Former President Barack Obama warned young people in Chicago on Tuesday that they should “quickly” get over trying to be “woke” because the world is a complex place and that young people need to stop engaging in online outrage mobs and cancel culture.
“This idea of purity and you’re never compromised and you’re politically woke and all that stuff — you should get over that quickly,” Obama told an audience at the Obama Foundation Summit.
“Like if I tweet or hashtag about how you didn’t do something right, or use the wrong verb then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself, ‘Cuz man, did you see how woke I was? I called you out!
“That’s not activism. That’s not bringing about change,” Obama concluded.
OOooof. That’s gonna sting a little.
But, of course, if he expanded on his thoughts he’d say, “simply cheat elections, stuff that ballot box, put the new black panthers at the polls, that kind of stuff, and then you can rule with an iron fist over these losers that you’re wasting time with on Twitter.”
That’s why he’s their God.
Can former Presidents be impeached?
The new season of ‘You Didn’t Build That!’ is coming soon.
Just Axing should be axing if former Presidents can be axed.
Number 626 on the differences between Republicans and Democrats; When Republicans leave the presidency, they just fade away, ego assuaged and content in the knowledge that they did the best they could. Democrats demand their ego constantly fed, so they cash in on the notoriety, try to remain relevant (constant fail) and are ready and eager with excuses that the nirvana promised was only negated by evil doings of the other side. They leave bitter, unsatisfied and even more hungry to stay in the spotlight.
And speaking truth, as what Obama did above, does not imply wisdom, with this guy an ulterior motive is always in the offing.
@Rich Taylor: I guess W is the exception that proves the rule, huh?
Obama’s about to lose his cred among the woke, if he ever had any, thereby making him even less relevant that before. I didn’t think it was possible.
Even liberals can’t stand liberals.
Tony R, W kept his mouth shut and hid out on his ranch for the entire 8 years of the Obama debacle, not once criticizing him. It was only after Trump insulted his brother that he hit back.
Don’t be woke, be a subject.
Get used to it, now.
@Rich Taylor, is he still hitting back? It was just a few weeks ago when he was criticizing the President pulling out of Syria.
Funny though, Obama criticized W, Cheney, just about anyone associated with W and he didn’t seem to care to hit back.
Rich Taylor, right you are. It positively turns my stomach to watch the MSM ooh and ahh over that doddering fool Jimmy Carter every time he shows up for a photo op at a Habitat for Humanity build.
Has anyone told this disdainful fool that he has a reservation with the devil?
Just Axing — Yes, I think former presidents can be impeached. I think I heard that on Limbaugh a few weeks ago.
Obama can see the writing on the wall. He is yesterdays news now.
You can tell that the US is collapsing by looking at the faces of Americans.
Old men are either angry or have a sense of humor.
Insurance agents and bankers have a fake laugh.
Girls are either sluts and/or fat.
Young men are angry.
First an ape in heels talking, and now this weasel. What a great animal act.
The most ‘holier than thou’ is annoyed by the pretensions of lesser holies.
