It’s become increasingly apparent that top Democrats, including Obama, are having doubts about whether Harris was the best choice to replace lame-duck President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
While he’s playing it cool for the party’s future, Obama’s true feelings about Harris appear to be creeping out during campaign events, including one recently in North Carolina.
According to the Washington Examiner, Obama admitted during a recent stump speech for Harris that prices are “still too high” across the country,
However, he assured those in attendance that Harris has a plan for that, despite almost four years of failed policies and inaction on the issue.
Many took to social media to question why Harris couldn’t have done anything about it during her last nearly four years in the White House.
Obama tried to act as if he knows the pain of the average, working-class voter by admitting that prices for everything are still too high.
“Many folks here in North Carolina and across the country are struggling to pay the bills, and now understand — it’s important,” Obama admitted.
“Wages are steadily growing, unemployment is low, inflation is finally slowing, but the price of everything, from healthcare to housing groceries, it’s still too high, and that hurts.”
Obama then decided to go for the standard playbook for any Democrat candidate — blame Trump.
He also had the audacity to take credit for Trump’s economy, saying that it was only good because it was “my economy” that Trump inherited.
“Traveling around the country, I talked to some people,” Obama said.
“Some people say, ‘Well you know what? I remember the economy being pretty good when Donald Trump first came into office.’
“Yes, it was pretty good because it was my economy.”
Unfortunately, the people at the rally either don’t know any better or are so stricken with Trump Derangement Syndrome that they clapped and hollered after Obama’s remark.
After the former president attempted to steal credit for Trump’s economy, he promised those in attendance that Harris has a plan to get things back on track.
But of course, he failed to provide even a single detail.
He also didn’t mention why the vice president would allow Americans to suffer in the current economic climate while not doing anything to correct it.
“So if somebody tells you this election doesn’t matter, explain, no, it does matter,” Obama said.
“It makes a difference when you have a leader who sees you and cares about you and thinks about you.
“They don’t need to be perfect, but they need to try.”
Obama added, “If enough of us make our voices heard, we will leave no doubt about the outcome of this election, we will leave no doubt about who we are and what America stands for, and, together, we will keep building a country that’s more fair and more just and more equal and more free.”
Something tells us that Obama can’t wait to get off Harris’s campaign trail and back to the basketball court.
