over the next several years is in between elections maybe bring together some of this talent and see how I can lift them up and support them. And you know, cause turns out I still have, like, a lot of Twitter followers, and that’s more than some people, although I don’t really talk about it all the time.
IRAN
Obama, who is largely responsible for funding the Mullahs and the uprising in Iran is here talking about the problems in Iran, as if he is distant from the consequences of giving them power and money:
The question was asked: I saw that you and Michelle, put out a statement in support of the Iranian protestors earlier this week. I was just wondering why you thought it was important to weigh in, and if you think there’s lessons we can learn from the Green Movement in 2009 or the Arab Spring, about which of these democratic movements succeed and fail and why?
Obama: I think there’s no way to predict how this plays out. And one thing we all learned through the Arab Spring, the Green Movement in Iran and a lot of other places is that you can’t underestimate the power of just sheer force and violence, sadly, and the repressive mechanisms that a government like Iran has in place. But there are a couple of conclusions we can draw from. Number one, is that there is deep dissatisfaction with the Iranian regime.
Number two, that women in particular are chafing under a series of not just systematic discrimination against women and subjugation of women, but also an arbitrariness and a cruelty beneath that’s exercised by the state against women, which has made them essentially say, we’re fed up, we’re tired of this. And that’s extraordinarily powerful. Whether it ends up bringing about fundamental change in that regime, I think is hard to predict. But the one thing that, you know, when I think back to 2009, 2010, you guys will recall there was a big debate inside the White House about whether I should publicly affirm what was going on with the Green Movement, because a lot of the activists were being accused of being tools of the West and there was some thought that we were somehow gonna be undermining their street cred in Iran if I supported what they were doing. And in retrospect, I think that was a mistake.
Every time we see a flash, a glimmer of hope, of people longing for freedom, I think we have to point it out. We have to shine a spotlight on it. We have to express some solidarity about it. That doesn’t mean by the way that the administration is– that a US administration shouldn’t be taking a bunch of other equities into account.
Obama: They have to, a president has to, right? So I continue to believe that the Iran Nuclear Deal was a really important thing for us to do to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Had we not had that in place, I think Iran would’ve had a nuclear weapon by now.
UKRAINE
Here is what explains much of our national presence on the world stage in Ukraine:
Obama: I think what the Ukrainian people have accomplished is extraordinary and it’s a testimony to not just the courage of a few soldiers, but this is a entire nation mobilizing in the face of extraordinary odds, and making tremendous sacrifices. And Zelensky himself has risen to the moment in a way that his biography would not have necessarily anticipated, right? So, at the end of the day, it is not our job to tell the Ukrainians, when is it enough, how far should they go, what concession should they make, etc. That’s up to them. As their allies, it is important for us to support them financially, militarily, through our intelligence.
We do however, have to be clear and honest with them about what we can and cannot do. And there are lines that we have to determine internally, the US, NATO, and others that take into account the risk of this tipping into a Russia/ US/NATO conflict as opposed to a Russia/Ukraine conflict. I’m not privy to enough of the intelligence at this stage and it’s not my job as a private citizen to weigh in on where that line should be drawn, but as we’re thinking about, for example, what weapons we’re sending in or how we’re approaching our support for Ukraine, I think thinking about where defense stops and offense begins and how we manage that, is something that we have to pay attention to.
And I do think, you know, probably the thing that I’m most concerned about is that lines of communication between the White House and the Kremlin are probably as weak as they have been in a very long time. Even in some of the lowest points of the Cold War, there was still a sense of the ability to pick up a phone and work through diplomatic channels to send clear signals. And a lot of that is broken down and I don’t think it’s the fault of our administration.
Obama: I think that we’re now dealing with a type of Russian regime that is actually even more centralized, even more isolated and closed off. I think Putin has consolidated decision making to a degree that we haven’t seen even during the Soviet era and I think creates some dangerous…and us finding ways in which some of that communication can be reestablished, I think would be important.
MOBILIZATION
Dan: Do you think there’s a way to sort of weave those things into one narrative about the stakes in this election?
Obama: Well, look, I think the first and most important issue is: Are we going to preserve and hopefully strengthen our democracy? That’s sort of a baseline question. And I believe that given how at least Republican officials have behaved, they increasingly are willing to subvert basic democratic procedures, right?
Like, let’s count votes. Let’s make sure that people are allowed to vote. Let’s make sure that whoever gets the most votes has the most seats. And that if they get the most votes in Congress that you can pass laws, right? Basic stuff like that they don’t increasingly seem to believe in. And, and so that’s the sense of urgency that I have.
Now, I think for the average voter out there, we can talk about specific issues that are important to them. And this has been a long term battle that we’ve been having between Democrats and Republicans. And that is, do we create the kind of economy that gives everybody a fair shot? And that grows the economy in a way that is good for not just a few, but the many.
And the great thing that I think we have going for us is, is that even with really slim majorities, what we’ve shown is, is that we can deliver. You know, the Biden Administration has accomplished a lot. You’ve got a historic infrastructure bill that’s gonna help rebuild America and create jobs all across the country.
You’ve got the Inflation Control Act that has lowered prescription drug prices, has made sure that healthcare is even more affordable through the ACA, that is looking at lowering energy costs. You’ve got a gun bill that is the first major piece of gun safety legislation that we’ve seen in 30 years.
You know, across the board, what we’ve seen is that when Democrats have a working majority, or even really slim majority in Congress, they can make people’s lives better. And so, you know, if you combine the deep concerns about our democracy with the concrete accomplishments that this administration had been able to deliver, because we had a narrow majority in both the House and the Senate, that should be enough to inspire people to get out.
Now, there’s one last piece of business that I think has been on a lot of people’s minds, and that’s Dobbs, right? The overturning of Roe versus Wade. Because what that also indicates is that a lot of rights that we’ve taken for granted— one through enormous struggle and mobilization over the last 40, 50 years– those aren’t rights that we can take for granted.
