President Barack Obama wasn’t on the debate stage with the 10 Democratic presidential hopefuls Wednesday night — but his legacy was, and it was trashed by many of the candidates, leaving some Democrats scratching their heads in disbelief.
Obama’s record on immigration was widely criticized by the participants and his signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act, became a casualty of the discussion around “Medicare for All,” as his former Vice President Joe Biden attempted to defend the administration’s work.
Eric Holder, Obama’s attorney general, warned Democrats to tread lightly.
“To my fellow Democrats. Be wary of attacking the Obama record. Build on it. Expand it. But there is little to be gained – for you or the party – by attacking a very successful and still popular Democratic President,” he posted on Twitter.
The Rev. Al Sharpton said Democrats piling on Obama would alienate the Democratic base.
”This whole suicide mission of going after Barack Obama smells like desperation, and I think it certainly shows that some of them are just not ready for where they are,” he said.

Well Trump blames Obama for everything why shouldn’t the Democrats do the same?
They must have heard the rumor Michelle will be Joe’s vice.
After last night, the Democrat Socialist’s 2020 election chances are so far down the toilet that not even Mark Wilson and Nani Darnell could pull them out. Perhaps they should consider moving their next debate venue to “The Magic Land of Allakazam.”
Maybe that was their way of indirectly criticizing Biden w/o going nose to nose like Kamala did. The rips and snips would ricochet off the invisible Obama and ping Joe where it hurts;
right in his “legacy”.
They are missing the obvious.
1. Biden is in the lead. Attacking Obama’s increasingly unpopular legacy attacks both Biden.
Michelle Obama may be put forth at a brokered convention. Crippling the Wookie before she can run at the last minute increases their odds at the convention.
I don’t think she gets involved. She doesn’t want to work.
“Eric Holder, Obama’s attorney general, warned Democrats to tread lightly.”
Spoken as the only “Attorney General to be found in Contempt of Congress!”
When The One ascended in 2009 he could do no wrong. Greek columns, religious icon images, and Republicans cowering in the corner. He had the table completely set to implement all of their socialist dreams right then and there.
He did not.
And they will never forgive him for it.
I think she runs or bathhouse Barry divorces her and returns to the gay lifestyle.
She doesn’t want to work....
Her husband sure didn’t. The media campaigned for him and once in office he spent his time posing for pictures.
They seek to ignore, neglect, and to DESTROY, not to create or build.
What strikes me MOST is Trump's personal engagement in negotiations and direction. Trump can cite the numbers and follows them closely. Odunga couldn't negotiate his way out of a paper bag! WHAT A JOKE PRESIDENCY HE WAS. TOTAL FRAUD!
Trump is a mover and a shaker and is a MAGNET to world leaders. Amazing leader he is and there has NEVER been anyone quite like him. It is CLEAR he deeply loves our country. History will reflect that Trump was the George Washington of our time.. A LEGEND!
IMO, George Washington was the greatest and most Godly American ever in our history.. Interesting factoid that HE HAD TWO HORSES SHOT OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HIM..
"But by the All-Powerful Dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me!" - George Washington
She doesn’t want to deal with everyone not agreeing with her, more like. I dont think Michelle Obama is lazy at all, just intolerant.
or the Russians
If they are attacking Obama then their internal polls must be dismal regarding the “Lighbringer’s” legacy.
“They must have heard the rumor Michelle will be Joe’s vice.”
Rats wet dream is to have Michelle as Prez( 1st woman) with Zero running around the White House making mischief.
“Well Trump blames Obama for everything why shouldn’t the Democrats do the same.”
Posting in the wrong forum?
That the democrats are now attacking 0bama shows how totally far left the party has gone; 0bama was not socialist enough for them. The democrat base has gone full “Red Guard” and in the debates its on display. Anything other than full-on bats*** socialist is attacked. It’s like a reactor going critical; the process has started, nothing can stop it but the inevitable BANG at the end.
