He’s basically running Biden’s reelection campaign because Biden and his lefist advisors are incompetent.
IMHO we deserve better than the candidates we have.
Here Comes Bathhouse Barry Obama to the Rescue!
If you’re shocked that Barack Obama has reentered the political fray lately, then you’ve forgotten just who he is.
Here’s a refresher: As recounted in a 2008 New Yorker article, Obama’s future political director, Patrick Gaspard, was interviewing for a position on the campaign in 2007 when Obama told him, matter-of-factly: “I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.”
It’s hard to imagine a more insufferable pol than Barack Obama. Despite believing that Austrian is a language and that “corpsman” is pronounced corpse man, he still thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.
And if you’re the smartest guy in the room, you’ll be damned if you’re going sit idly by while Joe Biden blows your fourth term in office and further tarnishes your legacy. Instead, you’re going to do whatever it takes to drag his carcass across the finish line on November 5. Indeed, as The New York Times put it recently: “This level of engagement illustrates Mr. Obama’s support for Mr. Biden, but also what one of his senior aides characterized as Mr. Obama’s grave concern that Mr. Biden could lose to former President Donald J. Trump. The aide, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said that Mr. Obama has ‘always’ been worried about a Biden loss. And so, the aide added, he is prepared to ‘eke it out’ alongside his former vice president in an election that could come down to slim margins in a handful of states.”
Things aren’t trending in Biden’s favor, though. The latest Fox News poll has him 17 points underwater in his approval rating, 41-58, and has Donald Trump leading him 50-45 in a two-man race. Further, Trump maintains the same five-point margin in a five-person race that includes Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Jill Stein, and Cornel West. As for the all-important battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — Trump leads Biden in every one of them according to the RealClearPolitics average.
“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up,” Obama is purported to have said of his former running mate. And we can imagine him saying that same thing again these days.
