When disaster hits, security isn't optional.
If there's anything that America hates, it is a fraud.
It's a lie.
And the Obama illusion is no different how America was sold a fairy tale that's now falling apart.
And we know it, and you know it, and I know it.
You know, for years, Barack and Michelle Obama were the golden couple of the Democratic Party, sold to the world as the embodiment of success and charisma and political brilliance.
But as time passes, the shine fades and what's left behind is a crumbling illusion.
A fraudulent marriage, a botched legacy, and a presidency built more on style than substance.
Obama was never the once-in-a-generation political genius the media made him out to be.
Oh, no, no.
In fact, his presidency was a series of failures wrapped up in glittery, glossy PR campaigns.
And his so-called influence in today's political climate is nothing more than a shadow desperately clinging to relevance.
As for Michelle, Don't get me started.
She spent her entire public life trying to be Oprah, but will never quite escape the label of a second-rate political spouse who lucked into the limelight.
The marriage.
The marriage.
That's a publicity stunt.
For years, rumors have swirled about the true nature of Barack and Michelle's relationship.
You know it.
I know it.
We all know it.
Are they truly the loving power couple they portray in magazine covers and Netflix specials?
Or is their marriage just another carefully constructive narrative designed to maintain their public image?
Yes!
Their chemistry has always felt more like a scripted TV romance than a genuine relationship.
And the lies they may or must be covering up is incredible.
And you know, many observers have noted that their interactions often seem forced and staged and artificial and plastic, routinized.
Unlike other political couples who, despite ideological differences, share genuine warmth, the Obamas frequently appear to be business partners rather than life partners.
We can tell.
We're adults.
Michelle's post-White House career has been...
Instead of standing beside Barack in political battles, she's tried to forge an independent brand, one that mimics Oprah Winfrey's empire, but without the same mass appeal.
From her best-selling memoirs that nobody read to her cooking and wellness ventures, Michelle seems far more interested in marketing herself than standing by the political legacy of her husband.
Which is fine.
Which is fine.
But the question remains, if she truly believed in what Barack built, why is she so eager to distance herself from it?
Maybe the gig's up.
Maybe she's finally realizing, I'm going to be me.
I gotta be me.
I think Sammy Davis Jr. said it best.
But anyway.
Obama's presidency was a series of failures.
Look, strip away the media praise and what's left of the Obama presidency.
What?
A weakened America, economic struggles, a foreign policy that emboldened America's enemies, and a domestic agenda that left everyday Americans worse off than before.
Let me break down this mess for you, okay?
First of all, let's talk about the economy.
Smoke and mirrors, okay?
Obama inherited a financial crisis, but his administration's response did little to actually solve America's long-term economic issues.
The so-called economic recovery was sluggish, dependent on ballooning national debt and weak job growth.
For all his talk of hope and change, he left office with a record number of Americans on food stamps, listen to me, and a stagnant middle class.
Still struggling to afford basic necessities.
You never hear about that, do you?
Then there was Obamacare.
A disaster from day one.
His signature achievement, the Affordable Care Act.
ACA was a disaster from its inception.
Promises that you can keep your doctor turned out to be blatant lies.
Premium skyrocketed.
Healthcare choices dwindled.
And Americans were forced.
Into plans they neither wanted or could afford?
Even Democrats have largely abandoned defending Obamacare, acknowledging once and for all that it did more harm than good.
It was written by the insurance agency, our insurance industry.
Kabam!
And foreign policy?
Embarrassment on the world stage.
The Obama doctrine was essentially apologize for America and bow to foreign powers.
His administration let China expand its influence unchecked, botch the withdrawal from Iraq, and let ISIS gain ground.
He emboldened Iran, as people are saying now, with a ridiculous nuclear deal that handed billions to a rogue regime.
His so-called red line in Syria was a joke signaling to enemies around that America under Obama was weak and indecisive.
Thank God for President Trump now.
And race relations, oh dear God, device of not healing, despite being elected as the first black president, a historic moment that should have united the country, Obama's presidency often deepened racial divisions.
He played identity politics, siding against law enforcement, and encouraging resentment, and fueling, fueling movements that painted America as Irredeemably racist.
Instead of fostering unity, he capitalized on division, leaving the country more polarized than ever.
How do you like that so far, huh?
And the Biden disaster?
Oh my God!
Obama's biggest failure.
If Obama had any real political influence, he would have been able to shape a successor who carried on his legacy.
Instead, his biggest political project.
Propping up Joe Biden turned out into a complete disaster.
Biden's presidency, arguably the worst in modern history, has been nothing but inflation, international embarrassment, and open borders.
And guess what?
Guess what?
Obama backed him wholeheartedly, 100%, proving just how flawed his judgment really is.
Obama had, listen, this is the most important, Obama had every opportunity to stop Biden from running, to push a different candidate forward.
But he stood by too arrogant or too detached or too stupid to prevent what we now know was an inevitable train wreck.
As the Biden administration crumbles, so does any illusion of Obama's political foresight.
And you know what?
The once revered political star is now a little more than a fallen icon.
Unable to guide, I guess, this party out of chaos.
And then there's Michelle and her Oprah delusion.
While Barack Obama fails and flails in political relevance, Michelle O. Winfrey, I mean Obama, has been trying to carve out her own cultural empire.
The problem?
She's just not that interesting.
Sure, she's got a fan base among suburban liberals and corporate media elites.
But she lacks the charisma, the wisdom, and relatability that made Oprah Winfrey a true American success story.
Michelle's post-White House career consists of book deals that nobody reads.
You know what these are.
These are payoffs.
These are back-end deals.
Netflix projects that feel more like self-indulgent vanity projects than meaningful contributions to public discourse and all that crap.
She wants the fame.
She wants the influence.
She wants the adoration.
But without the talent, without the effort or originality to actually earn it, her insistence that she has no interest in running for office is laughable.
If she saw a realistic path to power, she would take it in a heartbeat.
But even Democrats know that her appeal is limited and she would never, ever withstand real political scrutiny.
She doesn't have it!
Look, the myth has crumbled.
The truth is, Obama was a media-created fantasy, a candidate carefully crafted to appear as the perfect leader for a progressive America.
He was always more of an image than a reality, a polished speechmaker who never had the backbone or the competence to actually deliver on his promises.
And Michelle?
Oh, God.
Just another self-important elite trying to extend her 15 minutes of fame beyond its expiration date.
That is exactly what it is.
And was.
And as the Democratic Party scrambles to recover still from Biden's catastrophic presidency and Trump is triumphant, Obama's influence has all but evaporated.
The myth of his brilliance is no longer enough to carry the weight.
The idea that he was some kind of unifying figure has been exposed as a lie.
And with Michelle floundering about in her attempt to be a cultural icon, the entire Obama brand is over.
Done.
The Trump factor, a stark contrast if I've ever seen one, compare this mess to Donald Trump.
Love him or hate him.
Trump actually got and gets things done.
He cut taxes, secured the border, strengthened the economy, made America energy dependence, doing it right now, 50 days into it, and prioritizes law and order.
He didn't bow to foreign dictators, won't do it, and won't sell Americans empty platitudes.
He delivers real results.
Obama's presidency was about appearances, veneer, looks.
Trump's is about action.
That's why Obama is fading into irrelevance, while Donald Trump's movement continues to shape American politics into the future.
And we love him.
The bottom line is this, my friends.
Obama is over, and nobody cares.
It's done.
It's like Rosie O'Donnell.
History will remember Obama not as a transformational leader, but as a media-manufactured celebrity whose presidency failed to deliver on its lofty promises.
The Democratic Party has already moved past him.
His legacy contaminated, tarnished by Biden's disasters and failures and his own political missteps.
And Michelle?
She'll continue selling books, maybe, and pretending to be a lifestyle guru or doing podcasts with her brother.
Who knows?
But she'll never be Oprah, never be president, and never be a truly influential figure in American life.
The Obama era, listen to me, is over.
The myth is shattered.
And for most Americans, that's just fine.
