A Leftist at my work, who desires Trump, said that he hoped things could be altered for Trump to stand for a third term. Then he would go up against Saint Obama and get beaten by the superior Black man, or at least half Black man (Obama's mother Ann Dunham (1942-1995) was white). But things have changed since the days of glory where people actually believed Obama's claim that he would solve the US race problem.
Stephen Paul Foster has a very good essay detailing why Obama could very well fail against Trump, for all the il-effects of the Biden administration were present with Obama. Trump's election in 2016 and 2024 was a revolt against this. History would be likely to repeat.

Donald Trump's return to the White House, four years after the collapse of his 2017-2021 Presidency and 2020 loss to Joe Biden, has to be one of the most astonishing political resurrections in American political history. Half of the country still appears to be in shock.
How did this happen? Racial politics made it happen, and the distinctively American feature of twenty-first century "racial politics" can be summed up with two African words – "Barack Obama." Think about it. The year was 2004. An unknown, 43-year-old Illinois state senator gave a twenty-minute speech at the 2004 National Democratic Convention that catapulted him to national attention. Four years and three months later he was President-Elect of the United States having defeated the powerful Clinton machine for the Democrat nomination and easily dispatching the well-known, "war hero"-Senator, John McCain, in the general election. The furor, the maidens swooning at his rallies, the cult-of-personality, the fawning mainstream media coverage that swirled around him in 2008 and lifted him above mere mortals and into the Oval Office, all of these, stemmed from one and one thing only – he was black.
Those who had not caught the contagion knew this, of course. But about black Americans, "permission" granted to whites to speak frankly about them is, shall we say, very limited, and without it, the penalties for violation can be very severe. One no less than the first woman Vice Presidential candidate (1984) Geraldine Ferraro was unceremoniously cast out of Hillary Clinton's 2008 primary-planning inner sanctum for stating what was painfully obvious to many of us – without permission.
From NPR:
[T]alking to NBC about the Obama campaign, which questioned a statement she made. [Geraldine] Ferraro said this week that Barack Obama would not be where he is today if he were white.
The doctrine of "the superior virtue of the oppressed" (SVO), the moral foundation of Karl Marx's "class struggle" philosophy of history had, post WWII, been insinuating its way deep into the way Americans were coming to think about their country's racial history. That way of thinking was a key element in "the Long March through the Institutions," a phrase coined by Italian, communist, Antonio Gramsci and promulgated by West German student radical, Rudi Dutschke in the 1960s.
By the early 2000s "the Long March" through American institutions had been long underway.
White America had been primed by the 1960s cultural revolution, the civil rights movement and the major opinion shaping institutions with the SVO doctrine. White guilt was sufficiently high as to make possible the political ascent to the highest office by a black man who would help America atone for its original sin of "racism." Of course, since white people were lacking in SVO (in fact, they were the cause of the 'O'), only a black man would do. Geraldine perhaps understood what was going on.
Yes, only a black man would do. But for white America to jump on board it had to be the right kind of black man, not the angry, black radical type of the 1960s like Eldridge Cleaver or a hectoring shyster like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson of the 1990s.
Barack Obama was the right kind of black man at the right time. At the beginning of his quest for the Presidency, Obama knew that … Hollywood and white lefties (wild enthusiasts of the SVO doctrine) would be smitten with him. However, he needed to pitch his act to those "white folks," in the middle who would like to take a chance with a black man who wasn't too black – wholesome, sophisticated, well-spoken, family man, Harvard graduate – who would, as no white person could do, bring racial healing to America. Finally, white America could be free of the guilt of racism. How do you spell "relief"? "O-b-a-m-a."
Obama's 2004 speech to the DNC convention was a setup, white America was the mark.
Yet even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America – there's the United States of America. There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America.
Reading the entirety of this speech given twenty years ago, one cannot but be deeply impressed by the utter cynicism and the cunning behind the drafting of it – probably with help from David Axelrod. To get elected Obama needed to convince white Americans that race relations could be fixed without punishing them, which meant dissimulating the emotionally charged racial resentment that fuelled his Marxist-tinged, black radicalism. The ample evidence of it from his autobiography and his long, association with Reverend Jeremiah Wright were ignored by the mainstream media. Obama knew what "white buttons" to push, and the speech was wildly successful.
With his election to the U.S. Senate in the Fall of 2004 he began planning his run for the Presidency in 2008 and polishing his Wunder-black, race-healer image. The charmless harridan, Hillary Clinton, discovered to her sorrow in the 2008 primary that young, black and rock-star billing trumped old, dumpy and been-there-done-that feminism. "First black President" had way more clout with the SVO votaries than "first woman…" With the soulless Hillary shoved out of the way, America was finally ready for its black savior. Feckless Republican, John McCain was just a road bump.
Here then to consider, if you will, is a "chain of events," (2008-2024) in which, with each link of the chain, racial politics would come to play a central role and change for the worse in the next link. The virulent racial politics that now plagues twenty-first century America is a race to the bottom. It was set in motion and perpetuated by Obama.
- (2008-2012) Obama the "race healer"
Euphoria swept over the country with outcome of the 2008 Presidential election. White America had elected a black man who would preside over the longed-for racial atonement. He was likened to JFK in charm and intellect and to FDR in political acumen. Such were the expectations for this colossus of Hope and Change that the Norwegians awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize less than a year after his inauguration. What actual "peace" he had achieved anywhere was a mystery. But being a black American President made him an object of unquestionable adoration, so no honor was too great to withhold.
- (2013-2016) "Racism in our DNA," Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, BLM creation
With Obama reelected for his second term, white America, discovered that the, "There's not a black America and white America … there's the United States of America" was a bait and switch; the 2004 "we're all in it together" shtick was ancient, forgotten history. There was in fact a "white America" that held a monopoly on the American promise, "white privilege," as it was called, and the "racism," that enforced that monopoly was, as the President put it, "in our DNA." By "our DNA" he meant white DNA. And, he took pains to point out: "We're not cured of it. Racism we are not cured of, clearly." Clearly, the "race healer" act was Obama's opening dog and pony show to fool white people until he and Michelle would park the Black Resentment Express in the White House Garage. When he left office in 2017, white America was still on the hook for "racism," with the "cure" sometime in the far future, administered exclusively by blacks who alone would get to say when and if it was working. In the meantime, let's break out a rousing chorus of "We Shall Overcome."
- (2016 election) "Racist" Presidential Candidate DT
With the 2016 election some white Americans had figured out that Obama was a fraud, a race-grievance man like Al Sharpton, just more sophisticated, less slimy. His tapped successor, Hillary Clinton was stupid enough to be upfront with the ruling class's contempt for the conservative "racist" white Americans who supported Trump, calling them "deplorable" and 'irredeemable."
Donald Trump was the Presidential candidate that represented white voters' "Obama buyer's remorse," which put him in the pantheon of the "racist" Gods, joining Hitler and Associates. He has remained there ever since.
- (2017-2020) "Racist" President, DT, Charlottesville, BLM surges, George Floyd riots
The "racist" candidate was now the "racist" President and the full fury of the American establishment – MSM, Republican party, Inc., academia, Hollywood – was unleashed upon him and continued unabated throughout the four years of his Presidency. First, there was Charlottesville, the BLM was surging, and finally, the riots and anarchy following George Floyd's untimely demise.
Former President Obama cleared out the Democrat 2020 Primary field for the decrepit Joe Biden who announced that he was running for Presidency because of what he saw at Charlottesville.
- (2021-2025) Joe Biden's four year reign of racial revenge on white America
Biden would continue Obama's racial revenge project, this time openly and flagrantly, confining appointments for high level position exclusively to black women (Vice President, Supreme Court, etc.), opening the borders to continue the regime's plan for white replacement and announcing "white supremacy" as the greatest threat to American democracy.
(2024 election) "Racist" President DT decisively defeats black Kamala Harris
With the approach of the 2024 Presidential election, Joe Biden's dementia and the incompetence of his flunkies, who were blowing away the debt ceiling, tanking the economy and taking us to precipice of WWIII, had badly shaken the confidence of the electorate. He had to go. To continue the program of racial revenge, Biden's affirmative action VP stooge was hastily press-ganged into the role of his replacement with backroom machinations by Obama. The hope was that she would be the "female Obama." Once again white voters would be snookered, this time to put the first black woman in the White House.
But alas, Barack's black "magic" was "non-transferable," and anyway had long since faded. The "female Barack Obama" was a bust: talentless, clueless, mindless, verbally handicapped and intensely dislikable, even her own party stalwarts could only manage a half-a**ed job of pretending she was capable and competent. On the campaign trail she was a one-trick pony – "Trump is Hitler." Hitler-fatigue had set in, however. …
Donald Trump is back, and white Americans can take some consolation and hope from his defeat of the odious Kamala Harris.
The Democrats continue down the path set by Barack Obama sixteen years ago.
During the Democratic National Committee's [post-2024 election meeting] final chair candidate forum in DC, every single candidate to take over the chair agreed that Kamala Harris lost the election to Donald Trump because of "racism and misogyny."
What then to make of Obama, the man, twenty-years after he stepped onto the national stage with his signature racial politics? One word, I believe, captures the man and his career – "fake." His early two books, about his favorite subject, himself – fake, most likely ghost-written. "Constitutional scholar" – fake. As student editor of the Harvard Law Review, he never published a single article; as a law professor, published nothing. "Race healing" was fake. Hope and Change was smoke and mirrors. Even his sexuality is in question. Rumors now swirl around his being "gay" and the possibilities of a divorce from Michelle.
Like his predecessors, Jackson and Sharpton, Obama was a race-hustler. Unlike them, he was far more accomplished. His self-promotional skills were of the highest order. The black savior turned black into green: he got rich beyond his wildest dreams and now flits back and forth between his many mansions. The man from wherever it was he was supposed to be from – Hawaii, Indonesia. Chicago, Kenya – poisoned American politics in a unique and lasting way.
If Heaven had looked upon riches to be a valuable thing, it would not have given them to such a scoundrel.
