Reagan was a much better Republican compared to the newer crop we have in 2024, even though his Reaganomics system was a little flawed. Were you and your father both Reagan supporters at the time?
I like old-timey politics, which is one of more finesse, instead of trying to cram the evening news with propaganda. Obama was one of the last major somewhat old-timey politicians in our country, and he spoke with eloquence.
True, cos a lot of folks' patience has decreased since the dawn of instant media. But, patience is a virtue, and it is perfectly okay to wait 6 days.
Especially when you are negotiating with those who's support you are wanting. A lot of support came quickly, within 24 hours. There wasn't any reason for rhe Obamas not to throw Harris their support quickly. Except they dont like her. So there were negotiations to be had. I think Kelly was the key. I guess we'll see what happens. I could be completely wrong here.
[Read in David Attenborough voice] One may never know what runs through a politician's head and who these politicians may endorse is up in the air, as political figures are of a deeply, complex breed of humans. On the left we have politicians pushing strange doctrines onto the populous, while on the right we have individuals who have grown far from what the original GOP of Abraham Lincoln wanted.
I'm pretty sure you're mistaken. Obama has always been cautious endorsing one Democratic candidate over another. Don't you remember back in 2020 how long he took to endorse his old running mate? And they were/are genuine friends, not just political buddies.
No they weren't. They didn't like each other. Obama chose Biden because he thought he needed an older white guy. He thought America was such a racist country that two "exotics" wouldn't get elected.
Yes, they were friends. He may have chosen Biden for the reasons you mentioned or not - I heard that Biden’s foreign policy experience and good Senate relationships were key - they were nonetheless friends for realsies.
The democratic machine made the decision to install Harris ... rather than allowing democratic voters to vote for the nominee of their choice.It took 6 days but Obama finally endorsed Harris. I don't think the Obamas liked Harris very much. They wanted someone else. But they finally did in an obviously staged awkward phone call.
I wonder what they are getting in return. Could it be they get their guy in the Vice-President role?
Barack and Michelle Obama endorse Kamala Harris: 'This is going to be historic.'
The Obamas made history themselves 16 years ago when Barack Obama became the first person of color to be elected president of the United States.www.usatoday.com
