Forget about Joseph R. Biden. The race for The White House in 2020 looks more and more like a contest between President Trump and his predecessor Barack Obama.
The former president has returned to politics with a vengeance, inserting himself in ways previously unthinkable for those who have occupied the Oval Office and calling his successor a lawless incompetent.
Along the way, Mr. Obama has upstaged his former sidekick and shifted the narrative of the 2020 presidential race from Biden takes on Trump to Obama era versus the Trump years.
The 44th and 45th presidents both historic in their own ways have been on a collision course for years, dating to Mr. Trumps pursuit of the birther theories questioning Mr. Obamas qualifications for the White House in 2008. That then led to Mr. Obamas skewering of Mr. Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner.
Mr. Obama later watched as Mr. Trump became president and began unraveling the legacy of his eight years in office freezing U.S. participation in the Paris climate accord, canceling the massive free-trade Trans-Pacific Partnership, puncturing Obamacare and attempting to revoke the DACA deportation amnesty for illegal immigrant Dreamers.
President Obama has to be stung at the leveling of his administrations deeds, said Mike McKenna, a former top aide in the Trump White House. Pretty much everything they did, the Trump administration has undone, and usually added in some salt for the wounds. So part of this is personal.
Plus, Mr. Obama has more skin in the game this time than he did in 2016, with Mr. Biden on the ballot.
He cares whether Biden wins, that wasnt the case with Hillary, Mr. McKenna said.

The notion that Obama ever “fought” for anything is laughable.
“calling his successor a lawless incompetent”
Takes one to know one, Barry.
Joe Hidden
Barr won’t touch Biden or Obama.
All those traitors who willfully followed Obama and Binen’s crime spree are now facing prosecution.
This is a must win for Obama and Biden in a last ditch effort to save his loyal staff from the rope. Nothing to do with Obama’s “era” in any nostalgic or historical sense.
Prison is what’s on the menu today.
Barry (baraq) is in a vise.
He has to promote Slo Joe in order to conceal his crimes, but he is also drawing attention to himself and the crimes he committed.
Lose/Lose for him.
If he skips the country, then we will know that the DOJ of on his ass.
Dollars to donuts Obungo flees to a non-extraditable Mooslim excrement-hole when Trump wins his second term.
Obozo might not even be in America when the votes are counted this November.
If President Trump is re elected, Obozo might want to be out of America and ready to fly to his new home for 4+ years.
Obama is still butt hurt Trump won 2016. It means Barack’s legacy of “fundamental transformation of the United States was rejected.
Obama set the stage for Trump. He thinks he can undo that.
( See Andrew Guillum former Dem Florida gubernatorial candidate )
It would suit me fine if the POTUS ordered the black ops extrajudicial slaying of the treasonous former POSTUS .I woukd celebrate !
Sniff...sniff...smell...what’s that stink? Smells like desperation!
Well there's the game controller, how he got Bin Laden..
But the next democrat extremist who gets elected will go after all the Trump children and the Trump organization.
Is the headline implying that Biden has no idea what’s going on?
Because that sounds accurate to me.
0bama is doing everything that he can do to help Quid pro Joe to lose.
I still say Obama was airbrushed or photoshopped into that group photo. This was supposedly the day Osama Bin Laden was ‘killed’.
Jury still out on that event, and the subsequent
‘burial at sea’. We may never know what really took place.
Then there was that helicopter full of Seals that unfortunately crashed, killing everyone aboard.
That copter incident NEVER sounded accidental to me. It was just too convenient to the Dems.
i would like that
My thoughts exactly. Obie From Nairobi probably has a bolthole waiting for him if Trump gets a second term. And Trump is playing him like a fiddle - the Halfrican has a narcissistic streak in him bigger than most, and by him choosing to joust with Trump, it’s sucking a lot of the air out of the room that Biden needs. Not that I think Biden would make good use of it, but he’s relegated to sitting on the bench as long as Jug Ears stays on the field.
He cares whether Biden wins, that wasnt the case with Hillary, Mr. McKenna said.
Is that a joke? Obama started a coup.
Occam’s Razor
Obama doesn’t want to go to prison and he is obligated to do everything possible to make sure his under boss’ and soldiers don’t go either.
If Trump wins, the under-bosses and soldiers give him up. The whole enchilada is exposed.
That is why the election is so important to the left.
Schiff, Pelosi, Nadler couldn’t get it done and were so desperate in their attempts because they are in legal jeopardy as well.
They need Trump’s taxes to fabricate crimes to get him impeached again or indicted.
They need Mueller’s interviews to fabricate crimes and get him impeached again or indicted.
They need people to die and inflated death tolls to persuade the low information crowd it is all Trump’s fault.
They need an investigation into Trump’s “malfeasance” to get him impeached again.
This entire 4 year drama can be boiled down to one word:
Prison
Obama was never eligible.
The only reason he ever got into the White House was the cooperation of the GOP.
The GOP has had to not only cover up his crimes, but undermine a President of their own party to keep their complicity hidden.
