(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)Barack Obama is back, and he’s scolding Americans who don’t want to vote. The former president is in a new video in which he tries too hard to be hip to appeal to younger voters. The Democrats are hoping their anointed one can bring on the blue wave, but Barack just doesn’t have it. He uses his clout with Beyonce and then laughs at the GOP, claiming they can’t use the internet. However, Obama’s stunt backfires, big time, once again.
Well, we know for sure the Democrats are in big trouble. They just begged Barack Obama to come back and make a sad little video which shows him being so utterly condescending to the American electorate.
The Washington Times reports, “Barack Obama released a video Wednesday geared toward young voters, urging them to head to the polls on Nov. 6 to elect politicians ‘who actually know what the internet is.'”
In the “Get Out The Vote” video from media company ATTN, the former president says young voters finally have the chance to elect a diverse Congress that’s “representative of America as a whole.”
“You remember those hearings where members of Congress were asking [Facebook CEO] Mark Zuckerberg questions like they’d never used the internet before? That’s because they haven’t. Here’s your chance to vote for people who actually know what the internet is,” Mr. Obama says in the video as footage plays of Republican Sens. John Cornyn, Roy Blunt and Lindsey Graham.
“You wouldn’t let your grandparents pick your playlist,” the former president says at another point in the video. “Why would you let them pick your representative who’s going to determine your future?”
The former president also had a comeback to the claim that midterm elections aren’t as exciting as ones with a president on the ballot. “You know what’s boring? Scrolling through endless photos of your dinner on Instagram,” Obama said.
Mr. Obama said another excuse people use for not voting is that they’re not informed enough on the candidates. “You can’t use Google to figure out which candidates on your local ballot think that the earth is flat and climate change is a hoax?” he asked. “Google is super easy to read.”
This video is so tone deaf as Obama appeals to identity politics and far-left causes:

Barack just pissed off half the country. This isn’t a sound strategy to win elections. In fact, this highlights exactly why the Democrats are no longer the party of John F. Kennedy.
Fox News reports, “In September, Obama rallied supporters in Illinois, warning them that the stakes are high and the consequences of staying on the sidelines for the midterm elections are ‘dire.’ He delivered then some of his toughest broadsides against the GOP since leaving office – and referred to Trump by name, something he used to avoid.”
Social media users weren’t impressed, and we guess that means his reference to the GOP not using the internet is a lie. Twitter user “Outspoken Marc” tweeted, “All millennials cannot afford to go to Coachella Mr. Obama This is such an out of touch stereotype by an Elitist like yourself.”

David Rutz tweeted, “Obama continues to not have an especially high opinion of his supporters.” Yep, we agree. There’s something about a 57-year-old man trying to act 20-years-old while name-dropping Beyonce and alluding to going to her private concert that seems a tad grandiose and ridiculous.

There’s no doubt Obama wanted to be a rock star but ended up the puppet of the left. Now, he can’t finish his memoir thanks to the continuing House Intel investigation that day by day is uncovering his role in spying on the Trump campaign.
So he sits around waiting for the Democrats to come calling for him to save the day. But if he could, they would have won in 2016. This video backfired, big time. It’s really embarrassing. Let’s vote red and make Obama cry again.
