(T)he idea Obama was no longer concerned with power or involved with power was itself part of a new set of myths being woven by and around the ex-president. First, the Obamas never left town. Instead, they bought a large brick mansion in the center of Washington’s Kalorama neighborhood...By (2019), it was clear to any informed observer that the Obamas’ continuing presence in the nation’s capital was not purely a personal matter. To an extent that has never been meaningfully reported on, the Obamas served as both the symbolic and practical heads of the Democratic Party shadow government that “resisted” Trump—another phenomenon that defied prior norms. The fact that these were not normal times could be adduced by even a passing glance at the front pages of the country’s daily newspapers, which were filled with claims that the 2016 election had been “stolen” by Russia and that Trump was a Russian agent.
That Obama might enjoy serving as a third-term president in all but name, running the government from his iPhone, was a thought expressed in public by Obama himself, both before and after he left office. “I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in, and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and I could sort of deliver the lines while someone was doing all the talking and ceremony,” he told Steven Colbert in 2015, “I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating.” Even with all these clues, the Washington press corps—fresh off their years of broadcasting fantasies about secret communications links between Trump Tower and the Kremlin—seemed unable to imagine, let alone report on, Obama’s role in government.

Lock him up.
I’m so sick and tired of the word obama. It’s like one long national nightmare.
Yep. This is Obama’s third term and Biden is just the senile figurehead.
Even the Obama claim of Chicago as a “home” was merely a ruse for creating a political base plus a funnel for graft through Big Mike’s make-work “job”.
Most interesting parts of this Tablet article on Obama:
1) Obama’s apparently Biden’s puppeteer
2) Obama wrote a letter to a girlfriend “about how he repeatedly fantasizes about making love to men.”
3) Obama lying about why his relationship ended w/ a white girlfriend
4) His biographer says, “He’s not normal—as in not a normal politician or a normal human being.”
Remember when Obama was leaving office he stated he had a shadow government of 50,000 in place to govern. I believed him then. I believe him now!!
“Hollow”, indeed. That’s why they called him the empty shirt.

Really good, but long, read about Obama by a independent historian.
