Trump better take advantage of Obama’s underwhelming return

With Hillary Clinton already part of the midterm scrum, Barack Obama’s entry last Friday shows the old band is getting back together again. So far, the music is uninspiring.
Clinton, as usual, is all about the money. Her latest slush fund, ÂOperation Together, sent an Âe-mail offering donors a “Resist†sticker if they send her $5. I was able to resist the offer.
Obama, meanwhile, gave his first campaign speech since leaving the White House and his Âmedia handmaidens instantly swooned like giddy teenagers.
Twitter promoted it as a “candid speech,†which is accurate only if you think Obama is an honest politician. Twitter’s bias is showing again.
It’s true there were some clever and cutting lines about Trump being divisive, but to appreciate them you had to forget Obama’s eight years in the Oval Office. Those without amnesia will recall that polls said Americans thought the nation was more divided when he left than when he started, Âincluding along racial lines.
