New York – Barack Obama made his official entry into the final rush of the presidential campaign. He did to PittsburghPennsylvania, with the crowd in a frenzy, dancing to the tune of “City of blinding lights” by U2.
Obama in a blue sleeveless shirt, casual, the ability to speak even off the cuff and use his ability to tell stories knock down Donald Trumpattacking him in what are considered by the base to be his strong points. Starting with migration policy: “In four years – he said – he had promised to export, he had promised to build an amazing wall, but he did nothing. And do you know why? Because he has a ‘concept’ of a plan, not a plan, he is one who fills himself with words. His – he said – was rude and terrible, done to make people angrier and not to solve the problem”.
“You know — he continued — what would have really brought order to the border and solved our immigration problem? That bipartisan agreement Kamala Harris he had argued. The text was written by one of the most conservative Republicans in Congress. The same law that Trump wanted to weaken on purpose, because he thinks he can win the elections with fear.”
Obama, the right to abortion and fake news about the weather
Obama defended women, celebrated the strength of “courageous mothers”, mocked the tycoon on abortion (“he may be upset, but we are not”). Described as “a 78-year-old millionaire who has been complaining for 9 years, someone who has “never changed a diaper”, “never changed a car tire”, someone who “babbles like Fidel”, and “wants to make the middle class pay for the big tax cut for his rich club friends.”
And the related question to the lies that Trump has launched and his friends on the Hurricane Helen e Miltonfrom the lack of government support – denied by the Republican administrations themselves – to a conspiracy theory according to which the Democrats manipulated the hurricanes in the Republican states to influence the vote. To the right, climate change is not man-made, but hurricanes are man-made.
The US a month after the vote, Mr. Biden said: “I’m not sure it will be peaceful”

“When did this become okay?” asked the former president.
Kamala has been described as the Obama woman, but the former president proves himself to be unique, able to engage, touching people’s hearts, as he remembered his mother who taught him for him the “difference between right and wrong, being responsible, working hard, treating others. how you want to be treated by others.”
Swing says: The main role of the middle class in Pennsylvania
Obama has always dealt with the middle class, in a state where the middle class will be a key element in winning. That’s why he emphasized the popular nature of Harris’s deputy, Tim Waltzcompared to the spoiled millionaire Trump.
Among the seven major states are the Pennsylvania the one with the highest number of selectors in play: 19. The Georgia and the North Carolina they have 16, the Michigan 15, Arizona 11, ill Wisconsin 10 and the Nevada 6. To be elected, 270 voters are needed, more than half of the expected 538. Every vote counts. Every word, too. The Democratic base expected Harris’ final investment from him and he got it.
At the Democratic convention in Chicago Obama had struck the same chord. “We are ready – he said – for the presidency of Kamala Harris. And she’s ready for work.” “Kamala – he said in Pittsburgh – is ready like no other candidate has ever been.” Every step, praise. Every joke, the audience laughs.
Obama also returned to the revolution January 6, 2021. “If Trump did not protect – he said – his deputy (Mike Pence, dr), what makes you think he is interested in you?”.
Black people and women: one of the reasons for the vote
Before arriving at the rally, Obama made a surprise stop at Harris’ volunteer campaign headquarters to thank them. He spoke specifically to African Americans, recalling how the doubt about a female leader – this is one of the elements of anxiety among black people – is a mistake: “The women in our lives have supported us all the time. When we have problems and the system doesn’t help us, they are the ones who go out there, march and protest.”
Obama has long been accused of being cold towards Kamala. He and his wife Michelle were among the last to support him. Even if it was, it was not like yesterday. In the forty-five minute rally the message was clear. As he welcomed the audience, Obama invited them to vote again. The speakers flooded the system with the notes of Bruce Springsteen’s “Land of hope and dreams”.
Now the Democrats hope that Obama can lead Harris to victory in Pennsylvania and in the other key states where everything is decided, as he did four years ago with Joe Biden.
