Former President Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for
the 2020 Joe Biden nomination — and thereafter played the whispering
puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years.

As such he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in
American history.

Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Biden lost the first three
2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere.

Obama and fellow Democratic insiders abruptly engineered the withdrawal of
his rival 2020 presidential candidates: hard left but likely sure-loser candidates, including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete
Buttigieg.

The Obamas ignored or withheld from the public their own firsthand
knowledge that Biden was suffering from signs of dementia.

Instead, they found Biden’s cognitive decline and his former concocted reputation as workingman’s Joe useful as a veneer for a veritable Obama third-term, “phone it in” administration. Or as wistful Obama once
conditioned his dream of a third term — “If I could make an arrangement
where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an
earpiece in.”

The Obamaites then got their wish for four years of enacted hard-left directives that they could only have dreamed of while in actual power.

But their radical menu since 2021 had divided and nearly wrecked the
nation — hyperinflation, 12 million illegal aliens, a ruined border,
spiraling crime, a shattered foreign policy of appeasement, the popular backlash against DEI/Woke/trans chauvinism, partisan lawfare, and
weaponization of the government.

And the ruling radicalism beneath the Biden facade eventually cost the Democrats nearly everything — the presidency, the House, and the Senate.

An inert Biden is departing office with a 36 percent favorability rating
in a recent Emerson poll. His Democratic nominee replacement, losing presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, also has virtually
vacated her office with 40 days left of her tenure.

Failed candidate Harris has been roundly faulted by staffers and donors
for blowing through some $2 billion in assorted 2024 campaign money.

She ended up doing worse against Trump than Biden himself had in 2020.

Many Democrats believe that they might have done just as well had Biden
stayed on the ticket even in his vastly diminished state.

The Obamas were further blasted for nullifying the wishes of 14 million
primary voters by forcing Biden off the ticket — ironically in the same backroom, anti-democratic manner they had cleared the way for him in 2020.

Obama emerged from his comfortable retirement to hit the 2024 campaign
trail, schooling the country that President-emeritus Donald Trump was a dictator, a fascist, a tyrant, and, of course, a “racist.”

The more Trump polled even with, or ahead of, Kamala Harris, the more an exasperated and ignored Obama talked down to supposedly low-information
voters.

But by the time Harris lost the election, voters had tuned out a nagging
and patronizing Obama — and his stale, now-dated hope-and-change
boilerplate speeches.

What Obama did not mention, but what the voters knew, was that the border
was more secure under Trump than during either the Obama or Biden tenure.

Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded countries during the Obama and
Biden administrations but stayed put on Trump’s watch.

Obama’s bizarre vision of a new Middle East had sought to empower Iran as
a supposed counterweight against moderate Arab nations and our ally
Israel.

Years ago, Obama invited the Russians into Syria, empowered dictatorial
Syria, berated Israel nonstop, and all but ignored the violence of Iran’s surrogate terrorists: Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.

But after October 7, Israel retaliated to the mass slaughter of Jewish civilians with all-out war against Hamas and Hezbollah — rendering these
once feared terrorists nearly impotent.

In an exchange of air attacks with Iran, Israel showed the world that Iran
was as militarily weak as its chanting and threats were tiresome and
shrill.

Iran is now tottering on the brink, as its terrorist appendages —
including most recently the Assad dynasty — are melting away.

Israel and the moderate Arab regimes are in ascendance, as the entire
crazy Obama-envisioned Middle East agenda melts away.

The 2024 anemic Democratic campaign and the Trump electoral college and
popular vote victories — combined with record defections of Hispanic and African-American voters from the Democratic Party to Trump — proved a resounding rejection of the Obama legacy and his surrogates’ left-wing
visions.

Yet after the people spoke in the election, the more Obama whined that democracy itself had failed him. Voters, he remonstrated, who disagreed
with him were written off as racist and sexist.

Obama again harped that constituents did not know what was good for them.

And then, the disappointed former community organizer suddenly disappeared
— pondering to which of his own four mansions his private jet would fly
him home to commiserate.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
