Former President Barack Obama is coming to Tucson on Friday, October 18 to promote the Harris/Walz candidacy and down-ballot Democrats office seekers. (Information as to the time and place is not yet available).
If Mr. Obama recites some of the same comments he made at a Harris/Walz rally in Pittsburgh on October 10, 2024, Tucsonians will be in for a real treat.
One comment he made was reminding the people that the Obama/Biden Administration handed the Trump/Pence one a thriving economy complete with 75 straight months of job growth.
On people thinking the Trump economy was pretty good, Obama said, “Yeah it was pretty good because it was my economy. We had over 75 straight months of job growth that I handed over to him. It wasn’t something he did. I had spent eight years cleaning up the mess Republicans left me the last time. So just in case everybody has a hazy memory, he didn’t do nothing.”
Voters should be reminded that the Biden/Harris Administration had to clean up another economic mess when they came into office. That mess, thanks to his mismanagement of the Coronavirus, was created by Donald Trump.
No wonder Republicans are trying to ban books and suppress history education. With a record like theirs, reading about that and having a historically literate populace would not be politically advantageous for them.
Among the best comments he made was telling the Pittsburgh crowd, “If Donald Trump does not care that a mob might hang his own Vice President, do you think he cares about you?”
Talk about framing the choice for the American People. That pretty much says all that needs to be said with that line there. People still on the fence or who think Donald Trump would be a better President than Kamala Harris need to let that one line from Obama sink in. Time to wake up people.
Honorable mention for bashing Trump should go to President Joe Biden for telling Trump “To get a life” and stop spreading misinformation about FEMA’s responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. He also called out the press to do their job and hold Trump to account for his lies.
Another honorable mention should go to Governor Tim Walz who mocked Trump for having his Bibles made in China, saying “This dude even outsourced God to China…I don’t blame him. He didn’t notice the ‘Made in China’ sticker because they put it inside, a place he’s never looked in the Bible.”
