Barack Obama, an old-fashioned ward boss, orchestrates the president’s removal.
Democracy took a devastating hit on Sunday when President Biden withdrew from the presidential race. Along the way, he got it wrong. It isn’t Donald Trump who is an existential threat to our democracy. It’s Barack Obama.
In the old-school way of Chicago backroom politics, Mr. Obama was the conductor of the band that successfully orchestrated the removal of the presidential candidate chosen by more than 14 million Democratic primary voters—to be replaced by someone he and the party bosses choose instead. It’s classic ward-boss tactics.
I’ve known Mr. Obama since 1995. We both grew up in Chicago politics. We understand how it works—with the bosses over the people. Mr. Obama learned the lessons well. And what he just did to Mr. Biden is what political bosses have been doing in Chicago since the 1871 fire—selections masquerading as elections.

While today’s Democratic bosses may look different from the old-time cigar-chomping guy with a pinky ring, they operate the same way: in the shadows of the backroom. Mr. Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the rich donors—the Hollywood and Silicon Valley elites—are the new bosses of today’s Democratic Party. They call the shots. The voters, most of them working people, are there to be lied to, manipulated and controlled.
All along, Mr. Biden and the Democratic politicians have been claiming that this year’s presidential race is about “saving democracy.” They are the biggest hypocrites in American political history.

Mr. Biden’s withdrawal proves something even more sinister. They’ve been lying to us the whole time. The president’s unfitness to run for re-election today didn’t just happen. The Democrats have been covering it up for a long time.

The Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month will provide the perfect backdrop and place for Mr. Obama to finish the job and choose his candidate, not the voters’ candidate. Democracy, no. Chicago ward-boss politics, yes.
No one can be surprised by this. He IS the head of the Deep State with funding provided by Soros. Our first clue: he is the only President in the history of this Republic not to leave DC at the end of their term.
The rank and file will line up in rows and columns.

Interesting. What’s in this for him? Revenge?
Well, with luck, maybe the whole affair will tarnish Obama enough where he loses control of the party. I suspect the Clinton wing is trying to force the Obamas out and Obama responded by self-anointing Holder to vet the VP.

Trump commuted Blago’s prison sentence in 2020. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but he does give some insight into Obama’s inner workings.
Obama couldn’t orchestrate a dog fight. He’s a figurehead just like Biden. Find out who’s operating the strings of both of these puppets.
The Biden family will get back at the plotters... if it is the last thing they do. How? At the Dem convention, Joe, Jill and Hunter will walk on stage with MAGA hats and tell everybody to vote for Trump. They will have to forcefully remove them from the stage.
That would be something.
Yes, indeed. If he is still alive by then, he might have a change of heart about Trump and all the sin he is covered in... or at the least, do it to get even.
Thanks.
He'd love to but my guess the "plotters" have plenty on Biden, and not just the 25th amendment. His best leverage to stay in office now is the risk of him pardoning his family and himself before the election. If he wanted to be really nasty, he'd pardon Kamala, BHO and Hillary too, for something.
Thanks. Don’t think we can post articles from there though.
