Barack Obama, known for his eloquence and star power, has surprisingly taken on a more reserved role in the Democratic Party’s significant development this election cycle.
The politician has yet to talk about Kamala Harris since he shyly endorsed her in a brief video during an awkward conversation alongside Michelle Obama.
However, the former president has interesting thoughts on the unfolding political process. Talking to the media, a political source close to Obama, who spoke anonymously, claimed he is unhappy that President Joe Biden manipulated Democrats into accepting Kamala Harris as his replacement on the ticket.
Not mincing the former leader’s words, the insider revealed that he does not believe Harris is ready. According to the person in the know, Obama sees Harris as an incompetent vice president who failed the American people by mishandling her main job — fixing the border.
The source told the New York Post: “Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win. Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her. When you run for president, there are things you can and can’t say.”
Barack Obama is already making a bold prediction for the upcoming debate between Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump — it will be a catastrophe for the Democrats.
The great orator Obama believes that Harris cannot articulate herself well. The former senator from Illinois thinks Harris will put her foot in her mouth.
The person stated: “Wait until the debate … She can’t debate. She’s going to put her foot in her mouth about Israel, Palestine, and Ukraine. She’s going to say something really stupid. Obama knew this was going to happen; Joe knew this was going to happen. Now she is going to have to answer real questions.”
This news might delight Trump, who has been rambling in press conferences and interviews since Harris became the nominee.
Do not expect a full-throttled endorsement of Harris from Obama. He is unhappy that Biden outmaneuvered the party and placed Harris on the ticket.
To clarify, Obama and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi did not wantthat plan. Obama’s opportunity to play kingmaker has been brilliantly eliminated by Biden’s chess move.
The insider claimed:”Obama is furious that things haven’t gone his way, which is why he is not joining in the Democratic Party’s support of Harris.”
Another well-placed Democratic source concluded by: “Obama being surprised by a smart political decision makes sense when coupled with his inability to see politics beyond his singular, immediate interests. Obama always thinks he is the smartest and coolest guy in the room. He’s friends with George Clooney, after all.”
These fascinating revelations will lead to awkward moments during the upcoming Democratic convention in Illinois.
