Democrats refuse Barack Obama’s election meddling — as former prez’s influence within the desperate party withers

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.”

Barack Obama was working against Kamala Harris behind the 2024 scenes…

Seriously? Harris dropped out early after the first debate back in 2019 or 2020. Her best moment was her first: nearly knocking Joe out the running after the first debate. Biden was in the basement going into South Carolina. James Clyburn’s endorsement let him his first state. Then a strange chill came over the candidates and almost everyone dropped out to endorse Joe going in to Super Tuesday. From then on, Joe literally campaigned from his basement, picked the one candidate who performed worse than he did to be his running mate, and the fraud was on.

My point: those two were always bad candidates. Biden showed signs of his impairment early and often. Harris dropped out before the first primary. If Obama always thought they were bad, how did they win the White House? Was Obama’s star power in 2020 that weak?

I don’t believe it. I think Obama and his fiends were behind Biden/Harris all along and this whole article is just him trying to wipe away his fingerprints and wash his hands of it.
