'Our democracy is at stake,' Obama says on Virginia campaign trail
'Our democracy is at stake,' Obama says on Virginia campaign trail

RICHMOND, Va. — “It is time.”

Ralph Northam, the Democratic candidate for governor, finished his own speech, said those words, and the crowd of more than 7,000 erupted. Then U2’s “City of Blinding Lights” from all the way back in the 2008 campaign started playing, and Barack Obama made his return to the campaign trail here Thursday night.

Fresh from New Jersey after making an appearance for the Democratic gubernatorial candidate there, Phil Murphy, his own former ambassador to Germany, Obama uncorked. He argued that this year’s elections are an existential moment that should — if Democrats do what he’s kept telling them to do, without much success — vote — be the start of reasserting an American politics and society that turns away from what’s embodied by President Donald Trump.

“We need you to take this seriously. Our democracy is at stake,” Obama said. “Elections matter. Voting matters. You can’t take anything for granted. You can’t sit this one out. It’s up to you. And if you believe in that better vision not just of our politics, but of our common life, of our democracy, of who we are; if you want that reflected in our government, if you want our kids to see our government and feel good about it, and feel like they’re represented and if you want those values that you are teaching your children reinforced … then you’ve got to go out there.”

As former President George W. Bush did earlier Thursday in a surprisingly forward speech in New York, Obama kept to not mentioning Trump’s name, but left no question who he was talking about.

“Folks don’t feel good right now about what they see. Maybe they don’t feel as if our public life reflects our best,” Obama said. “Instead of our politics reflecting our values, we’ve got politics infecting our communities. Instead of looking for ways to work together and get things done in a practical way, we’ve got folks who are deliberately trying to make folks angry, to demonize people who have different ideas, to get the base all riled up because it provides a short-term tactical advantage.”

Obama's speeches suck because he uses complete sentences and multisyllabic words.

"Obama calls on Americans to reject 'politics of fear' in return to campaign trail"

Washington (CNN)Former President Barack Obama returned the campaign trail Thursday with a warning about the current state of politics in America.
"Some of the politics we see now, we thought we'd put that to bed. I mean, that's folks looking 50 years back. It's the 21st century, not the 19th century," Obama said during a rally in New Jersey, where he was campaigning for Phil Murphy, the Democratic candidate for governor there.
"We are rejecting a politics of division. We are rejecting a politics of fear," Obama continued. "We are embracing a politics that says everybody counts, a politics that says everybody deserves a chance, a politics that says everybody has dignity and worth -- a politics of hope."

Yes lets repeat the words he "says" even though he doesn't write his own speeches - he is such a great ACTOR he should be revered.

The old divider in chief stirring the shit again- wants to head the DNC after that take Hillary down.

They will focus all on her to save him - even though she served under HIS ADMINISTRATION

All liberals refer to America as a democracy. That's because they want to be dictators. A democracy is one step away from a dictatorship.

Eventually democracies become dictatorships.

And is continuing to destroy this Democracy. In a democracy, everyone agrees to accept the results of an election, and the Democrap/communists refuse to accept the results of the 2016 election. That's a fact.
Communism is for LOSERS

Funny and sad that you know how our country works better than the majority of our "currently living" past presidents.

"Every day more information is coming out on the Uranium One deal that leads to more and more questions concerning the corruption in the Justice Department and Obama Administration. The US gave 20% of its uranium to the nation Democrats describe as America’s number one enemy – Russia."
