Obama Isn’t Going Anywhere - The former president lost big on Nov. 5. But he doesn’t seem interested in leaving D.C., or American politics.
Tablet ^ | 12 Nov, 2024 | Lee Smith

Donald Trump’s decisive victory last week was the only logical plot point in the most remarkable story in American political history. After the protagonist is humiliated, exiled and silenced, runs the gantlet of a justice system that means to imprison him for life, gets shot in the face, and escapes another murder attempt, he humbles himself, prays, cloaks himself, and walks among everyday Americans, as a fast-food worker then as a sanitation man, which shows him there are winners everywhere you look in America. And then he wins, too. It’s not an American story if he doesn’t win.

But the story of Trump’s rise and fall and redemption isn’t over yet. If he doesn’t drive Barack Obama out of Washington, D.C., and dismantle his private- and public-sector network, Trump can still ultimately lose. His first term was undermined by Obama allies in U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and there’s evidence that the heart of the resistance is now ensconced inside the Pentagon and already poised to fight him. This threatens not only the Trump presidency but also the stability of the country. After fulfilling campaign promises to close the borders, embark on a massive deportation program sending millions of illegal aliens home, and appoint an attorney general capable of restoring the rule of law, the president-elect’s top priority must be to bring an end to the Obama era.

Presidents leave the capital city after their term in office to demonstrate their respect for one of the fundamental principles of our republic: the transfer of executive authority from one president to another. Obama stayed to underscore the opposite.

Woodrow Wilson, the only other ex-president who stayed put, had been incapacitated by a stroke midway through his second term and couldn’t leave. Obama announced at the start of his second term he wasn’t going away, and spent the first four years of his post-White House tenure to lead the resistance, and the next four as shadow president.

Obama never hid his role as the real center of power during Joe Biden’s term. When he retired the old man to make way for the candidate he’s preferred since at least 2019, Obama simply grabbed the mic and took center stage. The “Kamala Harris” campaign—whose “New Way Forward” slogan he premiered—was, in reality, just another Barack Obama campaign. Harris, who had never won a primary vote and withdrew from the 2020 race polling at 3%, had already been vetted and her record showed that she was unlikable, and more exposure made her even more unlikable. Pushing Harris on Democratic voters in the middle of a medical emergency—Biden’s cognitive meltdown during the June debate—and giving them no other choice was the only way to get her on track for the White House....SNIP

Trump needs to have an AG who is willing to go after 0bama if his “Resistance™” tactics break the law...like instigating a riot. But there needs to be a way to get the charges brought by State AGs that would have a trial outside of DC.

He’s in the vaunted class of people who’ve never done anything useful in their sorry assed lives. Mr fake background with carefully concealed real credentials.

Remember, Biden thought he was "bright" and thought Hunter was the smartest guy in the room. Ubama is not smart and he's lazy.

Obama is done. His fundamental transformation failed and the boys upstairs have shown him door.

It used to be. Time will tell if that law is provided a new set of big, sharp teeth with which to legally grind up and devour the lawbreakers.

Obama is an insidious creature; a spawn of hell. Other than that, I guess he’s OK.

Being a left wing Black radical, Obama sought the security of a Massachusetts island for a place to live.

“...he doesn't seem interested in leaving D.C., or American politics...”

Well... what can we expect? Here's a jerk who was propped up by the Anti-America crowd and shoehorned into the Oval Office. He then proceeded to think he was ACTUALLY the President!

He's been living in a Liberal wet dream his whole life and will never GET IT!

If he had to sink or swim on his own merit he couldn't get that job down at the tannery, biting the a^%holes out of cowhides!
