Obama’s Fraudulent Legacy Is Being Exposed, And It’s On The Wrong Side Of History
Barack Obama's crumbling public image is more Louis Farrakhan, less MLK.
Reuters published an extensive analysis of U.S. leaders' family trees Tuesday, finding that some had ancestors who owned slaves.
Part one of "Slavery's Descendants," entitled "America's Family Secret," found more than 100 U.S. leaders with ties to America's "original sin," few of whom were willing to discuss it, the outlet said.
"Five living presidents, two Supreme Court justices, 11 governors, and 100 legislators descend from ancestors who enslaved black people," the roughly 7,000-word examination begins.
Among the living presidents, Donald Trump was the the sole outlier without family ties to slave ownership. Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden were all found to have ancestors who engaged in the horrific practice.
Glenn Beck published research on Joe Biden's family's ties to slave ownership on his father's side in 2020. Beck's examination also included extensive documentation.
"Joe Biden is another great example. Here's a man that worked with segregationists, but is somehow exempt of cancellation. His crime bill was the exact opposite of what the left is now proposing. How many black Americans were sent to prison because of that law? Again I ask ... why is he exempt? How can Joe Biden look black people in the face and tell them they aren't really black if they don't vote for him? Would Donald Trump be allowed to say that?!" Beck said at the time.
According to Reuters' research, 100 of the 117th Congress' 536 members, descend from slaveholders. That includes more than a quarter of the Senate.
Leaders highlighted in the piece include Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Sen James Lankford (R-Okla.), Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), Rep. Julia Brownley (R-Calif.), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), and Rep. Rick Larsen (R-Wash.).
Leaders who were highlighted included information on the name of the direct ancestor who owned one or more slaves, the relationship to the leader (e.g., great-great-great-grandfather), the number enslaved, photos of census and other documents, and details, when available, about the people who were enslaved by the ancestor.
Reuters' examination is the first of its kind, the outlet says. In their research of America's "political elites," they tapped several resources, including the Record Linking Lab at Brigham Young University in Utah, digitized state archives, books at the Library of Congress, the Daughters of the American Revolution Library, public records requests, and more.
Reuters' analysis also includes a lengthy section discussing where assorted politicians and the American public stand on the issue of reparations.

Former first lady Michelle Obama revealed that she "couldn't stand" former President Barack Obama for a decade.
During an interview with Revolt TV, while promoting her book, Michelle Obama recounted how she was disgusted with her husband for a decade. Michelle Obama declared, "People think I'm being catty for saying this: It's like, there were 10 years where I couldn't stand my husband."
The former first lady of eight years added, "And guess when it happened? When those kids were little."
The wife of the 44th president added, "For 10 years while we’re trying to build our careers and worrying about school and who’s doing what and what, I was like, ‘Argh, this isn’t even!’"
She continued, "And guess what? Marriage isn’t 50/50, ever. Ever. There are times I’m 70, he’s 30. There are times he’s 60, 40. But guess what? Ten years. We’ve been married 30. I would take 10 bad years over 30 — it’s just how you look at it. People give up — ‘Five years; I can’t take it.’"
Michelle Obama said, "Do you like him? I mean, you could be mad at him, but do you still look at him and go, 'I'm not happy with you, but I respect you. I don't agree with you, but you're still a kind, smart person.'"
She proclaimed, "Little kids, they’re terrorists. They have demands. They don’t talk. They’re poor communicators. They cry all the time."
Michelle, 58, met Barack, 61, at a law firm in Chicago in 1989. Michelle married Barack Obama on October 3, 1992. The couple had two daughters: Malia and Sasha. Michelle, Barack, and their daughters lived in the White House from Jan. 20, 2009, until Jan. 19, 2017. The Obama children were ages 7 and 10 when they moved into the White House.
In 2017, Michelle Obama secured a $65 million book deal. In 2018, the Obamas notched a $50 million deal with Netflix.
The New York Post reported in 2018, "Forbes estimated the couple made $20.5 million in salaries and book royalties between 2005 — when Barack Obama became a US senator and they first arrived in Washington — and 2016. They are now worth more than $135 million. And like her husband, Michelle Obama is currently in demand as a speaker for corporations and nonprofits, commanding $225,000 per appearance, The Post has learned."

Special counsel John Durham has issued trial subpoenas for members of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee as he continued to push his theory of a “joint venture” in the case he built against Democratic cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussmann, who represented Clinton’s campaign.
Clinton’s campaign, the DNC, the now infamous opposition research firm Fusion GPS, and the Perkins Coie law firm are working to resist Durham’s efforts to compel the submission of documents that have been withheld up to this point. The Washington Examiner reported that these groups have argued that claims of attorney-client privilege should keep the records that Durham is seeking concealed.
Durham is continuing to build legal pressure on these groups believing that they coordinated in pushing fraudulent claims that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia.
Earlier this month, Durham said that Fusion GPS “was not primarily providing or supporting expertise relating to legal advice; instead, it appears that the investigative firm’s primary, if not sole, function was to generate opposition research materials that the firm then shared widely.”
Durham believes that these groups worked together on multiple occasions to set the foundation for the Russian collusion narrative that plagued Trump’s time in the White House.
On Saturday, Durham said, “Meeting to agree on the express goal of a joint venture is precisely what happened here on more than one occasion.”
Durham’s work so far identifies “Tech Executive-1” Rodney Joffe, “Originator-1” April Lorenzen of the information services firm Zetalyitcs, and other researchers began to discuss “searching for and collecting derogatory internet data about the online activities of Donald Trump and his associates.”
In June 2016, Durham argued that Lorenzen “assembled and shared initial purported data” with Joffe, “who, in turn, shared the data” with Sussman.
Durham continued, “The joint venture continued and crystalized in August 2016,” when Sussmann, Joffe, and “agents of the Clinton Campaign” met. Durham pointed to a meeting held on August 12, 2016, where Sussmann, Joffe, Elias, and the co-founder of Fusion GPS met to discuss “the same Russian Bank-1 allegations that the defendant would later bring to the FBI.”
Durham said, “The parties agreed to conduct work in the hope that it would benefit the Clinton Campaign, namely gathering and disseminating purportedly derogatory data regarding Trump and his associates’ internet activities,” Durham wrote. “The evidence will show that as a result of these conversations and during this same time period, Tech Executive-1 did exactly that: he tasked employees from multiple Internet companies and a university working under a pending national security contract to mine and gather vast amounts of internet metadata in order to support an ‘inference’ and ‘narrative’ tying the candidate to Russia.”
Lawyers for Sussmann pushed back against Durham’s subpoenas by calling his actions “overreach” and saying that he “seeks to admit evidence that the law squarely forbids.”
