It seems as though Barack Obama enjoyed his celebrity as the 44th President of The United States from afar for some time. Now, he is resurfacing from his multi-million-dollar Netflix, book and speaking engagement deals and the pile of grift-I mean cash- he and Michelle have been rolling around in.

This, from Politico, may explain more of why “44” has been hopping on Twitter between his private jet jaunts to the family home in Martha’s Vineyard to the family home in Hawaii. The reason is not as simple as Barak Obama being a flaming narcissist who cannot stand a moment of being out of the limelight, away from the adoration of those who think he is the second coming of the Messiah. Barack has been pretty much silent as his former VP took the helm and made this country FUBAR. Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up, right, Barack?

…Which lends to perfect timing for Barack Obama to swoop in and save the day! In fact just this week, Barack was seen at The White House doing lunch with Joe Biden. Obama was also featured in two videos campaigning with the old, senile geezer-in-chief, himself. Take a look:

Five reasons to donate to the Biden campaign. One of those reasons? “So you have the freedom to read certain books to your kids”. I’m not kidding. The old ficus plant said so himself. Vote for Joe if you want your Kindergartener to hear “Gender Queer” at circle time, folks! Or folx (whatever).

Confidantes and aides expect Obama’s political appearances to be strategic, with an emphasis on leaning in at opportune moments and with an eye on tackling some of the political work that Biden has trouble with.”-Myah Ward, Politico

Political work Biden has trouble with? Ummm….everything?!

Obama has been strategically showing up in an attempt to gin up a younger pool of voters. Old, crusty, coastal Democrats who have made their money and live in their retired island-bubbles where they don’t care about porn being brought into elementary schools, high gas prices at the pump and grocery store and the wellbeing of future generations in general, have been voting and donating for years. The Chardonnay Moms in the upper, middle-class, crime-free, gated communities have also been donating and showing up to the polls.

But the political environment is much more challenging than it was four years ago when it comes to young voters, whose moods are sour. While youth voters’ political views align with Biden and Democratic priorities more than ever: relative to spring 2019, fewer are likely to vote; few identify as Democrats…”-John Della Volpe, director of polling at Harvard’s Institute of Politics

Hell, some of them have a hard enough time identifying as a certain gender or even as humans. Now, the Democrats want these young, confused people to “identify” as Democrat? I suppose as long as they “identify” as such on Election Day, 2024, we’ll be free from an eternity of DeSantis damnation. Moving on…

There’s this big disconnect between a set of values that I believe align between the White House, the Democratic Party and younger people, but it’s being lost in translation. Those values aren’t being translated into support for Democrats.”-John Della Volpe

You think, John?

In truth, this disconnect has been around for years. Joe Biden’s presidency has made it ever-so-glaring. An old, white man with a mediocre career at best, who made millions on shady dealings with his son while holding government office. An angry, old man who can barely string together a sentence needs to make the fundraising deadline. Crusty Joe Biden and his campaign managers cannot do this without the help of Barack Obama. Barack Obama knows this. And, despite Obama’s candor when he mentioned Joe’s uncanny ability to screw things up beyond recognition, Barack Obama is willing to step in front of a camera and campaign for another four years of utter disaster. We’ve always known Obama hates this country and everything it stands for but this takes it all one step beyond.

The reason I’m optimistic is because I believe, particularly as I meet young people around the world, there is still a fundamental belief in dignity and worth of individuals and their agency and determining what their lives are like. I think that’s what young people want. But our existing democratic institutions are creaky, and we’re going to have to reform them.”-Barack Obama

Barack, the Messiah, to save the day and pull a second term out for decrepit, old Joe Biden! The Biden campaign knows they need the buy-in from more young people. They know young and old, alike, love Barack Obama. And, yes, this is where Obama comes in. Joe Biden cannot eek this election on his own merit and appeal. We will see more of Barack Obama in the days leading up to Election 2024.

After all, our “institutions are creaky”, he says, and they “must be reformed”. Translation: the Democrats are not done breaking stuff yet. Another four years of “creaky” Joe Biden-another four years of economic disaster, another four years of political division, another four years of utter incompetency, would ensure this breakage and make way for the “fundamental change” Barack Obama has always dreamed of. And, when (and if) Joe Biden takes a second term, Barack Obama will go back into retirement, quietly enjoying his-grift-I mean-never-ending vacation and shopping trips with Michelle but still lurking about in the shadows.

Some young would-be voters in 2024, to include my own child, are aware of this theatre but others will eat this up. So, I have this to say to our potential young voters who may fall for the Obama trick: remember your nasty school lunches back in Kindergarten circa 2012. Then, remember how you lost out on almost two years of your education, time playing sports and with friends circa 2020. Remember your peers who committed suicide and had mental hardships they have never bounced back from. They told you to mask-up, to stay away from everyone, to stay home, “save lives”. You lost time, friendships, your self-confidence. You fell behind on your academics. Remember what they, the Democrats, took away from you and did to you. Open your eyes. Look at your confused state now. Look at the volatility and instability your future holds. And if you want more of this, by all means, listen to Barack Obama and vote for Joe Biden in 2024. And one more thing. Realize this: Barack Obama does not give a sh*t about you or this country. He never did; he never will.
