Obama you are wonderfully witty, suave and cool; but you need to finally use your moral authority and comedic mastery to goad and humiliate Trump, for the good of all of us.
As president, Obama you had to emphasize the dignity of the office as the first Black person chosen, but as an honored retired senior statesman … who has been maligned, and smeared, and had his reputation and his beloved family dragged through the mud, time and time again in the most insulting and unfair fashion … it’s time to roll back the sleeves and fight back … HARD.
Sometimes being too reasonable undermines the validity of your argument, since less sophisticated onlookers can only see the passion of each side, and the GOP is master of fake outrage and extreme accusations — while the Democrats often seem unsure and hesitant in comparison.
We all know your considerable verbal skills, and Trump certainly has shown his lack of self-control when provoked, so it’s very likely you can gets Trump to lash out in an EVEN MORE insane manner if you carefully bait him and then challenge him to a public show-down.
In a twitter battle between you and Trump, the odds are on our side; and you certainly have every personal, family, professional, political and moral reason to want to settle scores.
If this were a Western, now would be the time the incredibly patient hero finally has had enough and deals with the arrogant bad guys to the cheers of the crowd.
This is just like a modern version of December 8th 1941 :
Hostilities exist.
There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
In addition the more pressure you can take off of Biden, particularly with Black voters who are so vital to this campaign, by having the spotlight on you and on Trump’s racism so much the better.
Obama, by saying what we all feel — with dignity yes but also with incandescent passion visible just underneath the surface, and by using your devastating talents at sarcasm to confront the awfulness of Donald Trump (interspersed with deeply authentic moments of mourning for what has been lost) you might just be the final nail in Trump’s political coffin.
On behalf of those who have served on our front lines in war, and those who serve on the front lines fighting COVID-19, please use every tool and weapon you have Obama— we fight for our lives and our future; it is time to be:
“trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored “ (so that) “truth is marching on”.
