Barack Obama has identified one of the great challenges of our time: old men who refuse to leave the stage.
What makes this hilarious is he's an old man who refuses to leave the stage. C'mon, let's get this guy a mirror, he loves to look at himself anyway.
Speaking this week at Salem State University, the former president warned that aging leaders cling to power because they’re afraid of irrelevance and death, and he said the world needs younger voices instead.
Again, this toad has zero self-awareness.
Not to mention, this is the same Barack Obama who spent 2024 raising money for Joe Biden, insisting the incumbent was sharp enough to keep going, and then helping him shuffle off stages when the body language said otherwise.
The lecture might land better if the lecturer hadn’t been one of the people holding the door open AND standing on the stage himself.

Yup.
It's not just the men, Pelosi and Waters for example have been clinging to power for far too long.

Remember we were told by those “journalists”, that this never happened

The media LOVES Obama, and by default, that means they love Biden. Until, of course, Obama told them not to ... and then they got onboard and helped kick him out of the race in 2024. Oh, wait, we're supposed to say he dropped out. Our bad.

I’m old enough to remember when an unwritten rule was that an outgoing POTUS retired from political activism, quietly riding off into the sunset to focus on their presidential library and write their memoirs.

Then Obama came along.
He's truly a nasty, bitter, old man who can't let go of the spotlight. Ironic, ain't it?
