On Tuesday of this week, fresh after joining Eli and Peyton Manning in their broadcast of the Bears-Patriots game, former President Barack Obama sent out an urgent tweet to his youthful would-be followers.
“Young people have the power to change the direction of our country by voting in this election,” Obama tweeted. “Climate change, reproductive rights, gun safety – all the issues you care about are on the ballot.”
With nuclear war pending in the Ukraine, with fentanyl flowing across the border like taco sauce, with inflation chewing up what little money young Obama followers bother to make and with the body count mounting in America’s crime-ridden cities more predictably than in the Ukraine’s, Obama sounds about as serious as a character on “Seinfeld,” a show famously about nothing.
