President Joe Biden will unveil the portraits of former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama. He will celebrate his longtime friendship with the 44th President of the United States.
Washed Up 45 held a longstanding feud with the Obamas. Since Obama declared his intentions to run for president, he was attacked for his religion, his race, his hometown, his birthplace and being called either a terrorist, a communist, an elitist and socialist by agitators. He was called a Nigger and monkey by white nationalists and enablers of white supremacy.
Obama probably got lots of death threats just for the very fact he was the president.
Washed Up 45 enabled the birther conspiracies and pushed for John McCain and Mitt Romney to use the Old Fart Limbaugh and Karen "Softball" Hannity strategy of labeling an opponent as an enemy.
Washed Up 45 even teased at a run in 2012. He backed out knowing that the death of Osama bin Laden matter sealed Obama's second term.
We all thought the former reality television star's presidential run as a joke.
We thought wrong. He ended up becoming the 45th President of the United States defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton, a well known former first lady, U.S. Senator and 2008 and 2016 Democratic candidate was defeated due to a campaign of misinformation and relentless attacks.
Obama warned Clinton that the Russians were trying to push Washed Up 45 and Bernie Sanders. The Wikileaks dumps and a handful of issues doomed Clinton and Tim Kaine.
When Biden ran for president, Clinton and Obama warned him to not concede and ignore the noise. They also said let Washed Up 45 dig his own grave.
The 46th President of the United States and 49th Vice President of the United States are products of a Barack Obama legacy.
For years, me and Le Reyna have covered the Obama presidency as well as the rise of Kamala Harris.
Kamala's rise from California state attorney general to U.S. Senator and now the Vice President in less than 10 years shows the power of women of color.
Michelle Obama was considered one of the most popular first ladies in modern history. She will be ranked high among Jacqueline Kennedy, Nancy Reagan, Betty Ford, Eleanor Roosevelt and Mary Todd Lincoln.
She brought style, compassion and moves. Michelle Obama raised two beautiful daughters and led the way for African American woman.
The reveling will be held likely in August around Obama's 60th birthday.
Obama also addressed the Republicans, Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) and Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV).
Obama on Monday called the filibuster a "tool for obstruction" and urged Republican senators not to use it to block a key vote on the For the People Act voting rights bill this week.
"Republicans in the Senate are lining up to try to use the filibuster to stop the For the People Act from even being debated," Obama said during a tele-town hall with former Attorney General Eric Holder and grassroots activists about the bill, which Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will put to a procedural vote Tuesday to take up the measure. That motion is not expected to receive the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster and proceed to the bill.
"Think about this: In the aftermath of an insurrection, with our democracy on the line and many of the same Republican senators going along with the notion that somehow there were irregularities and problems with legitimacy in our most recent election, they're suddenly afraid to even talk about these issues and figure out a solution on the floor of the Senate," Obama said.
"That's not acceptable," he added.
Obama said the bill isn't perfect, but he touted several of its provisions, including one that would cut down on partisan gerrymandering. Allowing people in power to manipulate the boundaries of legislative districts had deepened the political divide in the country and made it "so that the incumbents can choose their voters, rather than the voters choosing their elected officials," he said.
The former president also pointed to provisions mandating early voting and increasing transparency on donations, and noted that Democratic senators have said they're open to compromises. The bill might undergo changes, but "we as a people should all say Senate, Congress, do something."
“Whatever else we may argue about, the one thing we should agree on the bedrock idea that we as Americans have been taught to take pride in, this is the fact that we’re a democracy,” Obama said.
“The issue of voting rights might not set off alarms for most of us,” but “the violence that occurred in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6th should remind us we can’t take our democracy for granted,” he said.
