Among the many benefits of Donald Trump’s re-election that our nation and the world are already experiencing is the forever tarnished legacy of Barack Obama. In 2028, will the Democrat candidate want Obama to go on the campaign trail for him or her? I doubt it.
Obama’s Un-enduring Influence
When he was elected president (assuming that massive Democratic cheating was not in full swing in 2008), Democrats held a commanding 55- to 45-seat majority in the U.S. Senate and an overwhelming 256- to 179-seat majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
By the time Obama left office on January 20, 2017, Democrats were down nine seats in the Senate and a whopping 62 seats in the House – they lost the majority in each chamber. Among the 50 states, there were twelve fewer Democrat governors. You’d have to look back more than 95 years to see when the Democrats did so poorly at the polls on a national and state level.
For all the mainstream media blather heaped upon Obama as some kind of political savior, at the end of his two terms, he left the Democratic Party in shambles. However, he has personally benefitted financially in extraordinary ways.
Considering the “Obama effect” on the nation’s vote totals, is any sane Democrat willing to extol the virtues of his influence on the electorate?
From Puppet Master to Political Pauper
Over the last four years, among the puppet masters presiding over the Biden/Harris Administration, Obama had a nice ride. Leading up to November 5th, however, Obama knew before the rest of America that Harris was doomed. He wasn’t in on choosing her but figured he wielded significant influence, particularly among “the brothers.” So, Obama went on the campaign trail for Harris.
Did he help or hurt? Appearing in Pittsburgh, he said, “We have not seen the same energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”
Assuming that “the brothers” would vote based on race and not based on issues or credentials, Obama insulted many of those to whom he spoke.
Promoted Beyond Her Competency
It’s not hard to understand the appeal that a minority candidate, even as poor a candidate as Kamala Harris, would have in attracting minority voters. Still, one has to wonder: Were the voters Obama sought to influence willing to risk the next four years on an individual who consistently demonstrated an incapacity to lead? Would such a president be better for one’s family, community, or nation?
Harris avoided the press for more than 40 days at the start of her candidacy. She was trying to run out the clock before the masses knew much about her political views. When it became apparent that she was hiding, her handlers decided to expose her to the world. It didn’t go well. Her appearance on 60 Minutes was doctored to appear that she had given coherent answers to simple questions, which she had not.
She appeared on The View with Charlemagne tha god, with Stephen Colbert, on CNN with Anderson Cooper, and other places, fielding softball questions. When Obama hit the campaign trail, many on the Left believed that magic was in store, but Obama, who couldn’t pull the rabbit out of that hat by the end of his two terms, actually lost ground for Harris.
Pre-Scripted and Lame
As a significant percentage of black male voters across the nation and a notable number of black female voters began to recognize that Harris had been over-sold by the media, Obama’s appeal was seen as more of the same: a strained over-sell of a questionable candidate.
In a nation facing a sea of troubles, with a person who was second in command in the current Presidential administration, Obama’s gambit was to chastise black men for not wanting to cast their votes accordingly.
The clincher, not Obama’s fault, occurred when Harris was asked on The View if she would have changed anything Biden/Harris did over the last four years. She said, “Not a thing comes to mind.”
The Next Time Around
If you’re the Democrat running for POTUS in 2028, who are you gonna call to step up to the plate for you? Biden will be gone, Harris ought to be a non-entity, and Obama will be ineffectual.
As for Obama’s legacy? Beyond being the first African-American president, nothing seems to be in store.
Fundamentally transforming the definition of a “Community Organizer.”
Many YouTube clips have young black video influencers calling out Obama as an example of how Marxists manipulate others for political power and huge payouts.
The Left always forgets: What goes online, stays online.
Obama is the most evil man in America – and one of Satan’s chief
emissaries. He will never stop working behind the scenes to destroy
this country. He will work relentlessly for oppressive Marxism to
devour America and all it stands for.
Our Earthly leader is President Trump but our spiritual leader is
Jesus Christ. Two-thousand years ago, Jesus told ordinary Jews
living hardscrabble lives under Roman oppression that God loves
each individual uniquely and knows when they sin. It would be
almost impossible today for the average American to explain the
concept of DNA to those ancient Jews who did not understand the
purpose of a liver or kidneys or a nervous system, etc. Yet the idea
of individuality before God resonated with them – and still resonates
with the modern mind. Including – today – that individuality requires
liberty to thrive, as opposed to being submerged into a Marxist
collective run by a group of people known as the “State”.
Obama’s evil legacy has been tarnished – but he will fight back. The
one thing he has learned now through Donald J. Trump’s re-election
is that so will we.
Eloquent and beautifully written! I totally believe all this. And at the end, though, I think Obammy has a few more lessons to come in the face of him scoffing about how Mr. Trump could never be President. I love the last laugh here.
The man is 63 years old, and by Trump and even Biden standards, still has another 20 years left to fight in him.` Or that he was the only former president to maintain a home in the DC area, to run his default government of bogus “advisers” and and aides such as VALARIE JARETT.
Or, How to keep a bad president in power.
And add to that the endless recitations of “deeply affacted” transgenders ranting like petulant 5 year olds who just learned the dread “F**K” word, and their endless rants about the impending end of civilization as we know it.
My, won’t they be surprised to discover that in such a post apoclyptic world, that “transgender” will have less value than typhoid.
God how I love reading Obama political obituaries.
Beginning with the Clintons, the 30 year grift of the radicalized commie Jihadi DemoCrats has finally come to an end. It continued with the fundamental transformation of grifter No.2, gay Muslim Barry Soetoro. It finally crashed and burned with Demented Biden. Each iteration was worse than what went before. Each iteration needed propping up from an increasingly corrupt “press”.
Can you imagine what a Hilary presidency would have looked like? A scandal du jour. Fortunately Trump won against her and we got to see what normalcy looked like albeit for four years. Otherwise it would have been continuous scandal and grift, through Clinton, Obama and Biden into the Harris admin. Grift-a-palooza.
Thank God Harris was so monumentally awful as a candidate. Back to normalcy and greatness with Trump 2.0.
When you have spent the better part of 30 years engaging in the identity politics grift, I don’t know where you go when you get whacked at the polls
Back to Martha’s Vineyard where he and Michelle will comfortably live off of his grifting largess.
Barry thought publicly chastising Black men and putting them in their place ((stay in the plantation)hi
they would follow their former “master”. place is in the political dust bin.
Unfortunately, Barry belongs in the dust bin of life. Stay there Barry, nobody wants you ANYMORE!
My apology for the typos; so irritating!!
Well, I hope you are right but I doubt it. Even with such a lousy admin and a super bad candidate, over 74M voted for her and a lot of House Dems as well.
Hopefully though they try to reform a bit, but not sure they will. They need to kick the commies out, Bernie and the Squad and all other anti-American weirdos, Schumer, Pelosi and others. I fear that despite such a poor party that they are still that close to winning it all back, with the same crowd. So the GOP needs to get it right again and again and again to stave them off.
Obama had 60 seats in the Senate, not 55. His supermajority was filibuster-proof.
He caused huge destruction to America by forcing his “transgender” agenda into the schools, and forcing his abortion agenda into as many places as he could. (Remember Hobby Lobby?)
Here’s Barack channeling his inner hero – and his Uncle Jeremiah’s too!
Obama has Three really big Propane Tanks at his home in Martha’s Vineyard and lives close to the Shore what ever happened with Global Warming/Climate Change?!
Why do people constantly call Obama an African American and never a European American or to get the actual Race correct, a Bi Racial American as I always notice that if one Parent is a Negro and the other a Caucasian then the child is called black., thereby totally dismissing the other part of their DNA, so is that not discrimination or even disrespect.
Thats seems rather racist and down right weird as even Obama himself said he got his brains from his Mother, who was a European American 100% and his Father was a drunk from East Africa.
So if the actual Race of the person is worth noticing and mentioning then I suggest you get the Race correct.
Obama was a Born Again Christian that changed his actual Christian name to a full on islamic one once he embraced Jesus as his Lord and savior…So how come the islamists didn’t put a fatwa on him for leaving islam as he was a muslim in Indonesia.. let that sink in.
