Blame Barack: Obama’s lost mystique marks the end of a political era
NY Post ^ | 12/15/24 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 12/15/2024 4:15:24 AM PST by Libloather

Former President Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Joe Biden nomination — and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years.

As such, he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history.

Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Biden lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere.

Obama and fellow Democratic insiders abruptly engineered the withdrawal of his rival 2020 presidential candidates: hard left but likely sure-loser candidates including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg.

The Obamas ignored or withheld from the public their own firsthand knowledge that Biden was suffering from signs of dementia.

Instead, they found Biden’s cognitive decline and his former concocted reputation as workingman’s Joe useful as a veneer for a veritable Obama third-term, “phone it in” administration.

Or, as wistful Obama once conditioned his dream of a third term: “If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in . . .”

The Obamaites then got their wish for four years of enacted hard-left directives that they could only have dreamed of while in actual power.

But their radical menu since 2021 had divided and nearly wrecked the nation — hyperinflation, 12 million illegal aliens, a ruined border, spiraling crime, a shattered foreign policy of appeasement, the popular backlash against DEI/woke/trans chauvinism, partisan lawfare and weaponization of the government.

I believe Obama is a Hitler worshiper.

Yes. The forces behind Obama are still there, still determined to bring America down. They are ones we don’t hear from, quietly assessing and reassessing, and making new plans accordingly. Nobody goes down without a fight, and the hard left never sleeps.

I’d like to think it’s over for Barry, but monsters don’t go away that easily, at least that how it goes in monster films.

But maybe it’s fair to say the dead medium walking won’t be floating the silly idea of a Big Mike candidacy.

Republicans have an opportunity to make some serious changes

Well, if you're including in that summation the pimps and whores in Kongress (who ran as Repugnants), forget about it. They're a worse enema than the RATs.

Obama’s selected Biden’s handlers who pushed through some of the worst policies in American history.In fact, while Obama, himself, publicly supported most of these unpopular transformational policies for years, during his own presidency
Obama declined to advance some of the most radical plans that Biden was saddled with. Obana, a true narcissist, could not bring himself to enact policies that he liked if the same would cause his popularity in public opinion polls to tank.

Obama set the agenda for Biden and could careless that Biden suffered for Barry’s schemes.

I look for Obama to get behind Wes Moore. The guy is slick. He will be the new Obama.

Obama’s never had mystique the only thing he had was a herd of lemmings and he passed them off to Biden it’s how he had a so called win.

I agree. Obama may be many things, but stupid isn’t one of them. This may well have been a plan within a plan: hand a damaged national defense and weakened infrastructure to Trump, make himself look better by comparison, and allow for a carefully controlled shift to a more populist *appearing*, saner-*acting* Democrat party via a purge to come in ‘25-’26.

It’s what I’d do- purge as many nutcase extremists who piss off the ‘flyover states’, start running candidates and building leadership who *seem* more rational and less offensive to real Americans, change the image, put the Marxist takeover off another 8-16 years, for Marxists are patient.

Heard while traveling, radio on the so called “Black Information Network”— BIN on two stations call signed with them as being part of BIN. BIN radio network. FReepers get to work on these self righteous npr types.

There were live quotes from the executive direction of the Obama Foundation-—one Valerie Jarrett (Iranian agent and half white slum lord in Chicago— who got Moochelle her 300K a year lawyer job from the Mayor Washington corrupt machine. The job- to redirect medicaid patients from fancy Chi-Town hospitals like Presbyterian, to public health shiteholes- and she received a bonus for each one removed from private hospitals. Hating her own people doing it. And THAT kind of Socialist).

Valerie Jarrett- and sound bites from Obama’s opening speech. So— we all need to look into THIS foundation made up of stolen fedgov kickbacks and the Muslim Brotherhood. Take this a@@hole out— historically and render him powerless, because no ONE listens to him, certainly not in the smart black community. A Marxist bi-paedo is what Obamaumao the First is, and he is connected to the LEFT in the UK via Starmer- no question, with embeds in the DOD which must be removed, asap.
