Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have been slammed by his biographer for 'talking down' to voters in 'tone-deaf and clueless' preaching that harmed Kamala Harris' ill-fated presidential campaign. The effect was so bad that – combined with Donald Trump's victory – it is likely to reduce the 44th president's political relevance to 'Bill Clinton levels', David Garrow said in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com. 'People do not want to be talked down to, no matter who they are,' the 71-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner said.

Since Biden was unable to govern, everyone thought Obama was the "wizard " behind the curtain. If that is the case, Obama's legacy was totally destroyed on Nov. 5. No one pays attention to him or Michele any more. They are has-beens. It's time for the MSM to understand that.

Obama's alleged legacy dissolved while he was still in office. The debacle and lies over Obamacare, the Goebbels-like Affordable Care Act, the blatant support of terrorism and his communist and muslim tendencies made him a failed president and a joke in everyone's mind except for his worshiping masses. His condescending attitude and lack of masculinity will forever brand him as a weenie with big ears. His fragile ego, which kept him living in Washington for the next eight years to "finish the job" seals his deal forever. Obama is the "second biggest loser."

You have to remember that BO was NEVER any good about campaigning for anyone but himself. It's all about his EGO! His performance for Kamala was not surprising, especially since he didn't want her to be the candidate in the first place. His scolding was not new either. When things aren't going his way he can downright nasty. It was nice for BO to wipe himself off the stage. The Leftist place that Biden took the country was where BO WANTED to go but he knew he wouldn't get reelected if he did. Turns out he was right, Biden/Harris was kicked out. But BO stepped in the poo when he did such a lousy job. Yes, BO's legacy of corrupting the bureaucracy is about to be undone. Trump KNOWS that BO's manipulations and people need to be completely torn out. Trump's 10 step plan is a good start and Trump is VERY willing to say "You're fired" and the SCOTUS has clearly stated he is within his power to do exactly that. That will greatly diminish BO's ability to pick up the phone and call someone in the bureaucracy to start bad things happening. Whatever is left of the dem party will know his influence is diminished and, with the performance he just turned in, will be glad to wash their hands of him. Further, as Trump cleans up Washington, it will become clear as to how it was corrupted and WHO (BO) did it. Depending on what is uncovered, BO could become toxic. BO's legacy might not only be erased, he may be exposed as the criminal he has been.

As far as I am concerned, Zero's legacy is assured... as the most Destructive pResident in American history. His own actions and those of his puppet the HairSniffer, did immeasurable harm to America, and the proposed actions of his follow-on puppet HeelZup, may have tipped America into a decline from which it could not recover. As it is, Trump and his team have quite a job on their hands, everywhere they look. Let us ALL pitch in as we can, in ways great and small, to restore America to, as Ronaldus Maximus described it, "The Shining City on the Hill".

History records this of the famous Nixon Watergate scandal. In the summer of 1972, as an American presidential election featuring incumbent Republican President Richard Nixon and Democrat Senator George McGovern swirled, two young, green Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein by name, learned of a break-in at Washington’s Watergate Hotel and office complex. A break-in at the offices of the Democratic National Committee. Neither was happy at their new assignment that had them looking into this. It was too much like the run-of-the-mill petty crimes each had already spent time investigating. Besides, the two had never worked together on a story before.

President Trump knew legal challenges would be filed against his policies and executive orders. He’s prepared, and his team is willing to fight every frivolous lawsuit and unlawful order, especially the ones issued by rogue district judges. He should ignore the rulings, but he won’t; the administration plans to go through the appeals process, as annoying as that may be for rulings that clearly show judges are violating the separation of powers. The president has an attorney general who is in his corner, too. His latest directive to Ms. Pam Bondi is to investigate the legions of anti-Trump attorneys and their law firms

Sometimes you just have to shake your head.

While they did get one thing right, the balance of their advice was pretty ludicrous. On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, the panel had few ideas on what theme Democrats should run on.

The grants were frozen in January, shortly after President Trump was inaugurated, but were unfrozen at some time thereafter. This new round of questions is the second time the universities were queried, but this time, it has their attention.

Leaving aside the obvious fact that American taxpayers shouldn’t be funding any foreign universities, it is amusing to note how leftist foreign leaders with a track record of sneering at and criticizing Americans are suddenly panicked by the loss of American money, either via grant terminations or tariffs. Apparently we were supposed to be the world‘s wallet endlessly, no matter how much other nations abused and used us.
