Barack Obama has lost his mojo and ruined his brand.
It used to be said that Joe Biden was serving Obama’s third term, that his former boss was controlling him from the home he had bought in DC’s ritzy Kalorama neighborhood, two miles from the White House.
The feeling was that Obama was the real leader of the Democratic Party and his wife Michelle was the secret weapon they would whip out in 2024 to replace Biden and trounce Donald Trump.
Well, none of it came to pass, and judging by his irrelevant poll numbers, Obama’s star has long faded.
In a CNN poll last month, Obama received only 4% support from Democrats who were asked which leader best represents the party, lagging behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders. Ouch.
If Obama really was the puppeteer pulling Biden’s strings, he has a lot to answer for, judging by the parlous state of the party.
But in reality, the former prez was so aloof from politics that he didn’t even bother watching Biden’s disastrous debate performance last summer that killed his re-election bid.
Bid to ‘kneecap Harris’ According to a new book, “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, Obama “was alerted to the catastrophe by his phone . . . Obama kept his thoughts to himself that night, but his proxies didn’t afford Biden the same courtesy.”

Withers on the vine ?
(sorry, Mr. Newt)
Gay muzz interloper CIA asset said what?
I think it’s likely that Obama answered to the same masters that Biden answered to.
Both are / were sock puppets
I still think MO was suppose to be the 2024 candidate. But then, Biden threw them under the bus by endorsing Harris. As you all remember, this was shortly before the dem convention. And party unity and all that you know.
I’d like to know of JB blurted out KH’s name on his own, or was he told to pick her by someone who wanted to spite Piglosi or BO?
The younger folks are less than enchanted by all things associated with Barrack, his Bride, and their personal take on what the world should be run like.
No way would Michelle endure another 4 years of political hell to assuage Barry’s fantasies of 4 more years to transform America.
He thought & hoped she would. Other head donks hoped, likewise, but not Michelle, thank God.
his wife Michelle was the secret weapon they would whip out in 2024

Unfortunate choice of words.
The Obama-influence-receding “sign” I seek is the FOR SALE sign on Barry & Mike’s Kalorama (DC) home.
>> I still think MO was supposed to be the 2024 candidate.
Many here on FR clung to that fantasy and trumpeted it here at every opportunity. I never believed it, for a few good reasons.
It’s hard for them to admit but they know they blow it.
At this point his help would be negligable. That party is so far gone they would not listen to him.
There were mostly Karens and old hippy democrap boomers at the rallys this weekend. No young people, men, or minorities.
DYSWTDT? 😄
What is interesting about these results that are becoming clear about Obama is that while it isn’t being reported as such, this reality of Obama supports two of the simple observations that conservatives made about him early on.
‘That Obama is lazy, and that Obama has always been an empty suit with no substance’.
Barry was pushed forward for being a white, lazy, shallow doper kid from Hawaii that could be marketed as black and who make gobbledygook sound meaningful.
Beat me to it. But those are the words they chose!
Obama failed as a US President and caused so many domestic and foreign disasters that one cannot list them all here.
He and his gorilla wife enriched $$$ themselves based on the color of their skin and not on the content of their character.
He has the most Hubris of any President in modern history.
Why would any person follow his personal or “professional” advice. He was a loser, dressed in shiny, starry and fancy cloak.
Keep him in the trash bin of history.
What is nice is that the democrats, the left, and the media are seeing him diminished, he is young and will have a lot of years to live as a second string guy.
This is unusual, all the icons of the left are being seen as losers now, Biden with his bizarre single term, Pelosi is being seen as creepy and creepily ancient, Obama while still young is being seen as a failed fantasy. and it goes down to a some governors and big city mayors, the Democrat party has had the covers peeled back and weakness and ugliness and illusion are being exposed.
Old Hippies. If they were paid for rabble-rousing, I’ll bet they won’t be declaring the income on next year’s tax statement. Their form of Reparations.
