During a press conference with Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy and Spanish media, when asked about the U.S. election, President Obama said he has great confidence in the goodness of the American people
The President declined to comment on the U.S. election, pointing out that it was for the American people to decide, but he added that he had great confidence in the people.
“What I would say is I have great confidence in the American people, their goodness. Their values. Their decency. Their common sense,” President Obama said, according to a pool report.
Obama acknowledged that our political process is messy and dominated by money, “Although our political process is messy and dominated by too much money and it lasts too long, there’s a lot of rhetoric that is all over the place.”
But he still has faith in the American people, “At the end of the day I think people recognize the importance of the office of the president, and that the United States occupies a unique role in the world, and will take that decision about who sits in the Oval Office very seriously.”
Contrary to media narratives, this President has consistently brought out the best in the majority of American people. That is why he got elected twice. It wasn’t because of “white guilt” as Republicans like to claim. It was because regardless of his skin color, President Barack Obama is a moral leader, a person who lifts the country up and points the way down a better path.
Obama knows that when people vote, goodness often prevails. Republicans know this, too, and that is why they work so hard to restrict voting rights and dampen turnout by depressing the public’s morale with ideas like “both sides do it, voting doesn’t matter.”
Voting does matter. It is a huge power that has a collective voice that can actually overcome the dark money buying politicians when the people are united.
And that is precisely why those in power who are buying politicians don’t want you to vote.
