But Obama didn’t come to Nevada to make news, and he mostly didn’t. This is the box he’s in now. Even as he’s edged away from the tradition of post-presidential silence, there’s a more practical reason for his muted campaigning: He’s said to be afraid his presence would backfire, give Trump a foil, and energize the Republicans who Democrats hope will stay home in November.

The voters here were happy to see him. The vintage hip-hop act Salt-N-Pepa opened up by dedicating the song “Whatta Man” to Obama. The young Nevada Democratic Party chair, William McCurdy, couldn’t contain his excitement: He’d never met Obama before, he said, and stressed that the former president’s role was to “rally [the] voters.”

That rallying is, in Nevada, very focused on young Latinos, who make up the Democrats’ edge here — if they vote. The headliner to that effect was the reggaeton star J Balvin.

“If we can’t find a way to activate the largest and fastest-growing demographic in this country, there’s no way we can take our country back,” actor America Ferrera told the crowd.

Obama and Democrats here are up against a Republican campaign in Nevada that embodies the surprisingly durable politics of Trump’s party.

Well, I guess we will have to wait and see how Nevada votes and see if the visit of Obama had a positive effect.

“He denounced Trump’s attempts to pressure the FBI and Department of Justice to target political foes.”

Classic projection right there.

Obama was the tin pot dictator. He often demanded things the courts struck down as unconstitutional.

Where’s the Big Push that Obama was going to make before election day? I thought he was going to Lead The Resistance Movement.

Obama, you’re an asterisk.

Well, the “tin pot dictator” wiped out 8 years of your Presidency in under 2 years of his.

Not too shabby.

America Ferrara - the Bob Denver of her era.

So many parallels with the Carter/Reagan changeover - except in 1980 even the Democrats had the good sense not to clamor for a return to the bad old days of Carter.

If you’ve seen the photos then you know that Obama was playing to a nearly-empty house. The fold-in bleachers remained folded in.

This is a former star without the star trappings except for his trusty teleprompter. And why the shirtsleeves? It’s October, even in Vegas. He isn’t hopping frantically from one campaign stop to another - it’s a one-off event. This is like watching someone ‘perform’ in front of his bedroom mirror. Embarrassing all round.

"He denounced Trump’s attempts to pressure the FBI and Department of Justice to target political foes. “That is not how America works. That is how some tin-pot dictatorship works,” he said."

Psychotic.

I won’t say what I would compare that puke to in mixed company with ladies reading. Talk about tin pot dictators!!! That slime ran this nation into bankruptcy and made us the laughing stock of the world. Bowing to a pig muzzie dictator, bowing to another nation’s leader is about as wimpy kneaded as you can get. Without his protection detail he is nothing but a loud mouthed punk drug user. He fits perfectly with the druggies on the Philadelphia, Chicago and LA street corners, or the homos of about any big city, since he is an alleged homo himself. A list of America’s presidents should find him right below FDR, Woodie Wilson, LBJ, both Bushies, Slick Willie, the other Johnson back in the 1800’s and of course the next to last position above him, Jimmuh Kartier.

There SEEM to be so many people who want Obama as president if it were possible. I’m glad it’s not possible, but if there were a way to do it without disrupting the whole country....I wish those(and ONLY those) who want him could have him for a couple more terms & thereby do the comparison they apparently didn’t do after Pres. Trump was elected. I think it’s past time for Obama to sit down,shut up,& pay attention.....and the same goes for those who would re-elect him if they could.

That dope head is still smoking dope. And still lying. And still delusional.
