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

He figures Trump has two years to get his agenda in place, before the House passes to the Democrats. He may or may not be correct, but I am sure this is what he is thinking. The plan is, as it was before, to use the media to pile on with other prominent Democrats to pick at and criticize everything that Trump does, from reforming the Pentagon, the DOJ and the FBI, to mass deportations. Every tear-jerking human suffering story will be on the news 24/7. Trump will get credit for nothing in their eyes. They have every reason to believe this will work, as it always has. So, if he thinks this, why should he go anywhere?

It’s a never-ending fight for truth justice and the American way! The villains in comics always seem to return for another round.

A purge of the Pentagon’s perfumed princes ( uniformed and civilian) is also imperative. Anyone who defied ignored or subverted a Trump order in the past….needs to go. The DEI cabal in the JCS…need to go.

Barakeh Hussein Obama is THE kingpin in carrying out his pledge to: “Fundamentally transforming the United States”.

That is what he promised in his campaign, that is what he did in his 8 unfortunate years in the White House.

His goal to radicalize and brainwash the US structured thinking to that of a Third world, Socialist basket case of a failed nation state. In other words, to destroy the US from within.

To much of his credit, he succeeded partially in damaging the intellectual infrastructure and thinking in the country by appealing basically to the ignorant youth and racial identity politics. It reached a point during the last four years where our language was changing to a garbled mess and confusion.
It has taken these past four years for it all to come to a head and more acutely, during this last election cycle.

The majority of Americans have utterly rejected the Obamian Dystopia but we have only 4 years now to undo all that damage that he hath wrought upon us. We must be vigilant to keep his Elitist Communist vision for America off the table now and decades down the road.

Obama, gorilla Michelle and George Looney and his Hizbollah wife (”Amal”) must be held at bay for a long period of time to come. BTW, “Amal” is the name of a PLO-type terrorist organization in Lebanon that today sits in the Lebanese Parliament.

Did we hear that much from him last year or the year before?

He’s going to be a locust who comes out every four years.

And he’ll make less and less of an impact every time.

Metaphorically speaking of spanking of course. Because (except at a gay bath house) that would be violence.

They can dig through Trump's/others garbage cans, we can dig into his/theirs.

What's good for the goose is good for the panderers.
