helped him rebut Jennifer Flowers’ irrefutable evidence of infidelity in 1992. Biden, it is widely believed, would have trounced the Republicans in 2016. He isa thoroughly honest and decent man with a lifelong love for his wife and children. Let us conclude with a minor example—the arrest of Harvard Professor Louis Gates outside his home, six months into Obama’s presidency. He did not have to comment on this trivial event but chose to. Corporatist that he is and biased toward the upper strata, he took Gates’ side. When there was a hue and cry he arranged a little beer party on the White House lawn—Obama with his long legs underneath the table, Vice President Biden opposite him, a cop wondering how in hell he got roped into this absurd situation and “Skip” Gates happy as a clam in the ocean, all aglow as he held forth on God Knows what. If there was in fact a teachable moment, it was this. ALL Americans should know that no police officer has the right to enter your home without a search warrant or an arrest warrant. This goes way back to English common law—the King must knock at a peasant’s door—your home is your castle. The police officer had invited Gates outside. Gates fell for the trick and was promptly arrested. He was the fool, not the cop. And black Americans especially should know the law where police officers are concerned. Obama draws a line in the sand against Syrian bombings, they cross the line, Obama does nothing. Obama offends Michelle and she promptly puts him through three degrees of hell as he well deserved. And so on. Finally, | have been dismayed by all the photos I have seen of him since he left office— a big grin while swimming in the ocean, taking a picture of Michelle—at a safe distance—on a super yacht and grinning ear to ear while talking to Prince Harry. He is so happy to be freed from the burdens of the Presidency while enjoying all the perks. May God forgive him. But he did have it all. | used to joke in the 2008 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_029450
