Why is Obama Always Operating ‘Behind the Scenes’?
Front Page Magazine ^ | October 22, 2025 | Daniel Greenfield

"Obama maneuvered behind the scenes to fight Trump"

When Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to express an opinion on gerrymandering, he issued public statements and gave interviews. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Trump certainly have been pretty clear about their positions. So have most elected officials.

So why do we get this?

How Obama maneuvered behind the scenes to fight Trump on redistricting – Washington Post

Why does Obama have to maneuver behind the scenes? He’s a former president. The most popular and prominent ex-president that the Democrats have. His name recognition is pretty much universal.

So why all is maneuvering ‘behind the scenes’?

It’s a good question because this is a pattern with Obama. Instead of confronting Biden, he maneuvers behind the scenes, props up George Clooney to put out a takedown of Biden’s senility, then he maneuvers behind the scenes some more to try and block Kamala from becoming the nominee.

In every election that’s he’s not the nominee, he works behind the scenes to get the nominee, Hillary or Biden, to cut a deal with the party’s left-wing, resulting in the horrendous Biden administration. But he doesn’t do it out in the open.

Obama makes a big show of not issuing public statements until he’s ‘ready to speak out’ at which point we’re supposed to be very impressed with his ‘this is not who we are’ speech delivered in the grave monotone of an insurance salesman to give us the impression that he’s been sitting on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, he’s ‘behind the scenes’.

Who does this? Why does Obama play this game so often? It bespeaks a ‘manipulative’ mindset, one that is inward-facing, not public-facing, deeply dishonest and contemptuous of people, not to mention democracy, and obsessed with controlling them from behind the scenes.

He is trying to stay out of prison. It’s that simple. What he is doing is clear treason and I have called for his arrest and trial many times.

His history of dope, CIA connected grandparents, homosexuality, and concealing his citizenship taught him to be a sneak.

Next question...

It’s ingrained in all communists. It’s the heart of the system.

It’s called “being on the down low”.

He works behind the scenes because he wants to “the power behind the throne” like his role under creepy gropin’ pedo slowjoe. He & nanacy pigLIESi work behind the scenes pulling the demoncRAT strings.

Because he’s a weak-kneed sissy homo. That’s why. Weak and pathetic men never attack straight on, they’re getting paid fight like women. From the sidelines with snide comments and actions. Never straight on. Weak.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam and leftism.

From the Comments section of Frontpage: Rich Kozlovich says, He does it behind the scenes because he can then deny what he’s done and even take a different position. He’s foundationally a back stabbing psychopath.

Good article about a bad person, by an excellent writer, with an interesting comment by a reader..

Because when he was President, it was Valerie Jarrett who was "behind the scenes" propping up Obama.
