Abdul El Sayed Sees Obama as a Failure: “Don’t Call Me the Next Obama”
X Influencer Maze Moore made a good catch in the clip below. After seeing the unearthed clip, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski of KFile resurrected the story with additional damning comments by El Sayed. He left Maze Moore out of the CNN story, but Maze Moore made the catch. It seems from 2012 through 2020, he saw Barack Obama as a failed president.
In the Maze clip below, you can hear Abdul El Sayed say that after 8 years of Barack Obama, we aren’t better off. Abdul El Sayed said, “The list of his failures goes on!”
El Sayed is angry because Barack Obama didn’t turn us into a socialist economy. Perhaps communist would be a better word.
Obama left the country no “better off,” said Abdulrahman.
In a 2012 HuffPost essay written shortly after the election, El-Sayed wrote, “This leader has perpetuated war, violated our civil liberties, deported more people from our shores than any other president before him, and the list of his failures goes on.”
El Sayed also dismissed the Affordable Care Act as insufficient and argued that Obama’s incremental approach helped create the conditions for Donald Trump’s rise.
Abdul said Obama delivered no hope or change.
El Sayed will campaign with Barack Obama later this month. It does make one wonder how legitimate either Abdul or Barack is.
“So let’s be clear, for progressives who care about peace, prosperity, civil liberties, and the future of our country, Obama’s reelection last night was no victory. It was the rock we chose over the hard place,” he added.
Five years later, while running for governor of Michigan, El-Sayed, in a 2017 interview with Vox titled ‘Don’t call this man ‘the next Obama, ” he made it clear that he didn’t want to be compared to Barack Obama.
He made it about race. “I get compared to Obama because my name is funny, and I’m brown, and my politics are about inspiring us to believe in each other again.”
That is a statement of nothing. Then he told Vox, “But when it comes to our political positions, I believe that right now we need a set of solutions that remind us that the people should be the core of what we do in government.”
He will never tell you how he’ll make us all the core of government. El Sayed wants to assimilate us all into the collective, but most of us core people would rather not.
Kaczynski said El Sayed made similar statements in other interviews, including one in 2018. He thinks everyone failed and he has all the answers. His answer is to abolish capitalism if you study his platform.
“When Democrats buy into an ideology that says that we all ought to focus on the well-being of corporations rather than the well-being of real people, when we forget what suffering looks like, then we make mistakes,” El-Sayed said. He added that voters could then look at the political establishment from both parties and conclude, “you’re all the same, because all of you have failed.”
Abdul is quite the guy.
El Sayed’s campaign sent CNN a message:
“At 24, I watched President Obama win in 2008. He changed what was possible for someone like me, with a name like mine. Despite being dealt one of the toughest hands of any American president—he handled it. And despite all he did, there remains so much left to do. That’s where the next generation, inspired by him and his leadership, picks up. We stand on the shoulders of giants—and I can’t wait to tell him myself later this month.”
Abdul is an arrogant fraud.
Go Maze!
