It’s been nearly 2 years since Obama ceased being President.
Yes, he was deposed by the constitution. Yet the massive backlash against him that resulted in the nation voting for Trump showed just how unpopular he was becoming.
When he first ran in 2008, everyone (well almost everyone it seemed) was in love with the man.
Hundreds of thousands turned out to hear him speak.
He received adulation and praise on media outlets.
But since he left office in Jan, 2017, Obama has been little more than a footnote in history.
In fact, Americans are beginning to realize just how bad he was for the country.
As Trump carefully dismantles all the things he worked to establish while he was in office, the public is now aware of just how bad Obama was for economic growth.
Now, the nation is enamored with Trump.
They can see how the liberal media and the Democrats have launched an obviously biased attack against him. They see how much he’s done to help boost the economy and how he’s withstanding attacks (even ones from the inside) and this has endeared a nation to him even more so.
And this isn’t mere speculation.
In a recent outing where Obama was given a microphone and invited to speak before a public audience, the man who once spoke before an estimated 1,000,000 people barely drew 750 to hear him speak.
While stumping for the Democratic party, Obama was asked to speak before a group of supporters.
And no one showed up to hear the former President speak.
Former President Obama made his first campaign stop of the midterm elections in Orange County, California Saturday to stump for seven Democratic House candidates running in districts currently held by Republicans but that Hillary Clinton won in 2016.
About 750 people attended the event at Anaheim Convention Center, where Obama delivered a short speech centered on unity and the “politics of hope.”
And, after a story about getting kicked out of Disneyland when he was caught smoking in the Magic Kingdom after a concert as a teenager, Obama issued an impassioned critique of Trump and the state of American democracy and encouraged the crowd to back the candidates he came to support.
It must have been embarrassing for “the greatest orator” of our time to fail to draw a crowd large enough to fill an elementary school gymnasium.
Truly, Obama’s appeal, is gone.
