Former President Barack Obama has a long list of failures under his belt, but he did do at least one thing right.
According to former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, who occupied the post under George W. Bush, Obama’s singular accomplishment was paving the way for President Donald Trump’s electoral victories.
Look:
If you want to know why Donald Trump was elected, watch Barack Obama’s attack speech yesterday at Jesse Jackson’s funeral. As he did throughout his presidency, he created a straw man to describe Republicans as bigots who force the American people to “turn on each other”.

“If you want to know why Donald Trump was elected, watch Barack Obama’s attack speech yesterday at Jesse Jackson’s funeral. As he did throughout his presidency, he created a straw man to describe Republicans as bigots who force the American people to ‘turn on each other’,” Fleischer explained in an X post. “He said similar crap when he was President and the GOP was the party of Bush, McCain and Romney. It’s the language of bitterness and resentment that makes good people recoil to be described that way.”
“Obama is one of the most divisive figures in US history, except he is celebrated by the MSM because they are partisans. They take sides and loved and protected Obama,” he continued. “It’s no wonder a tough, no BS, bull in the China shop emerged. That person was a fed-up Trump, who broke the MSM by not caring what they thought. He showed Rs they could punch back against the Ds and win. His rise coincided with the welcome birth, at long last, of conservative media which gave voice to the voiceless who had been forced to consume the prejudices of the MSM.”
“I can’t stand Obama. He was weak, patronizing, condescending and he put America last. But having listened to him yesterday, I reminded the only good thing he did was help elect President Trump,” the post concluded.
X users agreed:
MSM never vetted Obama the way they should have.
They never reported on him the way they should have.

And he tried so hard to stop Trump, going so far as to try to overthrow his presidency to keep Hilary out of prison.

And he did that AFTER Jessie’s son requested that everyone honor his father by NOT being political.

I don’t think JJ was a huge fan either and BO disrespected his families wishes. Listening to his hateful & vitriolic speech made many realize how our country became so divided from 2008 – present. It was always him….

And as the first mixed-race president you would think he would champion unity.
