‘You Want Him In Your Corner’: Obama Holds First Event Back On The Campaign Trail | Deadline | MSNBC

That's our President -- President Barack Obama! I just watched his whole speech for a drive-in rally earlier. How refreshing and intellectually delivered.

[brothertaro]

"I never thought Donald Trump would embrace my vision or continue my polices, but I did hope for the sake of the country that he might show some interest in taking the job seriously. But it hasn't happened. He hasn't showed any interest in doing the work or helping anybody but himself and his friends." -- Barack Obama, telling it like it is

[cortright]

Thanks PRESIDENT OBAMA. I hope that everyone listens and VOTES FOR BIDEN-HARRIS. WE NEED TO GET OUR COUNTRY, REPUTATION AND ALLIES BACK. DO NOT TRUST ANY OF THE POLLS. VOTE. Stay safe and stay well. Thanks.

[luzmentos]

A president that touch the heart of people of any status. This is the kind of President we want. Humility is part of leadership.

[sharongreen]

I’m impressed that he didn’t include anything about trump in his pitch. We know the contrast between trump and Biden. Obama spanks trump just by being so much more profound than he is. Intelligence, empathy, honor, compassion.

[brothertaro]

"Listen, can you imagine if I had had a secret Chinese bank account when I was running for reelection?" Obama asked. "You think Fox 'News' might have been a little concerned about that?"

[lorioestreich]

I love the Obama’s. President Obama will definitely help Biden/Harris campaign. Go Biden/Harris!!!Vote Blue!!!

[Lanternsinthesky-studios]

Don't take anything for granted. Make sure you VOTE!

[DDozer]

Be an American and vote for Biden and Harris.
✌🇺🇸💙🌊🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️🇺🇸✌
2020

[annpringle]

I knew i was voting for Biden because of he's experience and how he cares about All people!
I still miss Obama !!!

[jayd]

Words can’t describe how much I miss you, President Obama.

[suomynona]

Remember when presidents were sane... good times. Let's bring them back.

[allenyoroichi]

Every republican president has given a recession but this takes the cake 🤕

When will Americans learn ...

[nataletorres]

Thanks Mr president Obama, we need a leader like you We are hurting right now we need a new president. Going back to same thing Please get this fool out of this fight trump

[stevejones]

I forgot that someone from government can actually speak like this.

[hyperboi]

Wait what, she had to be convinced by her son to vote for the first black president? Wow the youth are the future afterall

[jonathans]

I have never seen a past Republican president endorse djT?

[shanabrown]

Vote in person, if you can...especially in the battleground states. We don't need the courts to determine the next President AGAIN!!

[grahamturner]

A president who is a man of integrity. Seems like a age since we've experienced such a thing....

[quietwyatt]

_NOTE! This is an old style broadside not a “Tweet”. As this is not Twitter. If it’s too much for you to handle, move on. But If you are deeply appalled by what’s happening in this Country, read on._

*VOTE! BECAUSE WE STILL CAN!*
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
_A Broadside_

*WE HONOR AND CHERISH* the memory, the courage, and the spirit of those Americans who suffered and fought and died whether willingly or unwillingly in the name of our Nation: on the battlefields, on the cotton fields, on the Great Plains and the River Valleys, and those Americans who are today being assaulted, beaten, shot and murdered by unrepentant and undeniably racist police forces befitting a fascist regime, and those Americans who daily fill our hospitals fighting a novel virus, contagious and deadly. But if we wish to make this claim of honor true, first we must honor Truth itself; for, Truth is the only thing that cannot be overcome. *AND TRUTH IS NOW TELLING US WHAT MUST BE DONE!*

*REGRETFULLY, IN THE LIGHT OF REASONABLE AND SOUND REFLECTION upon:*

👉 *His* fluency of falsehoods,
👉 *His* fear of criticism and responsibility,
👉 *His* insistence on taking credit where credit is not due,
👉 *His* deficit of emotion-regulation resulting in juvenile displays, personal attacks and insults unbecoming an adult,
👉 *His* incumbency and his bid for reelection being void of any plan, agenda, mandate, message, or ideas,
👉 *His* open threat to decline a peaceful transfer of power should he lose his bid for reelection,
👉 *His* inability to maintain discretion on social media _and_
👉 *His* increasingly odious and unstatesmanlike behavior that indicates a pathologically unstable personality such that:
*President Donald Trump has indisputably forfeited the trust and the confidence of those government confrères in his charge that procure sensitive and secret knowledge of matters affecting national security they cannot in good confidence share with him — their President and Commander-in-Chief!*

*THIS SITUATION* is unworkable, and gives rise to threats both domestic and foreign to the United States. *WE CANNOT AFFORD THE LUXURY OF BEING AFRAID!* Our moment, described as an “Inflection Point”, has come calling and in this election year of 2020, we have something to do — Let this be _OUR_ remedy!

*OUR NATION* imperfect, ever learning and self-correcting, possesses the keys to enjoy “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Nevertheless there come, from time to time, challenges to this ideal that require remediation. In these times we shall insist that our citizenship be recognized and counted, uncontested!

*AMERICA WILL NOT BE DISGRACED ANY LONGER!*

*The case against the President is prima facie inasmuch as:*

👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been derelict in his duties,
👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has undermined The Constitution of the United States,
👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has committed acts of human cruelty at our Nation’s southern border - potentially to include crimes against humanity,
👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been impeached,
👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been found and confirmed as having lied to the American people about the true nature of the seriousness of COVID-19,
👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has not achieved any tangible act toward the betterment of the Nation,
👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has withheld information he is required by law to produce,
👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has verbally insulted our Servicemen and Servicewomen in our Nation’s military – calling them “suckers”,
👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has been curiously evasive amid investigations persuant to the nature of his relationship with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin,
👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has openly encouraged extreme street violence at the level of complicity,
👉 *THIS PRESIDENT* has perverted the utility of America’s federal defense and peace-keeping forces by turning them against America herself!

_This list of offenses, while not exhaustive, provides more than enough cause to pursue criminal charges!_

*ALL OF THE ABOVE IS CLEAR, IS OBVIOUS, AND IS TRUE! AS WELL, IT IS KNOWN TO BE TRUE BY ALL BRANCHES OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, BY THE FBI, BY THE UNITED STATES MILITARY, et al; AND BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION!*

*FOR PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT QUALIFIED! ON THE CONTRARY, HE IS A MENACE TO THE PEACE!*

*THEREFORE:*
*IN ORDER TO RENDER THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FAMILIAR AND PLEASANT TO THE PEOPLE RATHER THAN TERRIBLE AND UNRECOGNIZABLE*

*WE SHALL* lawfully heed any required safety measures due to COVID-19 without protest or complaint to include wearing face coverings, gloves, and practicing social distancing.

*AND IN RETURN*
*WE SHALL NOT* tolerate any barriers, threats, obstructions, hindrances or intrigues of any kind by any party whether from inside the United States or abroad by design or effect that suppresses, deters, delays, denies, manipulates, interrupts, or otherwise alters *OUR CIVIL RIGHT AND OUR CIVIC DUTY TO CAST OUR VOTE, INVIOLATE, AS IT IS GUARANTEED BY THE LAW OF THE LAND — ON OR BEFORE ELECTION DAY — TO REMOVE AND REPLACE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION IN THE NAME OF TRUTH, FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE, AND TO RESTORE THE PEACE!*
