Obama's Damaging Color Campaign for Harris
14 October 2024 By Abiodun Kareem Giwa
Kamala Harris and Barack Obama
Barack Obama is making things worse for Kamala Harris. He is not discussing the vice president's ability to turn the economy around, solve the border problem, or make life more amenable for everyone but seeking black men not to use their senses in choosing how to vote. Why does he think black men should behave the same way they did when he ran for president?
Times have changed between 2008 and 2024. American men's black neighborhoods talk about what Obama did not do for them and their loss as a result. Many believe what they suffered during Obama's presidency must not repeat itself. Rather than help Harris, Obama is worsening the situation.
Yesterday, the first black man ran, and now, are we talking about the first black woman? What benefit accrued to the black man under the first black president? It would be better if the first black woman intelligently campaigned to show she had what it took to lead. First, she began on an opportunity ride. Nancy Pelosi said Harris seized the opportunity when Biden offered her rather than seek an open contest.
She either needed to remember or understand how she ended her run in 2020—still brushed aside all top Democrats who expected an open competition to replace Biden on the ticket. She ought to have known, as a vice president in a democratic society, that anointing by one influential person does not meet the Constitutional requirement to run for president. She believed she could run and win on vibes and dancing without articulating her policy position. Another flaw is her personality and interpersonal capability. She finds it difficult to answer a question without rolling words into words unless on teleprompter. Some say it is an effort to hide her liberal policy agenda, while others say uglier things.
Some say President Biden deliberately pushed her into a difficult assignment to punish a larger crowd of Democrats who sought his ouster; knowing her flaws, he knew Harris's campaign would not succeed. Ordinarily, the administration she belongs to is an utter failure, a truth many Democrats cannot live with. They presented Biden and Harris in 2020 - a failure and still want the continuation of one of them.
The economy is a failure; border security is no different, and security in major American cities under the Democratic Party is messy. The world is in total disarray due to the Ukrainian and Russian wars and the Middle East implosion. America can blame Russia's Putin aggression for the Ukraine war but itself for the Iranian wealth that has made the country a sponsor of terrorism and the cause of the Middle East's trouble. Taming Iran is necessary to save the region. If the Democrats win, America will continue with Iranian appeasement, which is not the solution. Obama began the Iranian appeasement policy. Donald Trump stopped it, but Biden later renewed it. Just like Harris and Waltz have no successful policy to run and campaign, the same applies to Obama—the reason for his recourse to the black brothers' discourse.
Some people say Obama has aged so fast after his presidency that he may have forgotten the truth of his time and the new dispensation. Others ask, can it be a cognitive problem for the former president to have left issues to pander to color politics? People are laughing at Barack Obama. Should people be free individually to determine their future and economic prospects without resorting to group following?
It will be different If group association or belonging to the Democratic Party is beneficial to black brothers. But it is not. Obama was president for eight years with an opportunity to improve the lots of brothers but failed the expectations. Some say Congress disallowed him. Others say he had a time when his party controlled both houses of Congress and still did nothing. Look at events in Chicago, where the black population lives in endless expectation of hope. The place was Obama's home and the launching pad for his political life.
In Chicago, he proclaimed the arrival of hope on the night of his election victory, but it never materialized. Did he hear about the palpable condition of brothers there?
What has he done to intervene and explain the acceptability or otherwise of money going to care for illegal aliens while brothers suffer in silence? What about New York, where $4000 goes to each illegal family to move out of shelters to begin their life? After years as president, Obama is a millionaire, and our brothers remain in penury and helplessness.
