The publication of Barack Obama’s new memoir Tuesday was timed to carry the news cycle regardless of the election’s outcome. The opinions expressed in “A Promised Land”—on America, race, Donald Trump, and so on—are more vivid than anything the Democratic candidate has said in his last year of campaigning. And so even after Joe Biden and the press corps have declared him President-elect, he continues to walk in the shadow of his former boss.
That is intentional. Obama wants it understood that Biden is an avatar for a third Obama term. Now he can complete the work of “fundamentally transforming America,” as he put it days before the 2008 election. Hillary Clinton was expected to at least protect what she inherited from Obama. But the victory of Trump, who had campaigned on undoing Obama’s domestic and foreign policy initiatives, left the outgoing president with only two options—watch his successor dismantle his legacy or stop him.
The coup is evidence of his choice. The senior U.S. officials, Democratic party operatives, and media personalities who targeted the Trump circle for four years weren’t simply defending the privileges of the “Deep State.” These are bureaucrats, deputies, and courtiers who would not dare an attempt that bold unless it was ok’d from above. The purpose of the coup was to block Trump from destroying Obama’s legacy until he could find an opening for him to return.
In a sense, Obama never left. He was the first president in a century to stay in Washington after the end of his term. Woodrow Wilson had suffered a stroke and could not easily leave the capital. Obama explained that he and the first lady wanted their youngest daughter to graduate from her private high school before they moved on. Their child entered the University of Michigan last fall but with the 2020 election cycle underway, the de facto leader of the Democratic party wasn’t going anywhere.
In political circles, it was no secret that Obama had thrown his support behind Kamala Harris. She is ambitious and appealing and, without any strong ideas or opinions of her own, poses no threat to him. She was Obama’s ideal heir, but primary voters found her fake and unlikeable, and she was out of the race in early December. He’d find a way to restore her, but in the meantime needed a horse to ride through the primaries.

Big Ears croaking would be an unexpected but wonderful blessing he surely is working behind the scenes again to usurp all that is good about America.
"Behind the Scenes, Obama Never Left."
Obama wants it understood that Biden is an avatar for a third Obama term.
Neither one was/is capable of running the country. Both were/are puppets for the people doing the actual 'presidenting'.
Obama was PINO, and Biden is currently PEINO.
The Kenyanesian Usurper isn’t done destroying the country.
Not one bit of self reflection as to how and why Trump was elected.
He tried to have rallies and NOBODY showed. He’s not popular at all. Just with the evil lying whore jezebel media
No real people give a crap what that asswipe says
He sure seems to be talking a lot in the last two weeks. Who asked his opinion?
Not on my watch! The Kenyan Usurper/Mulatto MF will have those big ears shorn, one way or another. Others too, will be stopped, if men of good faith and training are up to the task of eliminating an adversary.
I always assumed he was hanging around in some tree with a pretty apple in his hand.

Vampires doen’t look into mirrors.
Barry’s just a sock puppet.
Deep State never left.
The One Worlders have built what they have built.. a towering pile of interconnected slimeballs that have no problem selling any country or person or principle out just to be the shot-callers.
They’re so much more brilliant than you or I, yaknow.
The Dorseys, Zuckerbergs, Clintons, Bloombergs. Yup, all blessed with superior intelligence and no moral compassion for anyone, even their own employees who they treat like caged dogs.
