Barack Obama has an important message for Canadians:
I was proud to work with Justin Trudeau as President. He's a hard-working, effective leader who takes on big issues like climate change. The world needs his progressive leadership now, and I hope our neighbors to the north support him for another term.

Four more years for Justin Trudeau! Yes We Canada!
Please stay out of our election. https://t.co/z1zMxOjIx3

Why? Barack Obama’s got the Midas touch. Just look at how well the Dems did in Congress on his watch. And anyway, he’s allowed to comment on foreign elections, right?
Is this election meddling? https://t.co/tnhBzjbmk3

He's a private American citizen using his former position as President of the United States to urge people to vote for a candidate in the Canadian election.
So… back to the question:

Well, Barack Obama’s not technically the president anymore (though he is in a lot of people’s hearts), but that seems like a fair question, heh.
why is O meddling in a foreign election in favor of a blackface bro? https://t.co/SAMuiRnbV6

Seriously, this is hilarious. Because aside from the whole blackface/brownface thing, there’s the fact that Obama still hasn’t endorsed Joe Biden.
Obama endorses Trudeau and not Biden ? https://t.co/08gdnOl8u0

He endorsed the guy in black-face before @joebiden ==> https://t.co/MCNHvvztG8

Pretty rough that Obama goes out of his way to endorse the guy that did blackface for Prime Minister of Canada but still won’t endorse Joe Biden — his own Vice President of 8 years — for the Dem nomination https://t.co/NokntpqeHF pic.twitter.com/VNQGDjox3Z
