MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski used a portion of an interview with former White House adviser Valerie Jarrett to pine for the days that Barack Obama was the head of the Democratic Party.
"Could you do a favor for me?" Brzezinski said at the end of her interview that aired Thursday morning. "Could you ask President Obama something for me? Could he come back and save the party and tell them what to do?"
Jarrett laughed and said that Obama right now is working to find "the Barack Obama 2.0s" and a new generation of leaders to take his place.
Jarrett also admitted that she had not anticipated the 2016 election outcome but said the Democratic Party should not focus on rebuilding itself and "creating a big and inclusive tent."
Brzezinski is an outspoken critic of President Trump and has said she voted for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

Losing over 1000 seats nationwide was not enough?
Bring back Obama and they won’t just be a minority party, they will be the size of the Libertarian Party.
TOO BAD HE CANT BECAUSE HE’LL BE INVESTIGATED
True enough.
That’s one of the main reasons I want Trump in there for a full eight, and Pence to follow with another eight.
Caution---prolonged viewing causes violent retching.
Under Mr. Obama the Democrats lost both houses of congress, dozens of statehouses, the executive mansion and probably the courts. Is she high?
He’s in a non-extradition country for a reason.
Please please please
Joke of the day.
Good luck with that , Obama has moved from Leaching off the tax payers to Leaching off of Billionaires
Save Democrats?! They lost the White House, the Senate, the House, and a significant number of governorships and state legislatures under Obama’s watch. Over 1000 seats lost in eight years of Obama. How much more saving would Obama accomplish? Obama was a boon to the ascendency of the GOP.
He's gonna leach off taxpayers for a long, long time.
Obama Gave Himself A MASSIVE Pay Raise… FOREVER!

The Congressional Research Service reports that for requests for both 2016 and 2017 fiscal years, Obama's proposed federal budget would expand funding through the Former Presidents Act. In 2017 alone, Obama wants nearly an 18% hike in expenditures… $588,000. That means $3.865,000 in appropriations will be available to spend on former Presidents! The 2016 proposed budget includes an additional $25,000 increase.
The Former Presidents Act, enacted in 1958, provides living former presidents with a pension, office staff and support, funds for travel, Secret Service protection, and mailing privileges. It also provides benefits for presidential spouses. Currently, former presidents are awarded a pension equal to the salary of cabinet secretaries, which totaled $203,700 for the 2015 calendar year and was boosted by $2,000 for the current calendar year.
Critics of the act argue that it financially supports former presidents who are not struggling. Many of them, alternatively, have gone on to profit from writing books about their time in the White House or delivering paid speaking engagements.
Former President Bill Clinton, for example, earned $132 million for delivering paid speeches between February 2001 and March 2015, according to an analysis from CNN. Clinton received $924,000 in taxpayer dollars last year by way of the Former Presidents Act.
Republicans in the House and Senate have introduced legislation that would cap annual pensions for former presidents at $200,000. Additionally, the bills would cut each pension by a dollar for every dollar the former president earns over $400,000 in the private sector in a given year. The measure was approved by the House in January with bipartisan support.
"It's pretty simple. You want a retirement and pension, it's there. But if you're going to go out and make enormous sums of money, then you don't need taxpayer subsidies," Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah), who introduced the bill in the House, told ABC News in an interview. "The former presidents are making gobs of money speaking and writing books, more power to them, but that doesn’t mean they need more taxpayer dollars on top of that," Chaffetz added. "It's embarrassing that they take that money."

Besides, tt’s gonna take awhile for the O’s to tally up all their holdings....federal monies moved offshore secreted in tropical bank havens in French Polynesia, Tahiti, the Caribbean and Central America.
Then, and only then, can Oba go back to DC and be a Dad. The reason he “said” he’s staying in the District........ so his daughter can finish school.
Sure...bring back your destroyer.
Exactly. Mika is such a dunce. Obama broke the Democrats, the DNC, and formed a shadow party with his huge take in money. It’s the global Soros-Obama alliance that Mika supports.
She is a problem. The whole MJ crowd wants Trump impeached and nothing less. Both sides of the aisle are viewers and in on it.
Mika brags about leaks among Trump’s “close aides” calling in to Joe and to Mika.
Bring him back to stand trial!
