If there had been any doubts, President Barack Obama expunged them on Friday afternoon: The outgoing president wants his labor secretary, Thomas Perez, to succeed him as the top figure in the Democratic Party.
...
If you look at his body of work on behalf of working people, what hes pushed for in terms of making sure that workers get a fair deal, decent wages, better benefits, that their safety is protected on the job, he has been extraordinary, Obama said.

2. I don't buy for a second HuffPuff's thesis that Obama is the one who destroyed the Dem party; we all know it was Hillary and we also all know that if the Clintons continue to control the Dem party, they're doomed (yea!).
3. After being crushed in this last election, it has been amazing to me that the Dems are doubling down on what caused them to be destroyed during the last THREE elections, namely, reappointing Nancy Peolosi, cosying up to the radical anti-Semitic Muslim Keith Ellison, moving even further to the left, and completely denying the REAL reasons Hillary lost.
4. All of his has left me wondering if/how the Dems were going to recover from their disastrous death spiral, particularly if President Trump manages to deliver on jobs and the economy, in which case not too many people will give a crap about what the Dems say or do.
5. Now I think I understand what could save them, namely Obama, their most popular leader in a quarter century, could oust the Clintonistas and their cohorts, retake the reins of the party, and reform it. Obama already gets it about the jobs issue based on his above quote. And Obama is still young and no doubt still ambitious and far from ready to go out to pasture.
6. Essentially, what I read between the lines in this article is that Obama wants to lead the revolt against the old guard Clintonista Dem party apparatchiks and will start the revolt by trying to install his own DNC chair. It's the Dem version of President Trump ousting the ossified, GOPe RINOs.
7. Should Obama succeed, then he's got a genuine chance to revitalize the Dem party (boo!), but if the old guard DC Dem insiders succeed in side-lining Obama, then the Dems are doomed to wander the deserts of defeat for many more years (yea!).
One black Muslim is enough.
seems the Dems are pulling farther left to marshal the delusions they have remaining.
(see stages of grief)
The Dems are like a print magazine that is dying.
Follow the $$$. Hillary and Podesta have their fingers in more pots than Obama, lots more to lose.
Obama is a racist islamophobe.
I, as a white man, fully support Keith Ellison for DNC chair.
ELLISON WOULD OWE HIS LOYALTY TO CONGRESS...PEREZ WOULD OWE IT TO OBAMA...WITH CLINTONS OUT OF THE WAY,OBAMA IS TOP DOG FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS....
I’m going to guess that BO runs for Illinois U.S. Senate, again, and wins, easily, in very blue Illinois.
Simply put, 0buttbongo wants to be the ‘rats’ Maximum Muz..
Well then, that proves it . . .Obambi is both a racist and an Islamaphobe
That’s the only reason he’d keep Qualified Keithie from getting the gig
Obama doesn’t want Keith Ellison to head the DNC?
Sound’s xenophobic to me.
Or, it’s the white side of Obama that doesn’t like the black Ellison. Obama is being racist.
In any case, Obama should not be in a decision-making capacity for democrats, since he’s done enough to destroy them.
Oh, wait.... perhaps Obama is the right person to make decisions for democrats.
True, for logical, normal American patriots.
All the more reason to hope he's chosen.
one stupid idiot raghead is enough
Obama wants to be head man in charge.
First anti-muslim thing Omuslim has done in 8 years.
Running the DNC is all zero has left, since Haley at UN can and will block him completely if he took that, and he couldn’t take his racism/sexism game to her. Zero is just about checkmated. GO ELLISON!
I don’t think so. That’s too much work. Much easier to pull strings behind the scenes, from the golf course.
Obama’s words mean nothing: one could argue they never did unless he was fomenting violence and division using community organizing tricks while dealing with the world; a much larger, less homogeneous community than he was used to!
Key takeaway is whether MSM vets DNC candidate properly, i.e., pros and cons treated with equal vigor.
I’d bet that George Soros recognizes Keith Ellison is DNC’s (NOW HIS) best chance for undermining America’s global role even more by putting the MB right into back rooms running political campaigns.
I’m pulling for the racist Ellison to get the DNC gig.
I saw what you did.
“Obama is a racist islamophobe”
Must be Obama’s half white side.
