With Michelle Obama busy recording her disastrous podcast with her brother, Barack Obama looks like a man without a purpose \u2014 drifting between mansions, jetting off on luxury trips with his wealthy friends, or cashing in on the speaking circuit. The glow of being the \u201cfirst Black president\u201d and the champion of \u201cfundamental transformation\u201d wore off years ago, especially after he hitched his wagon to Kamala Harris\u2019s doomed presidential run.<\/p>\n
Now, with Michelle\u2019s own revelations \u2014 that she hated her time in the White House, that she doesn\u2019t really enjoy her kids, and maybe doesn\u2019t even like Barack \u2014 the shine isn\u2019t just gone. What\u2019s left looks more like decay beneath the surface.<\/p>\n
Barack Obama still seems convinced that his words carry weight \u2014 but they don\u2019t. The proof? Like so many politicians past their prime, he delivered another round of fact-free, inflammatory remarks overseas, this time in the United Kingdom. Funny how Obama and his allies prefer to criticize America on foreign soil, far from the voters they once claimed to represent.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, at his \u201cAn Evening with Barack Obama\u201d event in London\u2019s O2 Arena, the former president decided to pontificate on President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy\u2019s autism initiative.<\/p>\n
What followed was less eloquence than empty rhetoric \u2014 the latest reminder of how little relevance he actually has left:<\/p>\n
We have the spectacle of my successor in the Oval Office, making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproved. And\u2026 the.. the degree to which\u2026 uh, that undermines public health. The degree to which that can do harm to women who are pregnant. The degree to which that creates anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic.<\/p>\n
Which, by the way, itself, is subject to a spectrum, and a lot of what is being trumpeted as these massive increases actually have to do with a broadening of the criteria across that spectrum so that people can get services and help. All of that is violence against the truth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
