Barack Obama, Where the Fuck Are You?
The former president, his moral authority intact, is missing in action.
How bad is bad? How bad might it become in Trump’s America? Or have we already, as one might reasonably conclude in Minneapolis, crossed the line into a world of bad, one unimaginably at odds with the rules of law, tolerance and comity that most of us, even when all that has been sorely tested, grew up with.
Let me put it another way: How bad does Barack Obama think it is?
Perhaps not that bad. Because mostly, it seems, he’s playing golf. And hanging out in Hollywood.
Occasionally, yes, the former president pipes up with a disapproving oracular pronouncement. But, so far, he certainly seems to be holding his moral authority in reserve.
