Glenn Beck is a changed man, and for that he credits the Obamas.
The political commentator who rose to prominence as a conservative firebrand scrawling conspiratorial arguments across a chalkboard on Fox News now says President Obama made him a “better man” and that he was moved by first lady Michelle Obama’s remarks while campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
In a short but revealing profile titled “Glenn Beck Tries Out Decency,” published on the New Yorker’s website Monday, Beck made several revelations about his recent worldview that came as a shock to supporters and critics. He said he regrets accusing President Obama of racism. In July 2009, Beck provoked intense backlash for saying the commander in chief had a “deep-seated hatred for white people.”
“I did a lot of freaking out about Barack Obama,” Beck told the magazine. “Obama made me a better man.”
“There are things unique to the African-American experience that I cannot relate to,” he told the New Yorker. “I had to listen to them.”
Beck also admitted to being mesmerized by a recent Michelle Obama speech in New Hampshire on behalf of Clinton, in which she criticized Republican candidate Donald Trump’s past behavior around women.
“It doesn’t matter what party you belong to — Democrat, Republican, Independent — no woman deserves to be treated this way,” the first lady said.
For Beck, it was “the most effective political speech I have heard since Ronald Reagan.”
“Those words hit me where I live,” he said. “If you’re a decent human being, those words were dead on.”
According to the New Yorker profile, Beck considers himself a supporter of Black Lives Matter, the prominent activist network protesting what it considers systemic police brutality against African-Americans.

FUGB!
I completely agree with you.
Arianna Huffington 2.0?
Glen will be in Bankruptcy Court Soon
GB is and always has been a sorry excuse for a human being. Circus clown.
Back is insane. I fully expect him to go Bruce Jenner.
lol
That’s really not saying a whole lot.
DO NOT LISTEN TO HIS RADIO SHOW OR GO TO HIS WEBSITE. Advertisers don’t care whether GB’s rating are positive or negative as long as he has ratings. Therefore, the best way to get him off the air is to ignore him.
If I thought was the last living person on earth, and all of a sudden I heard Glenn Beck’s program on the radio, I’d still turn it off. That’s how I feel about this idiot.
Please go away, Glen Beck.
Glenn Beck says, ‘Obama made me a better man’ = The lobotomy was successful.
Bit by bit he’s a David Brock in progress.
As my GF said: He’s drinking cheaper alcohol because of 0bama. Now hopefully this walking talking booze hound will disappear from the scene.
He’s certifiable!
...and a fatter one at that. Take your leave now 2x4.
