On Tuesday evening, an interview was released showing former President Barack Obama condemning the slogan, "Defund the Police" as he argued that it turns away voters from the Democratic party.
“If you believe, as I do, that we should be able to reform the criminal justice system so that it’s not biased and treats everybody fairly, I guess you can use a snappy slogan like ‘defund the police,’ but you lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done,” Obama said to show host Peter Hamby.

Hell, Obama is the father of the defund the police movement. But sometimes children do kill their own parents.

Mr. "The police acted stupidly" started the movement. Yes, he sure reformed the criminal justice system. s/o

Interesting theory: Let them give it a try. Make an example. Take Portland, give fair notice when the police move out so anybody can get out of they want. Let the leftists stay there or move in but they can't leave. See what happens in six months. Portland is lost anyway.

It's not that he doesn't believe in it, he just knows not to say it out loud.

For once in Obummer's life he's actually correct on 1 issue. Even Communist Muslims can figure out 'some things'!

Since 1995, I've heard conservatives say the Democrats who are ALL now Marxists say that they're coming apart, there's death in their pot, blah, blah, blah, like that's somehow a victory or somehow something that will remove their Marxist policies, their deep state players and NOW kids their deep state voting system. The ONLY thing the GOP has done since 1995 is slow the Marxist march to totalitarianism; a sans-Constitution functioning government, done in the name of bipartisanship which just means defeat-with-delusion. The GOP has not reversed ONE thing via acts of Congress. Trump has reversed Marxist policies ONLY by executive orders because the GOP fought him along with the Marxists for four years. Buh-bye to all of them January 22, 2021. Obama WANTS the police defunded, he just wanted his Marxist pals to lie about it. Now that the national voting system is in place to ALWAYS favor the Marxists, they don't have to lie about it. That's the silly issue of this article. The author is like a Jew in a train cattle car on the way to the ovens saying, "I heard a Nazi soldier get chewed out. The Nazi's are coming apart and we've got them where we want them," totally ignoring the fact that on January 20, 2021, the entire nation will be at the camps, not just the Jews, with no American soldiers to ever free them because there won't be an America around to do so. By April or May, you won't even get to read or see stories about Marxists arguing with Obama unless it furthers their Marxist totalitarianism. You need to try to realize what is coming and one of the many evils is that communication of truth via radio, internet, TV, devices, etc will end very quickly and when it does, non-efficacious posts like mine (and yours) will cease to exist. The non-efficacious GOP will become exactly what they've wanted to be since 1995, a window dressing of false hope. And, instead of the ad hominems of me being a negative nelly, try to figure out a way to communicate orally with lots of like minded people and a way to pass on truth without electronics because we're going to need to know how to do that right soon.

He didn't condemn the IDEA, just the slogan. 'Cause spouting the slogan makes people nervous, and tips them off to what you're up to. He's a snake.

Oh please...Obama not only wants the police defunded, he's the one who started this movement in the first place. How easily everyone has forgotten his stated goal of "a civilian force better armed than the police".
No, he isn't "condemning" the concept, he's cautioning them to be much more stealthy about the words they use to accomplish it. Like himself. And with a big toothy smile.

We had a centuries old tradition of former presidents staying away from public attention, especially at election time. Even Dollar Bill Clinton stayed quiet.
Now the Kenyan Klown, as ex president, at election time, appearing everywhere, writing a 3rd autobiography and releasing it.
He is shameless. He should just shut up.

Ronaldo Magnis and Trump have reealed the flesh covered lizard-aliens disguised as conservatives among us. A healthy body has ways of rejecting virulent and defective elements. No quarter for the Never-Trumper! Make them live the traitors death!

Obama's at it again... his third term starts... full of shaming and apologizing for American exceptionalism... while biden is in his basement trying to remember where he's at and what he should say...each time obama appears on the tele it becomes more apparent why he rented a house in DC after his second term... he's now in his third term as the man behind the throne...let's see how the squad handles him...

IMO the slogan and movement have served the purpose and is no longer needed to promote fear in the voters.To wit, get rid of Trump and things will go back to normal. 0 knows the dims will need the police to enforce their policies; ergo, we need to support and fund them. Subtle manipulations of the ignorant to achieve the dim goals.

Obama never said he was against the defund the police movement. he just told his fellow Democrats they need to shut up about it because it cost them votes. He was right. If Defund the Police had come before him, he would have found a way to enact it without drawing attention.
One thing about the democrats, for the most part they are as subtle as being run over by a Mack truck. Obama was something of an exception since he could be more sneaky about things. Very much like he took a page from the RINO Republican playbook.

These weirdoes should cool their jets. He's just saying they shouldn't have been so vocal about it. If they'd have shut up, been more stealth--like the voting machine debacle--they could have done it once they had super majority power. He believes in defunding as much as they do. He's just a slippery eel with more sense then AOC. Can't believe I'm saying that, but the new looney lib generation is just impatient.

What really matters is that neither Obama, Biden, Harris, or any of the other big time leftist and liberal Democrats in anyway came out against the “defund the police” movement or the rioting, burning, and looting that their Democrat “foot soldiers” were perpetrating in the middle of 2020 and up to the election. What they say now does not amount to a hill of beans.

Move further left and maybe you’ll drop in the ocean and be gone forever. Your all nuts.
