Story summary

Former President Barack Obama has unveiled a new slogan ahead of the 2026 elections: "I’m tired of being divided." During appearances in Atlanta and Cleveland, Obama emphasized his desire for unity and called for an end to political division. However, critics argue that this message rings hypocritical given Obama's past nickname of “divider-in-chief” during his presidency. Despite promoting friendship and neighborliness, the irony is not lost on those who see him as part of the problem rather than the solution.
