1. This is actually a fascinating article if you read between the lines and realize that HuffPuff is writing this from the perspective of the old guard, Clintonista, DC insider party apparatchiks.

2. I don't buy for a second HuffPuff's thesis that Obama is the one who destroyed the Dem party; we all know it was Hillary and we also all know that if the Clintons continue to control the Dem party, they're doomed (yea!).

3. After being crushed in this last election, it has been amazing to me that the Dems are doubling down on what caused them to be destroyed during the last THREE elections, namely, reappointing Nancy Peolosi, cosying up to the radical anti-Semitic Muslim Keith Ellison, moving even further to the left, and completely denying the REAL reasons Hillary lost.

4. All of his has left me wondering if/how the Dems were going to recover from their disastrous death spiral, particularly if President Trump manages to deliver on jobs and the economy, in which case not too many people will give a crap about what the Dems say or do.

5. Now I think I understand what could save them, namely Obama, their most popular leader in a quarter century, could oust the Clintonistas and their cohorts, retake the reins of the party, and reform it. Obama already gets it about the jobs issue based on his above quote. And Obama is still young and no doubt still ambitious and far from ready to go out to pasture.

6. Essentially, what I read between the lines in this article is that Obama wants to lead the revolt against the old guard Clintonista Dem party apparatchiks and will start the revolt by trying to install his own DNC chair. It's the Dem version of President Trump ousting the ossified, GOPe RINOs.

7. Should Obama succeed, then he's got a genuine chance to revitalize the Dem party (boo!), but if the old guard DC Dem insiders succeed in side-lining Obama, then the Dems are doomed to wander the deserts of defeat for many more years (yea!).

“If you look at his body of work on behalf of working people, what he’s pushed for in terms of making sure that workers get a fair deal, decent wages, better benefits, that their safety is protected on the job, he has been extraordinary,” Obama said.

I'm game. Show us his body of work.

I'm guessing President Trump has done more to protect Union jobs (much to my chagrin) than whatever that guy's name is. I've forgotten it already and it's not even worth hitting the "back" button to remind myself.

looks like Obummer doesn’t want the destruction of his party to be his biggest legacy.

Obama is part of the rat establishment, same as shillery.

The two sides are rat establishment/psycho progressives (who don’t like Obama anymore, he’s not bad enough for them). Neither will revitalize the party.
