Obama was giving this particular speech at a political rally in Milwaukee in late October.
Try listening to that video again. What exactly is the former president trying to say?
I’ve listened to it several times and still struggle to make out the exact words Obama tried to put together.
“That, that the thing that is most important in this elect,” Obama said, stammering. “Not health care… Not… uh…”
Obama attempted to continue his screed, to an almost comical degree.
“Whether or not folks are… able to retire,” he continued. “Not… not doing something about higher wages or rebuilding our roads and bridges and putting people back to work.”
The incoherent rambling took another comical turn when Obama’s voice began to get unusually high-pitched. He alluded to the migrant caravan working its way up through Mexico, and mocked it as even being important to American voters.
“Suddenly, it’s this group of folks we don’t even know where they are,” Obama continued. “They’re way down there.”
The crowd erupted in laughter, though there was a definitely forced quality to it.
Obama continued to stammer and sweat through the rest of the clip, with each word somehow being less coherent than the word before.
Obama seems like a man pushed to the very limit while watching his legacy get destroyed piece by piece by the Trump administration.
Obama’s cool and collected demeanor has melted away to expose a man who looks beaten, both mentally and physically, as the midterms near.
It looks like a man who seems painfully aware that this 11th hour push towards the midterms may still not be enough in a rapidly polarizing political climate.
