Obama staffers bash ''stubborn old man'' Biden's 'sad' Jan. 6 op-ed
2025-01-09
[NYPOST] The liberal hosts behind ''Pod Save America'' trashed President Biden's Washington Post op-ed about January 6 as ''feckless'' and blasted the Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...

''There's like an entire language that Democrats just need to f—king throw in the trash about like 'institutions,' 'democracy,' 'sacred this,''' said Jon Favreau, who served as one of former President Barack Obama

Biden warned on Monday that America risks a repeat of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot if the history of the day is forgotten, and called on the country to ''commit to remembering'' the incident annually.

''But we should not forget. We must remember the wisdom of the adage that any nation that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it. We cannot accept a repeat of what occurred four years ago,'' Biden wrote.

Podcast co-host and former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett claimed Biden misunderstood the quote about repeating history, coined by philosopher George Santayana, and went so far as to liken Biden to a ''stubborn old man.''

''If you're too mired in the past, if you become, this is from the original philosopher, stubborn like an old man, you also become doomed to repeat yourself,'' Lovett said.

''That's pretty on the nose,'' co-host and former Obama front man Tommy Vietor said.

#3  Jon Favreau. I did not know that.

Makes sense though, disney product and all that. Being a film star and a political operative, I bet he got invited to all the parties IYKWIM.

It also means Barry's speeches were literally Mickey Mouse.

Conveniently, California NG has been deployed to LA and New York NG, NYC.
