Obama's Pennsylvania speech hailed for 'destroying Trump presidency', Internet wants him for a third term

The former president delivered an almost no-holds-barred speech aiming at the current POTUS Donald Trump at a drive-in rally in Pennsylvania

On Wednesday, October 21, former President Barack Obama spoke at a drive-in rally, standing against the backdrop of the Lincoln Financial Field in Pennsylvania. He delivered an almost no-holds-barred speech aiming at the current POTUS Donald Trump.

From questioning Trump's tax policy to his handling of the coronavirus pandemic – Obama did not mince his words. “I never thought Donald Trump would embrace my vision or continue my polices, but I did hope for the sake of the country, that he might show some interest in taking the job seriously. But it hasn't happened. He hasn't showed any interest in doing the work or helping anybody but himself and his friends,” he said, according to CNN. 

Regarding the coronavirus situation, he said, “Eight months into this pandemic, cases are rising again across this country. Donald Trump isn’t suddenly going to protect all of us. He can’t even take the basic steps to protect himself.” He also said that this “the most important election of our lifetime”.

He didn’t stop there. As we had reported earlier, he also spoke about conservative media and Trump’s attitude towards him during his presidency. He said, “Can you imagine if I had had a secret Chinese bank account when I was running for re-election? They would have called me Beijing Barry!”

Obama promised that under the Presidentship of Joe Biden and his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris, "we're not going to have a president who goes out of his way to insult anybody who doesn't support him or threaten them with the jail. That's not normal presidential behavior."

''We wouldn't tolerate it from a high school principal, we wouldn't tolerate it from a coach, we wouldn't tolerate it from a co-worker. We wouldn't tolerate it in our own family, except for maybe crazy uncle somewhere," Obama added.

Soon after his speech, people were seen talking about it on social media. A user said, "Obama absolutely destroying the remnants of the Trump presidency in Philadelphia right now." One noted, “'Hacks and pawns' President Obama is not leaving a shred of meat on the bone in his evisceration of trump & the GOP.” Another stated, “As president, can you phone in a friend? I need Obama to go ahead and get this country together.”

One user stated, “Obama straight took off the gloves for that impromptu speech hot damn.” Another tweeted, “Barack Obama delivered an amazing speech . Intelligent and classy!  Reminded everyone what a real president is!”

A user wrote: “Obama’s speech made me feel like a warm hug on a cold day. Barack Obama spoke at a drive-in rally in Pennsylvania for Joe Biden.” Another shared, “I just finished listening to the entire speech. Obama is so comforting to hear.” Another user expressed, “Thank you President Obama. You nailed that speech. It was a breath of fresh air to hear from a real president. My family and I have all voted for #BidenHarris2020.”

One user wrote: “I can’t get enough of President Obama’s fiery speech! Makes me miss him even more.”  Another said, “I don't remember ever hearing President Obama this worked up about anything before. What a fantastic speech.”
