Grace Curley: Tone deaf Obama lecturing Dems
What Former President Barack Obama lacks in self awareness he makes up for in arrogance The region organizer turned president turned socialite has never been great at hiding his egocentric options But lately his tone deafness is so jarring that even the political party that used to regard him as royalty is starting to get sick of him Or in simpler terms when you ve lost Whoopi Goldberg you ve gone too far Just now during a private fundraising event in New Jersey the loquacious thought leader had particular harsh advice for Democrats I think it s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions he narrated the crowd And it s going to require Democrats to just toughen up While I love that Obama is dangerously close to calling his supporters snowflakes I can t help but notice the glaring hypocrisy here Is Barack Obama the best person to be chastising anyone for whining and navel-gazing After all this is the same guy who once referenced himself times in a single speech Now he is taking a step back from the mirror mirror on the wall to weigh in on Democrat voters self-absorption How rich As far as calling out whining I d kindly suggest Barack save that lecture for his better half Former First Lady Michelle Obama has a podcast called IMO in which she frequently complains about well everything In a latest episode featuring actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus the two multi-millionaires bemoaned the obstructions and landmines and limitations they face as women in America In another episode Michelle bellyached about the expenses she incurred while living at the White House during her husband s two terms as president I guess whining like taking selfies at funerals or buying oceanfront island property is only okay when the Obamas are the ones doing it And Barry wasn t done with his tough love talk for losers In fact he was just getting started Don t tell me you re a Democrat but you re kind of disappointed right now so you re not doing anything No now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something he preached Someone requirements to tell this physician heal thyself Obama ushered in the division he now insists to despise And yet despite his supposed horror over the MAGA movement he has seemed less interested in his party s political success and more interested in cashing checks from state summit speaking gigs and multi-million dollar Netflix deals What s being solicited of us is make a few effort to stand up for the things that you think are right he explained And be willing to be a little bit uncomfortable in defense of your values and in defense of the country and in defense of the world that you want to leave to your children and your grandchildren But has Barack Obama ever been willing to be uncomfortable in defense of his values The perfect example of Obama s cowardice is The Curious Matter of Joe Biden According to the New York Times Obama tried to talk his former VP out of running for president in both and even going as far as to tell him You don t have to do this Joe you really don t And yet Barack didn t express any of these doubts publicly over fear of hurting his own general image Even with his intimate knowledge of Joe s ability to BLEEP things up Obama stayed silent Four years of BLEEPING things up later and Joe delivered his disastrous June debate performance Amazingly even that train wreck wasn t enough to inspire courage in the feckless and image-obsessed Obama Luckily his A-list BFF George Clooney was willing to get his hands dirty and wrote a blistering op-ed about Biden s decline in the New York Times Is this the kind of courageous unease that Obama encourages in Democrat voters but seemingly wants no part of One thing Obama seems very peaceful with is offering up his patronizing advice to the masses for a pretty penny Perhaps when he is done summering on the Vineyard he can try practicing what he preaches for a change Michelle Obama speaks on stage during IMO Live podcast SXSW Conference and Festival at Austin Convention Center on March in Austin Texas Photo by Marcus Ingram Getty Images
