Former President Barack Obama’s attempt to lecture Texas Republicans on redistricting blew up in his face this week after social media users quickly exposed his staggering hypocrisy. On Tuesday, Obama took to X to decry Texas GOP efforts to redraw congressional districts, calling it a “power grab that undermines our democracy.” But critics were quick to remind him that his own home state of Illinois is one of the most aggressively gerrymandered states in the nation—a fact the liberal media conveniently ignores.
“We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now,” Obama wrote. “Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.”

The backlash was immediate and brutal. Conservatives and independent observers roasted Obama for his selective outrage, pointing out that Illinois Democrats have systematically rigged district maps to lock in permanent one-party rule. One X user fired back, “Illinois has the most corrupt gerrymandering in the country, and Obama’s silence was deafening when his party did it. Typical liberal hypocrisy.” Others mocked his failed legacy, with one tweet quipping, “Remember when Obama promised to ‘fundamentally transform’ America? Yeah, we’re still cleaning up that mess.”

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has been a vocal advocate for fair and strategic redistricting, urging Texas Governor Greg Abbott and state lawmakers to maximize Republican representation ahead of the critical 2026 midterms. Unlike Obama, who weaponized the DOJ and IRS against his political opponents, Trump has fought to ensure election integrity and proportional representation—something the left fears because they know they can’t win on policy.

The liberal media, of course, has been silent on Illinois’ blatant gerrymandering while amplifying Obama’s disingenuous complaints about Texas. This double standard is nothing new. The same outlets that spent years pushing the debunked “Russia Collusion Hoax”—a scandal Obama’s administration helped orchestrate—now pretend to care about “democratic norms.”
Hard to imagine that “the Mesiah” BHO has become so irrelevant in the democrat’s world! He was viewed for many years as the leader of the party, not he’s just struggling to try to remain an also ran in the party he controlled! And of course, his wife and her goofy podcast is doing Barry NO favors with Michele putting him down around every corner! Seems to me that the divorce rumors likely have viability!! They both just need to go away and enjoy their numerous mansions by themselves!
Barry the divider is a bad memory that just won’t go away. He’s like the stalking ex-husband that can’t seem to realize that his ex-wife doesn’t ever want to see him again. He keeps showing up trying to weasel his way back into her life, and she keeps throwing his ragged ass out. Go away Barry, please! Just go visit Russia or China, and maybe stay there.
AAAHHHhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
B.O. is a classic hypocrite! And now that Biden is our of office and Harris lost, he has become irrelevant.
