The Obongo .. fraud! 
Dissecting Obama's Delusional DNC Speech

Barack Obama's speech at the DNC's misbegotten cyber-convention worked only for those Americans, including most in the media, who paid no serious attention to the eight years of Obama's presidency. As I document in my book Unmasking Obama, I and scores of other journalists, many of them unsalaried, did pay attention. What follows are some of the riffs that I, and likely they, found most entertaining.
Obama began by telling us the Constitution "wasn't a perfect document," implying that he would have done better had he been there. Its redeeming quality was that it established "a system of representative government — a democracy — through which we could better realize our highest ideals."
In 2012, with re-election looming, Obama unilaterally decided he could suspend deportations through executive orders. He gave out a million or so work authorizations while he was at it, arguing that he personally could make laws that were "more fair, more efficient, and more just" than Congress. Curiously, that is almost exactly what Stalin told the Politburo when he forcibly collectivized Ukrainian farms.
Said Obama at the DNC: "Donald Trump hasn't grown into the job because he can't. And the consequences of that failure are severe. One hundred seventy thousand Americans dead. Millions of jobs gone while those at the top take in more than ever."
To blame Trump for the COVID dead is disgraceful, pure demagoguery. Trump resisted the urge to nationalize the response and allowed each state to respond to local conditions. As a result, perhaps a third of American deaths occurred in just three of our bluest states — New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. A much higher percentage of people died of COVID in the U.K. Was Trump responsible for those? As to "those at the top" who profited — people like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos — they are almost all Obama-supporters.
Biden and Harris, said Obama at the DNC, would "rescue the economy, like Joe helped me do after the Great Recession." Rescue? Was this a laugh line? As Louis Woodhill noted in a May 2012 Forbes article, "nder Obama, the worst recession since the 1930s has been followed by the slowest economic recovery in the history of the republic.
According to Obama, Biden and Harris "believe that no one — including the president — is above the law, and that no public official — including the president — should use their office to enrich themselves or their supporters."
At the time Obama ran for U.S. Senate in 2004, he was still struggling to pay his student debts. Today, the Obamas have a net worth north of $40 million, almost as much as the Clintons and slightly more than Hunter Biden.
