Former President Barack Obama is making select forays into the midterm elections this year as he focuses more on his charitable foundation, careful not to become a lightning rod for GOP opposition in November.
Speaking at a closed-door session during the Copenhagen Democracy Summit in June, Obama warned of a "sexist" and "angry" political opposition that isn't "persuadable" but urged liberals to guard against "self-righteousness," according to a transcript of the meeting obtained by CNN.
?Sometimes, it just turns out they?re mean, they?re racist, they?re sexist, they?re angry. And your job is then to just beat them because they?re not persuadable,? Obama said, adding, ?Sometimes, we get filled up in our own self-righteousness. We?re so convinced that we?re right that we forget what we are right about.? - Washington Examiner.
"Not persuadable" = cant be bribed or taken advantage of
