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

Two nuts in need of a squirrel to dispose of them. Poison nuts. Disgusting nuts, except to The Gullibles who are not yet red pilled.

Not the 0bama era, but the 0bama error. (Of course that phrase is not my coinage, but it sums up twelve years of disaster.)
PS: When will it be revealed, beyond any doubt, that 0bama was not born in the United States?

FTA: "His Democratic nominee replacement, losing presidential candidate Vice President Harris, also has virtually vacated her office with 40 days left of her tenure."
Oh? I hadn't noticed. How has this been any different that the last 1,420 days?

I can’t believe that Biden had a 36% approval rating Does that mean almost 4 out 10 Americans are drooling idiots?

People have access to many more forms of information than they did just 12 or 15 years ago.
The scheme used by Obama to fool the press is gone where they used town hall type venues with the campaign managing and controlling the press, or any follow up questions, which would enable the campaign to give the messaging THEY wanted to convey without the press filtering it.
The press thought they were being given access to an event but they were simply being used by the campaign.
It was all smoke and mirrors in the hopes of fundamentally transforming the country into something very different than the Greatest Country on Earth.

The "obama mystique" is just a polite description of the line of BS that squirted from his purple lips every time he opened them. I have known used-car salesmen who were more convincing and believable.

Thank goodness that people finally have seen how massively destructive The Zero and his evil minions have been. I never could see how people couldn't tell that Obama was a lying, destructive, anti-American person. But he fooled a lot of people, still does fool some.

What mystique? Do you remember; “All I ask is for you to believe in yourself, believe in this campaign and believe in this dream we call America”? What fluff…says nothing at all. That was the first thing I heard from him, it told me all I needed.

Rush and all of his followers saw right through Obozo and the media in 2008. We knew who and what he was. There was never any mystique around this guy if anyone had the intelligence to look.

The only mystique Obama had was a DEI push from the media.

The left media supplicated themselves to Barack, 100%. Probably still do.

It took the ' beer summit' incident for me to understand he was a flaming racist and POS.
Obama proved it every day thereafter.

Obama's biggest mistake was thinking that Joe would agree to go along with him.
He might have been a toady during O's two terms, but Joe probably also thought that he was the reason Barack won the Whitehouse.
Once Joe got his crown he was in charge. Obama's advice probably made Joe do exactly the opposite.
Obama's "fundamental changes" are about to end--something he realized too late.

obama, the failure we knew he always was. That's what you get from community organizers and people who ain't never run nothing. Even with handlers he fails like a mug. Or maybe he had handlers then told them he could take it from there after he left the office he stole. Tearing stuff is so easy a third grader can do it. And that's about the extent of obie's capabilities. Apologies to third graders.

An accurate review of all the horrors that Barrack the Fraud has inflicted upon this nation. Perhaps the most saddening and disgusting part of this litany was that 35% of people still support Traitor Joe. That is pretty difficult to grasp.

People don't like it when you lie to their face. When Obama pulled the ol "good people on both sides" bs Rogan lost all respect for him as did many others.
That documented bs has red pilled many a former dem who take it personally when you treat them like a fool and they only have to play the video 10 more seconds to see it.

Obama lost his "mystique" because freedom loving Americans were able to see him as the Community Disorganizer that he really is.

Yep, VDH pretty much sums up Obie's legacy, if that is the correct term. A black eye on this nation of ours. And the coverup it took to make this Kenyan "eligible" to run for president in 08 is most galling to say the least.

I realized exactly what 0bama was during the 2008 campaign when he referred to the grandmother who largely raised him as “a typical white person”.

I'm with you poster #2...Barack HUSSEIN Obama was NOT born in America and should never have been president...and his grannie was in the room when he was born in Kenya...so it seems some democrat operatives decided to falsify his birth certificate from America...and the real birth certificate from Kenya is out there waiting to be shown to the world....perhaps that's why he's so nervous about President Trump...because it is rumored he has the original....

hmmm...still waiting for any news of the doctor who signed BHO's "original" birth certificate with the name, "Uka Lele," or how he managed to print it using a Microsoft type font that was not yet in existence.
