New York Times columnist Tressie McMillan Cottom said Friday that former President Barack Obama will not be coming to Democrats' collective rescue as the party struggles to find national leadership in the wake of their stinging defeat in 2024.
Cottom argued that Democrats desperate for Obama to save the party are "undignified" and weak, asserting that change will not come from above, but rather from "the streets."
"We must start asking how we can save ourselves. We are seeing the start of that in places like Los Angeles, San Antonio and Raleigh, N.C.," she wrote, referencing the anti-ICE protests occurring across the country. "Only direct, sustained protest will protect us."
The Times columnist claimed that President Donald Trump has led the country into "dangerous territory" by deploying the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, suggesting the moment feels significant enough to warrant Obama’s intervention.
She noted that the social media murmurs and essays questioning Obama's whereabouts at such a pivotal moment speak to an accepted truth: "The Democratic Party lacks leadership" in the wake of Kamala Harris' 2024 defeat.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., offer "glimmers of a charismatic party head waiting in the wings," she wrote. While Obama may feel like a good option, she wrote, she gave his presidency a mixed review from a liberal perspective, saying he was a "product of his times."

Booker and Hakeem are getting a lot of face time recently. I think they are planning an Obama 2.0
But I thought change came from behind? Oh, wait, that’s leadership. Sigh.
Ouch.
Chris Matthews says it’s fair to call Obama’s Iran nuclear deal a ‘joke’

No more leading from his behind. DemonicRATS have to wipe their own azzes.
Wait. They are going to save themselves by means of arson and looting?
Black Lives Matter More is to the Democrats what the Houthis are the Iranian Mullahs.
O’bastard was never a leader. He was nothing more than a puppet. Still is.
He never was. He never cared about America. He cared about himself and his personal ego,
Just like all good little communists.
The Kenyan is a primary reason that this country is so screwed up.
Secretly, Obama is cool with Trump. He won't admit it in public though.
Must have taken something for that leg tingling...
‘ Secretly, Obama is cool with Trump.’
The delusion is strong with you.
the democrat party is now far beyond obama.
Obama is a figurehead.
I’m still laughing at those days when so many thought Michelle was going to run for President. Boy those guys sure disappeared.
I think the analogy is that we are coming to the end of the reconstruction.
The arson and looting will continue until people like the Democrats again.
In your dreams...
He’d be as useful as W.
