“More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing,” Obama said during a virtual commencement …

“These aren’t normal times. You’re being asked to find your way in a world in the middle of a devastating pandemic and a terrible recession. The timing is not ideal,” Obama said. “And let’s be honest — a disease like this just spotlights the underlying inequalities and extra burdens that black communities have historically had to deal with in this country.

“Injustice like this isn’t new. What is new is that so much of your generation has woken up to the fact that the status quo needs fixing; that the old ways of doing things don’t work; and that it doesn’t matter how much money you make if everyone around you is hungry and sick; that our society and democracy only works when we think not just about ourselves, but about each other,” Obama said.

“More than anything, this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing. A lot of them aren’t even pretending to be in charge,” Obama said.

Sad!

brooklynmutt Look at his face. The face of defeat.

Save African American children from abortion genocide.

does that go for the other countries too, in the same situation, that they are not pretending either?

true to form obama sows more seeds of divisiveness...

Obamagate Obama holds the esteemed title of being the first US President to spy on the opposition candidate during an election and his predecessor during the peaceful transition of power and behind a coup d'etat to overthrow a duly elected president.

Yes, and an excellent choice for VP would be Whitmer. 🤣 The disconnect is mind boggling.

Meanwhile Demented Joe called him a racist for wanting to limit new cases into the US. Pelosi was inviting people to Chinatown instead of social distancing, and now Liberal Governors are in complete violation of the 1st amendment. But yea, the future looks bright for your party

ObamaGate

ObamaGate

ObamaGate

He was Pretending To Be in Charge Signing The Treasonous Obama Iran Nuclear Treason Deal, 250,000,000,000 Billion $Large Payed to Fund Terror in The Middle East! What was his Take on The Money?

brooklynmutt President Obama was right. In every way. In every way trump differed responsibility & Control to the States, when America needed him most. In every instance, he refused to act. We are so fuxked

CRIMINAL

I don't care what other people think! I wish you were in control of this country.

Y'know this is the same cretin who refused to act on Swine Flu 2009 until tens of thousands had already been hospitalized, right? And more than a 1000 in USA dead, right? Right? You guys are such cowards and illiterates in history, civics, and basic human decency.

What a piece of sht..

You aren't in charge and shouldn't have been for eight years. Look at the lawlessness you did all that time.

OBAMA is a lying loser- just like the writers Rollingstone you all lied for years & years. Obama should go to jail for all his lies/theft of tax payer money & for the fact that his presidency was all a lie... KenyanBorn falsegod of the left

Yawn, Obama is a snake. People are weak minded, it only took two months for the government to Convinced with fear that they willingly gave up their jobs, stayed home can’t pay their bills waiting for a government check and they think this is OK. Wake up People to compliant

Yes BarackObama , the Spyer in Chief, has all the sudden come out of the woodwork to criticize Trump once his corrupt and dirty use of the DOJ as his own personal Stasi has been exposed. ObamaGate

😂 of course Obama blames Trump

What does this guy know about leadership? Exit polls on Election day 2016 showed that 80% of people thought this country was on the wrong track & needed a change. Hate to break it to Obama & his followers but there is more to leadership than sounding 'inspirational' in a speech.

Like Obama was in charge giving in to the Iranians? Like he was in charge giving in to the Syrians? The list goes on...

There is a whole lot of senciere boysh charm in that picture. It carries with it the soul of a man that carried the world on his shoulder. Bare hands, bones and feet. As not to falter the sick or the restless

I’m guessing you failed to mention BarackObama that he is NO LONGER IN CHARGE and to stop pretending like he is?! realDonaldTrump can you say ObamaGate a little louder for the ones in the back?! DrainTheSwamp WeSeeYou

Obama is a liar and lawbreaker. You don't spy on America citizens.

Obama King Of America 2024 & forever

Voilà comment le pouvoir peut rendre une personne ! . Je ne vois pas la un homme heureux....

He’s deflecting from Obamacare

Obama needs to get some Fuckin where 🤔 small business suffered under this Muslim

Not a real fan of any president’s politics, but Trump is the most corrupt, incompetent fraud to ever hold the office. The slime of humanity. realDonaldTrump

O M G We miss Obama ! ! ! !

Now THAT’S an orator. Not talking about some “super duper” graduation. But someone who speaks in full coherent sentences with a message. Thank you BarackObama for taking us back to a time when leaders could lead. TrumpIsAnIdiot TrumpIsALaughingStock

President Trump has done a great job handling this situation. Unlike your N1H1. You fired the flames of racism and hatred for police and white people. All while you proclaimed Muslims. obamagate

John Brennan calls Trump targeting Obama era officials an ‘abominable abuse of authority’The president’s acting Director of National Intelligence declassified a list of Obama era officials who pointed out that Michael Flynn was having conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. National Security experts say it’s an effort on the Trump Administration's part to shift the narrative on the Russia investigation. Former CIA Director John Brennan says the United States is in ‘very serious trouble when you have such blatant political corruption at the highest levels of government.’ Brennan went on to say, “I’m just hoping that individuals like Chris Wray, who is a remarkable public servant, will stay strong in the face of abominable abuse of authority.'
