Bonus points for the oblique Spinal Tap reference.
For such a alleged gifted orator, Obama sure had some hand handed¹ fumbles over the years. Regarding these specific comments, our friends on the right have decided that they were an insult, and thus they remain forever, and ever, amen.
But the thing is, they weren’t. It is Obama empathizing with their plight.
¹to misplace a metaphor
“Empathizing.”. HAH?
It was a Nasty attack by Obama. Clearly.

Well they have a point in that the constitution is not an exhaustive list of rights, where they fail is in proving it was ever considered a societal right prior to Roe. And in any case it has been returned to a democratic solution instead of judicial fiat. Which anyone screaming about democracy in danger should applaud instead of denigrate.
What they do not (or refuse to) understand is that inalienable means that it cannot be taken away, and conversely, it cannot be created out of thin air. It simply is. All inalienable rights, existed before man ever created a law to protect those rights or to deny those rights. We (humanity) have never had an inalienable right to kill anyone, let alone our unborn children.
So you’re dead set against capital punishment, I take it?

That’s fine.
But that was the context for “bitter clinger” comment. In the two examples it is compared to (then, Romney: 47%; now, deplorables/semi-fascists), the speakers were essentially writing-off voting demographics. Candidate Obama (this was 2008) was doing the exact opposite: Don’t write off X; Don’t take Y for granted.
To paraphrase Upton Sinclair: it’s hard to get a man to admit a statement was benign when his origin myth requires that statement to be malevolent.
Sure. In a world where words don’t have meanings.

What does execution by the State in retribution for unjustly and illegally taking a human life have to do with my statement?
Do you seriously think that you have an inalienable right to kill unborn children? Why does that right end at birth? Shouldn’t you under the guise of privacy have the same right to kill them at any age up to adulthood? Why should the law allow one, but not the other?

The Haters hate Trump because they don’t like what he says sometimes. Ignore his good policies.
All the while ignoring the hateful things that come out of Biden’s mouth to go with his horrible policies.

Elsewhere on the forum, there’s a thread about a “hate filled speech” that Biden gave, yet nobody was able to provide a single example of the “hate” in the speech. Can you do better?
What hateful things has he said?

Terrible crime.
Still no proof that migrants commit more crime than citizens?
Ok then.

Terrible crime.
But one that is acceptable to lefties as a necessity to allow our borders to stay open for all sorts of criminals and vermin to enter

From the link:
In the span of those 20 years, nearly 95 percent of the increase in federal arrests was “due to immigration offenses.”
Who is more likely to be arrested for an immigration offense?
