Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 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 Joe Biden lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere.
Barack 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

B.O., the worst thing to happen to the US since the 1860's.

You can call this a failed Presidency. From Barack the Destroyer's perspective (to tear this country and all that made it good down) it has been a rousing success.

What "Obama mystique"? Many of us knew he was a charlatan from Day 1--and a pathetic one at that!

The incredible shrinking BO. And the best thing is that his enormous ego has nowhere to go! He's becoming ... a hasbeen. With his influence gone, he is now worried about accountability. Maybe treason?

Obama has handlers of his own and I assume they are none too happy with him right about now. How much did they pay him because of promises he made to them that he wasn't able to keep? It's a good bet that these handlers are part of an unsavory cabal and now he's accountable to them. I think that justice will find 0; the question is if the justice comes via our legal system or from those to whom he's sold his soul.

I never saw any "mystique" only a community organizer who was a racist and money grubber, and who had no history, all fabricated and fake. The more we learned about him, the more I was certain that he was a fraud and a liar, and Marxist trying to destroy the country.
No mystique, just fraud.

Where are the multimillion dollar funds coming from to maintain his four mansions in four very different parts of the country? Employees, household expenses, landscaping, security, etc? Private planes, ground transportation? Daughters' expenses? Chicago Pres.
'Liebary'? Like the Bidens & Clintons, now that their usefulness has evaporated who can they turn to continue to fund their worthless lavish lifestyles? They don't seem like the 'downsizing' types.

Another reason the GOP and RNC need to maintain constant pressure and hold all accountable for the actions of the past 10 years, in particular.
Make sure it's known and exposed for one and all to see.
Clear the air on all of the bogus investigations against President Trump and other Republicans associated with him which Sen. Fetterman knows were all political.
It's why the Clown News Network is in such dismal condition now - the people know they were lied to and gaslighted for years.
Same with the More Schiff N bull crap watching their ratings go down in the toilet too - same group was lied to and gaslighted for years.

#7 is correct. Just another example of media malfeasance. If they were honest, they would have investigated the truth like a cat going after a mouse but that would have disqualified their chosen one.

Obama Madness is more like it. He tried to impose Communism, Universal Healthcare for deadbeats, Gun Control, Affirmative Action and Wealth Redistribution while desecrating both the American Flag and the rainbow. All of that while preaching how evil the white folks were. My most enjoyable moment in the entire eight years was when they brought the Affordable Healthcare website up and it crashed like a dying buzzard.

Little 0bie gets littler and littler every day.
Soon he'll be able to walk through mosquito net openings - - just like the Incredible Shrinking Man did - - and vanish completely from human history.

Obama pulled Joe's strings, but there is a cabal pulling Obama's strings. He's not even that "smooth" of a talker -- the press propped him up at every turn and made him sound and look much better than he was/is. I'm convinced Bill Ayers and his fellow travelers are the ones who pulled his strings for YEARS and may still be, but I also think Valerie Jarrett is a big player in this as well, which makes sense because she has direct connections to Iran, which explains why Obama was always willing to side with Iran/Russia/Syria.

Think back to 2008. How many of us out here were fooled by that empty-suit POS?

There isn't a bit of doubt what has been happening these past four years...and why all of them are scrambling for pardons....especially Barack HUSSEIN Obama...he was in charge behind the Oval Office drapes...he called all the shots and sent munchkins in to do his dirty work...like winkin...blinkin.and nod....maorcas the border security dude....Obama has a problem with white folks...and he wanted to thin out the white Americans...and adding all these illegal aliens was just the ticket...

Dimocrat loyalists would argue why would a president do these things to the country he lives in. The answer is he is a muslim who above all consider the US and Israel the spawn of the devil. Obama never has to worry about all of these attacks on our country because with his wealth he can stay beyond the hardships that the peasants face. The dimocrat loyalists still believe obama deserves a place on Mt Rushmore.
