ATLANTA (Reuters) -Democrats will call in their biggest star, Barack Obama, on Friday in the hopes that the former president can excite voters in Georgia and help the party hold onto a critical U.S. Senate seat.

Obama, a two-term Democrat who left office in 2017, will stump in Atlanta for Senator Raphael Warnock, who faces Donald Trump-backed Republican challenger Herschel Walker, and Stacey Abrams, who is running against Republican Governor Brian Kemp.

“Georgia played a determinative role last cycle and could likely be in the same position in a few weeks," said Eric Schultz, a spokesman for Obama. "Given the stakes of this year’s elections, our goal is simple: inspire voters to cast their ballots."

Obama's trip comes as Democrats are growing increasingly anxious about the Senate race.

Isn’t his “star power” kind of tarnished now?

Star. It is to laugh. I think that the appropriate celestial body would be Uranus. If you don’t believe me, ask Reggie Love....

I’m confused. Which Obama is using his star power? Barak or Big Mike?

Star power?1 He never had any coattails when he was in office and he certainly doesn't have any now. LOL.

Obama is an angel of death.

He turned Libya into a failed state, causing 500K deaths in a civil war which still continues

He used ISIS to attempt the same in Syria, launching the largest migrant movement in Europe since WWII

He permitted the coup and funding of Right Sector in Ukraine which was a direct antecedent of today’s war

He weaponized the DOJ and FBI into a Stasi-like political tool, and watched them manipulate an election and later attempt a coup against and elected President

He droned thousands - and bragged about it.

He and Holder helped form BLM, to create havoc on America’s streets, cause $10s of billions in damage - to push his neo-marxist political narrative.

Obama campaigning in Georgia means they are worried about black turnout!

Well then, Obama’s about to receive a massive slice of humble pie when he sees that no one gives a crap about what he has to say about anything. Heck, him going and pandering for his party will probably turn out more votes for the GOP.

The only place he can go is the middle of Atlanta. The rest of the state is over him.
