Another week has ended, and the nation is still grappling with the shock of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination. Former President Barack Obama's response to this tragedy has stirred old memories, pulling me back to the raw, unfiltered posts I wrote during his rise and tenure. Obama labeled the killing "horrific" and a "tragedy," yet couldn't resist critiquing President Trump for "deepening divides" by pointing to "radical leftists," as the culprits. This blend of condolence and condemnation feels like a familiar echo of the divisive leadership I railed against years ago. Today, I would like to dust off some of those old writings and see how accurate they were.
Back then, as Obama ascended and then governed, I poured out my frustrations in raw, unfiltered rants—calling out his roots, his narcissism, and the way he seemed hell-bent on fracturing this great nation. Those writings weren't just venting; they were alarms. Today, as we grapple with this "inflection point" Obama describes, it's worth dusting them off and weaving them together. Not to say, "I told you so," but to reflect: Has anything changed? Or is his legacy of division just evolving, still poisoning the well even from the sidelines? Folks, if you want to understand why Obama can mourn a conservative's death in one breath and blame the right's "rush to identify an enemy" the next, look no further than the cradle he was rocked in. I wrote about this extensively back in the day, convinced that his upbringing wasn't just unconventional—it was a recipe for resentment toward America's core values. It all added up to a worldview that saw America as the villain, not the hero.
I found this from one of my early posts: "Let's see now, he was raised by a kooky RDB (Red Diaper Baby) mother and brainwashed by Communists and Islamists all his life; his father was a Kenyan, Communist wannabe, Muslim and by all accounts a pathological liar with multiple wives; his mentor as a child and young man was Frank Marshall Davis, a lifelong member of the CPUSA and a thoroughly despicable pervert; his successive mentor was the racist America hating Reverend Wright; his friend and domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers, jump started his political career." And I didn't stop there. I hammered the point: "The question is, at what point will enough Americans finally get the message that Obama is a RDB, sprung from the loins of sixties radicals? A man educated in the underhanded mole tactics of Saul Alinsky, and mentored by fellow traveler Frank Marshall Davis?"
In another post, I wrote this: "Listen up, people. Obama is a communist, at least at heart. All of his associations, including those he considers mentors, have been far left or card-carrying CPUSA members, specifically Frank Marshall Davis, who Obama admits was a mentor to him during his teen years. It is sickening that America has allowed itself to be so easily duped." (Davis, whom Obama acknowledged as a mentor, authored a semi-autobiographical book filled with graphic, perverted sexual content, including encounters that suggest underage involvement). That Davis admitted the book was based on his own experiences is damning—not just for him, but for anyone who would dismiss such behavior as irrelevant. A man's character is revealed not only by what he does, but by what he proudly confesses to.
I tied it to broader patterns: "The CPUSA has tried from the very beginning to infiltrate the civil rights movement in this country. All the class warfare rhetoric that we are experiencing today can be traced directly back to communist involvement working from within to undermine our society. Obama and his minions are a product of this movement, plain and simple. The willing dupes that call themselves 'progressives' are to blame for much of the miserable plight of the so-called 'poor' in this nation. Spreading wealth is just another way of spreading misery."
And this: "I might add that this is all brought to you by so-called 'Progressivism,' which is code for Marxism. It is an insidious poison that slowly destroys any society that is foolish enough to fall for its false promise of utopia. It sneaked up on us when it infiltrated the union movement in decades past. It sneaked up on us when it infiltrated the government of FDR and Truman. It sneaked into our universities and eventually our entire educational system. It has stolen our souls and made us a cynical, shallow, and hedonistic society. Woe to us if we allow this entitlement aspect of our society to continue to dominate. This nation must regain its spiritual resolve to throw off this soft tyranny that is rapidly evolving into a hard tyranny."
Musing on it now, Obama's 2025 remarks feel like a direct descendant of that infiltration. By defending the right to criticize Kirk while rebuking Trump for naming threats, he's subtly shifting blame—echoing the class-warfare tactics I warned about. It's not unity; it's undermining from within, just like his mentors taught him. As I put it back then: "It is more than unfortunate, tragic really, that Obama could have been this Nation's most perfect example of the triumph of the American ideal by becoming our first African American President (because his father actually was African). Instead, because he is also a RDB and a self-serving, narcissistic, condescending punk, he has divided this Nation like no other President before him. He sees himself as a savior, not a servant of the people. Let us hope that the real Savior is using him as a wake-up call for a people that have gone astray, for after all, a significant number of Americans put him in power, and the rest of us were too impotent to do anything about it."
Deeper still: "All the arguments about what Obama is or is not pales in comparison to what he does and has done to our Constitutional Republic. The man's quick rise to power has fueled his narcissism. A narcissism born of his victim and entitlement-oriented upbringing and education. He is obviously an admirer of Marx but sees his own interpretation of what is best for society as superior to all others. And to that extent, he is winging it when it comes to implementing his policies. First and foremost, he needs to retain power, and like any so-called mastermind, is impatient with those who stand in his way. Most of the world's history is filled with this kind of top-down, centralized form of government control of the people. Due to the frailties of our human nature, something that was recognized by our Founders, all societies are plagued by the idea that if only I were in control, things would be better. This fight for control, one person or group over another, on every level, has led to more bloodshed and misery than any other single thing in any society. Couple that with our human tendency to become addicted to power, and then to rationalize our actions in order to hang on to it, and you have the definition of politics. Our Founders, in their wisdom, instituted a constitution that, while not perfect, was designed to prevent this kind of action from usurping the power of the individual, and by extension, the people as a whole. In his struggle to usurp and marginalize that very Constitution, Obama has defeated his imagined enemies... and become one of them."
I doubled down on the anti-colonial revenge angle: "Obama is no more a Muslim than his atheist father was. Obama is an extreme narcissist who truly believes he is the answer to the Third World's quest for reparations from the Western powers that supposedly looted them over the centuries; an anti-colonialist, if you will. Four more years and he will have had his revenge!"
And again: "Although Obama is no more a Muslim than his atheist father—he does seem to have a lot of naïve romantic misconceptions about them—power and revenge attract strange bedfellows."
In 2025, this savior complex is alive and well. Obama's speech positions the U.S. at an "inflection point," as if his wisdom alone can guide us—while conveniently ignoring how his own era deepened those divides. It's the same condescending tone, lecturing from on high, that I called out years ago. From my archives: "Ask yourself why so many people are willing to believe the allegations about Obama? Could it be because he does not act like he is a loyal American citizen, but rather a 'citizen of the world'? Could it be that he does not act like a Christian, but rather a poser, and a Muslim apologist? Could it be that he surrounds himself with admitted Marxists and constantly denigrates the history and culture of America? Could it be that he has brought this country to the brink of economic destruction, outraging the people with his arrogant, elitist behavior? Yes, there is plenty of hate on both sides. When people's emotions are whipped up, that is often the result. Apparently, there are more who are influenced by the demagogy of the left than the right. So, I will resign myself to surviving the 'fundamental change' that this man and his useful idiots continue to foist upon this country. And as Reagan famously said: 'one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free...'"
More pointedly: "Obama was an illegitimate president, not because he wasn't an American citizen, but because he was culturally, intellectually, and emotionally unfit to serve in any capacity within our government. An uber-liberal malcontent and slick conman who came along at a time when political correctness and pie-in-the-sky utopian schemes were, and still are, all the rage."
Another one: "The dumbing down and perversion to which our children have been exposed, along with the watering down of our culture by uncontrolled immigration, aided by a political party that is thoroughly corrupted by the progressive agenda, brought us a president that could not have been more un-American than the wiliest foreigner. His actions as president, effectively undermining this nation, can only be viewed as treason by any rational observer. But it is now abundantly obvious that he was no more treasonous than the ever-increasing voter block within both political parties and the complicit MSM."
Thomas Jefferson once declared that "Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." In rebuking Trump for fueling a "political crisis" after Kirk's murder, Obama once again denigrates the fight for American values—echoing the "un-American" posture I decried. Charlie Kirk merely represented Jefferson's "tempestuous sea of liberty."
As I wrap up this musing, I feel a bittersweet mix of vindication and sorrow. My old posts weren't predictions but reflections on a man whose divisiveness was ingrained. In 2025, with Kirk's death a raw wound, Obama's words prove his America-hating legacy endures—exploiting tragedy to widen divides, not heal them. The fight continues—we can't afford to be timid.
