But first: How to Identify a Narcissist
Barack Obama Reminds Americans Why He Was the King of “I” in DNC Speech
"From the start, Obama was up to his old tricks. Even while he wanted to use the Constitution to challenge Trump, he couldn’t praise it. Instead, he opened by describing it as an imperfect document that “allowed for the inhumanity of slavery and failed to guarantee women — and even men who didn’t own property — the right to participate in the political process.”
"Democrats aren’t progressive; they’re regressive. They draw power by telling the public that Democrats are the only thing standing between Americans and the Constitution as ratified in 1791 as if nothing has changed since then.
"Still, Obama conceded that the Constitution has some virtue. That’s why, said President Obama, who once boasted that “I’ve got a pen, and I’ve got a phone,” was shocked that Trump has never shown “some interest in taking the job seriously, that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care.” . . . Watch Obama's speech
.Obama accuses Trump of running US like ‘reality show’ in DNC speech . . . "Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) believe in “a fidelity to facts and science and logic, and not just making stuff up,” Obama said.
“ 'They believe that no one, including the president, is above the law — that no public official, including the president, should use their office to enrich themselves or their supporters,” Obama said." . . .
Obama Misses The Mark In Critique Of Trump . . . "Trump also helped people through measures he has taken in response to the Wuhan coronavirus. The federal push to produce ventilators, for example, must have saved lives. A number of governors, including Andrew Cuomo, praised Trump for his efforts.
"If Democrats want to argue that aspects of Trump’s response have been misguided and that his overall response has been inadequate, that’s fine. But to pretend he has no interest in helping to combat the virus is ridiculous.
"As for finding common ground, Trump has been at least as interested in this as Obama ever was. Trump found common ground with Democrats on sentencing reform. Even Van Jones applauded the administration for this.
"Trump also tried to find common ground with Dems on DACA reform. Recall his televised meeting with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle.
"Obama never showed interest in finding common ground with Republicans. Sure, many Republicans weren’t interested in working with Obama, just as many Democrats aren’t interested in working with Trump. However, Obama couldn’t even find common ground with Susan Collins on health insurance/care. He rammed through Obamacare without the support of a single GOP Senator." . . .
Barack Obama Reminds Americans Why He Was the King of “I” in DNC Speech
Because if Americans recall anything from Obama’s eight years in the White House, it’s this: Everything’s about the king of “I” — Barack Obama himself.Obama’s DNC speech was vicious, dishonest, and mostly about Obama . . . "Standing in a room in Philadelphia, with the words “Writing the Constitution” over his right shoulder, Obama gave a speech that almost wholly ignored Biden, whom he’d ostensibly come to praise. Instead, Obama viciously attacked Trump and did a constitutional rewrite that allowed him to cast Trump as a constitutional threat.
