For someone as loquacious as Barack Obama, the current Democratic primary race must be almost painful to endure. The ex-president has said he would refrain from sticking his nose into likely the largest intramural party competition in recent memory, featuring two dozen candidates at one point. His former vice presidential partner, Joe Biden, was the longtime front-runner who faded and then

Obama and his husband Michelle have that brand new mansion on Martha's Vineyard so... I don't think he cares too much. They got theirs... just like in REAL Socialist countries.

Like the Clintons the Obamas cannot sink fast enough into utter obscurity for my taste.

I assumed that was going to be a done deal when he got himself elected in ‘08. By 2016, it was “fait accompli.” The Dem Party succeeded in irreversibly branding itself as far leftist as I have ever seen in my seventy plus decades. It’s just a few tweaks to full-blown communism since Bolshevik Bernie had made such amazing headway amongst the Kool-aid proletariat this election cycle. It’s really going to be a mess this time, worse than the Chicago Riots in ‘68.

''Will Obama let the Democratic Party sink in the quicksand of socialism?''
I don't think there's any stopping it now, Obama or not. Free stuff, free stuff, free stuff is not a good party platform.
BTW #5, congrats on your 700+ years. :-)

THAT was the worst-edited article I have read in a long time. I was confused and I still don’t see his point.

Since he laid such a good foundation--the freaking answer is yes. He's let the dems sink into socialism to be followed by hardcore marxism. That's just who that traitor vermin is.

There is no fight quite like a fight between socialists over the spoils to be had by plundering capitalists. Does WWII ring a bell? Never mistake the resistance by a socialist against another as having a differing political position. It's when they both know they are in competition for the same prize that all hell breaks loose.
To this day the average idiot sees Hitler and Stalin as opposite ends of the political spectrum when in fact they were conjoined twins fighting over the same liver.
Do not mistake the democrat establishment's rally to stop Sanders as stopping socialism. They don't want the outsider to seize the power and spoils of totalitarian socialist rule.
Socialist intramural squabbles have been among the bloodiest in history.

Let them sink...I'm sure he's trying to figure out how to get Bernie in the White House to speed up our path to socialism.

Obama doesn't care if the country is run by witch doctors or the Gay Cartoon Characters Union as long as he already has his dacha on the beach.

Yes he would. He let the party self destruct and lose the senate didn't he? Now look at all the judges that Trump has gotten appointed. Obama has his, so he doesn't care about democrats. Fact is, I suspect he takes orders now from Soros, not the party.

If Obama said he would refrain you can be sure he is deeply involved. Who do you think got these people to call it quits a day before Super Tuesday to support Biden?

Obama’s game is to select Biden’s Vice-President who will become President after Biden rides off to a five star Florida rest home. Chances are that Obama pick will be a very liberal minority person who has not recently been on the national political scene and who could not get elected President in his or her own rite. In return Obama will endorse Biden. As the incumbent President that Obama pick would then be eligible to run for re-election in 2024 and 2028. But first Biden has to defeat Trump in the general election.

Zippy is definitely a full-on Communist. He just doesn't want to see Bernie sink the progress of stealth socialism by giving the game away.
