Obama is the New Nixon
By John Kass Sunday August 17, 2025 Barack Obama is the new Nixon. There, I wrote it down and my name is on it. It's not publicly approved speech yet, but it is no longer the Thought Crime it once was. Many Americans are thinking it. And some, like me, are saying out loud. Barack Obama is our modern Nixon ...

Barack Obama is the new Nixon. There, I wrote it down and my name is on it. It's not publicly approved speech yet, but it is no longer the Thought Crime it once was. Many Americans are thinking it. And some, like me, are saying out loud.

Barack Obama is our modern Nixon figure. Worse than Nixon, actually.

Nixon was considered devious. He was presented as demon by The Washington Post and most of the rest of American journalism as the devil who had to be crushed, his followers subjected to never ending ridicule, his political party was sent on a Walk of Shame. Facing certain impeachment conviction-the result of a botched burglary-Nixon resigned in 1974 rather than put the nation through more political hell.

And what of Obama, the creature and darling of the political left and the beloved of the Post, New York Times, my old paper the now-woke Chicago Tribune, what remains of corporate legacy media?

It was Obama who orchestrated the FBI and CIA to create what is now understood as the "Russia Collusion Hoax" and used it in attempts to destroy his political rival President Donald Trump. He set them like attack dogs on the American presidency, to rip it apart after the American people had elected Trump as their president. Once Obama's cabal of Deep State secret intelligence chiefs were exposed, their methods opened to public scrutiny, the public began asking questions. The fall from grace is impossible for a political immortal.

And for that he can't be forgiven.

According to Rasmussen Reports:

"In the wake of revelations about the so-called "RussiaGate" scandal, more than two-thirds of voters agree with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that there must be "accountability" for any crimes committed.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 54% of Likely U.S. Voters believe it's likely that members of President Barack Obama's national security team committed crimes when they manipulated and manufactured intelligence to promote a false narrative about Russia and Donald Trump, including 37% who consider it Very Likely. Forty-one percent (41%) don't think it's likely crimes were committed by Obama administration officials, including 28% who say it's Not At All Likely."

For Obama, once publicly adored as something of a demi-god, the fact that 66.6 percent of American voters agree with DNI Gabbard is devastating. The worm has turned.

I tried out my theory on the great NY Post columnist and best-selling author Miranda Devine. She will appear soon as a guest on the Chicago Way podcast that I co-host with WGN radio executive producer Jeff Carlin and send free as a bonus to subscribers of johnkassnews.com

We started talking about Obama, particularly Obama's desperate desire for relevance and change of subject which is why Obama's posse are pushing his recently hyped call New York Socialist mayor-to-be, Zoran Mamdani.

"Barack Obama is finding relevance right now, probably not the relevance he'd planned, because he's now fingered as the ringleader as Donald Trump now calls him, of the whole Russiagate Russia Collusion hoax (I'm linking to a recent column of hers on 'Bumbling Obama Aides Actually Admit Russiagate was a smear campaign against Trump).

"It's very fitting that Mamdani would try to set himself up as some sort of national figure by being 'mentored' by Barack Obama and setting himself against Donald Trump because he's of course "too important" to battle against the likes of Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams," Devine told us.

Originally I had planned to write a different column about Obama, a light piece with the former president on the psychiatric couch being psychoanalyzed, worrying about the crease in his trousers, complaining about the conservative media, about his wife's podcast, complaining about disloyal Democrats and the Federal Grand Jury examining his actions and those of his Deep State intelligence dogs and so on.

Who knows? I might return to it.

But I was trained as a newspaperman. And Miranda Devine is a hard news person, though she liked the idea of Obama on my comfy couch.

The thing about Obama is that his legacy is broken. Certainly, as an intelligent man, he must know this. The left can sense it. America can sense the panic.

His aides are under fire, and years after he was treated by the media as if he were some mythical flying horse like Pegasus, creature, a majority of the American people believe that Obama's Deep State has committed crimes in what we call "RussiaGate."

The worm is turning.

"I totally agree," Devine said, "and if you go on X they're talking about Obama in quite negative terms."

Of course they are, it's angry and hateful, but consider: After Obama and his Democrats and media fed the American people a steady diet of hysteria about the hateful bad Orange Man destroying the American republic, you might understand why. The left has been stirring a boiling cauldron and now it's foaming up and over, spilling on the wrist of the witches. Obama used the FBI and CIA to destroy the presidency, but some people developed an affection for the presidency.

They thought of it not belonging to Obama or Hillary Clinton or the editors of newspapers who despise them.

They thought the presidency belonged to them, the people.

And when they found out the true attitudes of the Obama-Clinton-Biden Democrats, they became angry.

There is no putting the genie back in the bottle. Not even a grand wizard like Obama can do it. Each day the people get angrier.

Obama is desperate for relevance and a change of subject, which is why he called New York Socialist mayor-to-be, Zoran Mamdani. But does Obama help Mamdani?

Oh perhaps, but I've known the silky liar Obama for years since the American terrorist William Ayers hatched him in Chicago's Hyde Park. I was a copy boy for his word spinner David Axelrod, and I covered Mayor Rahm Emanuel at Chicago's City Hall, even after Rahm desperately tried to cover up and suppress the police killing of a black teenager.

Obama, like Richard M. Daley is his own favorite topic. Obama abandoned Chicago. He ignored the plight of black Chicago. Like all narcissists, Obama is a political one-way street. He cares only for himself.

He weaponized the FBI and the CIA and used the Internal Revenue Service to hunt and destroy conservatives who dared oppose him.

Former President Barack Obama's newly revealed call with mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani is a nod that could help make the socialist more palatable to panicking high-level Democrats

He doesn't mind being linked to Mamdani. All that is a distraction from what he's done to the country. He wants to step away from what he's done.

He doesn't want to be linked to another president:

Richard M. Nixon.

But Nixon is his legacy now, and he knows it.

They cry about Obama because he was - and remains - more popular than Trump could ever hope to be.

It was Obama who orchestrated the FBI and CIA to create what is now understood as the "Russia Collusion Hoax" and used it in attempts to destroy his political rival President Donald Trump.

I haven’t seen evidence for that, but you know what I did see? 

"They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats…They're eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame."

So, if you like to see utter bullshit advanced to destroy a political opponent, there ya go.

Weirdly, though, a bipartisan commission, chaired by Marco Rubio found that Russia did interfere in the election, with the goal of seeing Trump win. Maybe Obama used his Jedi Mind Trick on them. Spoooky!

And just this week, he deployed the National Guard to Washington D.C., declaring that crime was on the rise and out of control. In fact, crime in DC is declining, and has been for a while.

So I’d say that Trump is closer to being the new Nixon, except that would be an insult to Nixon.

Polls show opinions after Iran: How do Trump's approval ratings compare to Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton?

In a Gallup poll conducted from June 2-19, 40% approved of Trump's job performance . Here is how that compares to other presidents in June of their first year of their term, according to Gallup:
  • Joe Biden (June 2021) - 56% approve
  • Trump (June 2017) - 38% approve
  • Barack Obama (June 2009) - 61% approve
  • George W. Bush (June 2001) - 54% approve
  • Bill Clinton (June 1993) - 41% approve
  • George H.W. Bush (June 1989) - 70% approve
  • Ronald Reagan (June 1981) - 59% approve

Obama leaving with high approval rating

Two new polls show President Barack Obama leaving office with one of the highest approval ratings for any departing US president. Separate polls conducted by The Washington Post/ABC and CNN/ORC both found Mr Obama with 60% approval.

Barack Obama Defeats Trump by Double-Digit Margin in New Hypothetical

Former President Barack Obama would defeat President Donald Trump by a double-digit margin if both were eligible to run for a third term, according to a new hypothetical poll.

Obama received 52 percent support in a head-to-head against Trump, who garnered 41 percent , according to a Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll of 1,013 registered voters conducted July 9 to July 10. The lead fell well outside of the plus or minus 3.1 percentage point margin of error.

The survey found Obama performed particularly strongly among Hispanic voters (73 percent support) and Black voters (68 percent support). Among independents, 50 percent favored Obama, compared to 39 percent for Trump.

Obama discredited himself just as Comey, Brenned, Clinton, and everybody else involved in the Russia Hoax.  The documents were released by the DNI are all out there for you to read.  Yet, here you all are protecting him.  Honestly, you all sound like clown crying about Britany Spears .

Of course they do, and for those Republican fans of Nixon, trying to smear Obama as a criminal is needed to continue justifying their deep-seated prejudice towards black people.

Here are these Republican heroes chatting:

RONALD REAGAN: Last night, I tell you, to watch that thing on television as I did...

RICHARD NIXON: Yeah.

REAGAN: ...To see those monkeys from those African countries. Damn them. They're still uncomfortable wearing shoes.

NIXON: (Laughter) Well, and then they - the tail wags the dog there, doesn't it?

REAGAN: Yeah.

NIXON: The tail wags the dog.

Historian Discusses Recording Of Reagan's Racist Comments Made To Nixon : NPR

But don't try to tell a racist how racist they are though, they'll just duck and dodge and likely accuse you of being an anti-white racist because that's all they have as an excuse even though it's laughable on its face.

When you look at the facts, the actual facts, anyone can objectively see that President Obama was not only a cut above any useless piece of shit the Republicans have fielded since Nixon, but he did what those losers only wish they could do which was making America even greater. Sure, that isn't how the racists saw it, but fuck those useless bigots.

Of course, as soon as Obama was out of office these scum bags started sabotaging everything he built, but there are tens of millions today with health insurance that not even Trump was able to kill because the ACA actually benefits even Trump supporters who chose not to slit their own throats just because their Republican masters were desperate to destroy every Obama legacy that just eats at their racist insides.

Right now the police state invading the Capitol city isn't happening under anyone but Trump.

And the increase isn't because crime increased since the DOGE minion was beat up by a couple of teenagers which prompted the first wave, it's because Trump fears even his MAGA base will erupt if the Epstein files are released.

He cannot risk MAGA invading the Capitol the way they did on J6. He is aware how unlawful it was.

He pardoned all the criminals who destroyed Capitol grounds, erected a gallows for Pence, and beat police officers.

Trump isn't afraid of liberals. Trump isn't afraid of Democrats.

Trump is afraid of his own base because he knows what horror they will unleash.

The increase in requested National Guard happened after the Putin meeting, if Putin releases the Epstein files or other worse information on Trump then what he's afraid of is MAGA backlash.

Unless they didn't release it because it shows that there's nothing to indicate any crimes. Just because Trump knew Epstein is meaningless as it's well known that Epstein met a lot of "important" people. Had his picture taken with a lot of them. There are pictures of Epstein with a lot of people. That is meaningless all by itself. Hell, I have a picture of myself with General Chappie James but that doesn't mean I was ever involved with NORAD.

That's more plausible that the moronic claims we are seeing.
