Malik Obama’s comments about his half-brother, Barack Obama, have set off alarms across conservative circles. According to reports, Malik has claimed that Barack is “still running the country” and suggests that he would play a significant role in a potential Kamala Harris presidency. It’s amusing how Democrats try to wave away these concerns, claiming that there is no connection while the evidence mounts that suggests otherwise.
The notion that Joe Biden operates independently without the shadow of Barack Obama looming over him is as laughable as trying to convince everyone that Biden remembers the names of all his grandchildren. Anyone with half a brain knows that Joe Biden’s ascent to the Oval Office is thanks to a turbocharged dose of Obama nostalgia. The idea that he isn’t receiving pointers from the very man who was president for eight years is wishful thinking at best.

Malik’s perspective should be a wake-up call. He suggests that if Harris gets anywhere near the White House, the situation is only going to deteriorate. Talk about cold, hard reality! It’s quite telling when even family members sound the alarm on the dangers posed by their own kin in power. What’s next? Barack is going to call up Malik and admonish him for giving it away?
Interestingly enough, Malik Obama has not been shy about his opinions regarding his brother’s character and political choices. His endorsement of Donald Trump in 2016 revealed his frustrations with the direction of Barack’s politics. Malik’s claim that Barack has morphed from a community organizer into a “rich snob” who thrives on the worship of others resonated deeply, especially among those who feel marginalized by the Obamas’ high-society lifestyle. Clearly, there’s a rift in the family when praise and approval are hard to come by, a phenomenon all too common with politicos who climb high but forget their roots.
The brothers’ backstory is a fascinating one, revealing the complicated dynamics of family ties against the backdrop of political ambition. Malik remembers Barack as a different man before entering politics, one who was much more approachable. However, Malik’s growing estrangement from his brother due to disagreements over a foundation he started highlights a significant fracture. It paints a picture of two brothers: one vying for power and the other merely looking to carve out his own identity in the shadows of fame—a classic tale of ambition gone awry.
The implications of Malik’s insights are glaring. If Kamala Harris emerges victorious, that would essentially mean the return of Barack Obama’s ideological influence, wrapped up with high-handedness and disdain for traditional American values. For conservatives, this feels like a déjà vu moment no one wants to relive. The prospect of another four years of Obama-style governance is nothing short of alarming, proving to many that the stakes have never been higher.
