POLIBIZ – Former US President Barack Obama was found in a rally in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania to stump for Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris on 11th Oct 2024. However, the poor performance of Biden/Harris Administration on economic, inflation, immigration provided no strong basis for Obama to talk about. Instead, he used personal attacks on Donald Trump, the economic records under his era and spiritual, ideological aspects to speak for Harris.

Obama, being famous for his speech talents, concluded the rally by saying “real strength is about helping people who need it. It’s about standing up for those who can’t always stand up for themselves”.
The first Black president of the US, looking wearier than his age of 63, also took credits for the “pretty good” economy under Trump Administration, claiming that "Some people think, 'I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good.' Yeah! It was pretty good—because it was my economy!”. However, he did not further explain on how and why the economy started to plummet since Biden/Harris took it from Trump in 2021. From the partisan perspective and considering the influence of Obama in his party, the 2021-2024 economy is basically also Obama’s economy.
In an off-stage talk with some Black male voters, Obama admitted there was a lack of enthusiasm and turnout among Black men for Harris, and urged them to vote for her because of the same race, being brothers, the same middle-class background...
The working Black communities are the first to be hurt by the skyrocketing inflation, expensive accommodations while they have to compete with the bankrolled illegal immigrants for low-paid jobs.
