“This would be funny if he weren’t running for Senate”
It is fasionable among glass-half-empty progressives to roll their eyes and drag Barack Obama whenever his name comes up. For what he didn’t do, for what he got only half of, or for the potential he didn’t live up to. The sourness is uninviting.
That is not one of Obama faults. Democrats have not had a better campaigner for decades. He always seems to be having fun. More fun than he had as president, perhaps. It’s catching. His crowds agree.
Last night in Georgia stumping for Sen. Raphael Warnock, Obama took some stinging shots at Herschel Walker. The crowd loved it. The internet too. Maybe Elon Musk’s “flaming port-a-potty dropped out of a helicopter” somewhat less.
“Can’t nobody hear you boo. But they can hear your vote.”
Obama: Mr. Walker has been talking about issues that are of great importance to the people of Georgia like if it’s better to be a vampire or a werewolf.. This is a debate that I must confess I once had myself.. when I was 7.
All policy and no play is not a recruiting formula. Obama himself admitted in October it is something at which he sometimes failed. “Not being a buzzkill” is good advice.
