I still remember Obama's campaign in 2008. Which was all about "Hope".
I loved it. I was hooked. If I'd been American surely I'd have voted for the man. Ditto in 2012.
Then, much later, much much later, I learned what he'd done about race relations in America. Which is to say: made them worse. In ways we measure, like with Gallup polls. That's what Larry Elder talks about above. Mainly the race thing. Which Obama measurably made worse. And did so not just then, but in the most recent election, by berating young Black men for not voting for Kamala. He did so in a way which really turned them off.
And made the world worse: like in going soft on Iran, on the idea that if you're nice to Iran, they'll be nice to you. Didn't happen. Instead led to what we got on October 7th -- mass murder and mass rape.
My wife was always suspicious of him. It took me a lot longer.
Although it's true that I was leery when I read his June 4th 2009 Cairo Speech to the Muslim world. Which was all about apology, making nice to Islam, and believing that if America did that, the Islamic world would return the favour. The did not. And still don't.
