The author \u2062criticizes Obama&#8217;s passive response to \u200cGeorge Clooney&#8217;s suggestion that Biden should abandon his reelection bid, portraying it as a failure to support his former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-criminal-investigation-ramps-up-over-attempts-to-overturn-2020-election\/\" title=\"Intensified probe into election overturn attempts.\">vice\u200d president<\/a>. The piece argues that Obama\u2019s actions during this \u200dtime \u2063contributed to an\u200d embarrassing \u2062situation for \u200dthe Democratic Party, \u200bsuggesting that his\u200b legacy\u200b may ultimately be viewed\u200d negatively in light of recent events.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>As desperate, phony, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/23\/in-the-final-stretch-of-the-campaign-kamala-gets-very-small-and-very-dangerous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dangerous of a campaign<\/a> Democrats ran this year, and as embarrassing as the outcome was for all of them, nobody came out looking more pathetic than Barack Obama. From 2024&rsquo;s vantage point, is there any way to look at his legacy but as a tragic blight on American history?<\/p>\n<p>In the final months of the campaign, Obama seemed to know the outcome of the election would say just as much about him as it would about Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or Donald Trump. And, like all realistic Democrats, he knew that the nominee he supported was on track to lose. His behavior in those days was nothing short of appalling.<\/p>\n<p>Obama first stood by and said nothing when George Clooney, who I had no idea was Democrat royalty, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/11\/fraud-george-clooney-delivers-most-unconvincing-performance-yet-in-biden-op-ed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> in The New York Times that Biden should give up his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/campaign-2024-an-early-look-at-the-possible-republican-contenders\/\" title=\"Campaign 2024: An Early Look At The Possible Republican Contenders\">reelection campaign<\/a>, as if there was some obvious plan as to what the party would do in that event. Obama did nothing and said nothing as his former vice president was squeezed out, and then he offered what should go down in Democrat history as the most <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/26\/heres-how-the-media-are-lying-right-now-everything-is-fine-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">uncomfortable, underwhelming endorsement<\/a> a former president has ever offered a subsequent nominee. Obama participated in a highly staged phone call with Harris and, with all the enthusiasm of a mortician, told her, &ldquo;It appears that people feel very strongly that you need to be our nominee.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It never got any better, and it climaxed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/charliekirk11\/status\/1844533536621310093\/video\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shocking display<\/a> of Obama belittling black men. Because he shared in their race (somewhat), Obama felt they should do as he said. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses,&rdquo; he told them to their faces with his arms crossed and brow furrowed. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve got a problem with that because part of it makes me think &mdash; and I&rsquo;m speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">men directly<\/a> now &mdash; part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren&rsquo;t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.&rdquo; Obama literally wagged his finger to tell these grown men, &ldquo;That&rsquo;s not acceptable. This shouldn&rsquo;t even be a question.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>If that weren&rsquo;t crazed enough, he then trotted out wife Michelle to further nag male voters. &ldquo;So fellas,&rdquo; she said <a href=\"https:\/\/transcripts.cnn.com\/show\/cnr\/date\/2024-10-26\/segment\/06\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">at a rally in Michigan<\/a>, &ldquo;before you cast your votes ask yourselves what side of history do you want to be on.&rdquo; She said male &ldquo;rage&rdquo; is what could cost Democrats the election. &ldquo;If we don&rsquo;t get this election right,&rdquo; she nagged, &ldquo;your wife, your daughter, your mother &mdash; we as women will become collateral damage to your rage. So are you men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them that you supported this assault on our safety?&rdquo; (Can we get one of those overpaid consultants to advise <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/08\/18\/nikki-haley-is-hillary-2-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">women in politics<\/a> that there&rsquo;s nothing frank or authentic about referring to men as &ldquo;fellas?&rdquo;)<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, Democrat men have never been accused of being too manly, but it remains a mystery as to who came up with the idea to browbeat them into voting for Kamala. If it was Obama&rsquo;s idea, man has he lost his magic. And if it wasn&rsquo;t his idea, man has he lost his magic.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Hope and change&rdquo; became, &ldquo;Do what mommy and daddy said.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Then Trump won decisively, the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote. It&rsquo;s the second time Trump defeated the Obama-backed candidate and the second chance Trump has to reverse the havoc Obama and his legacy have wrought.<\/p>\n<p>Consider that Obama&rsquo;s supreme legislative achievement was a health insurance industry overhaul. The ultimate result has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/blog\/health-insurance-costs-are-increasing-markets-become-more-concentrated-fewer-insurance-companies-interactive-map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">higher prices and fewer insurance options<\/a>. Obama supported Hillary Clinton as his successor, discouraging Biden. She was ended by Trump. In 2020, Biden became the Democrat nominee with the eventual support of Obama, only to preside over breakouts of foreign conflict, hyperinflation, rampant crime, and unmitigated chaos at the southern border, none of which was inevitable but in fact instigated by Biden&rsquo;s agenda. Now voters are once again turning to Trump, the man who made his entry into the Obama-era of politics by demanding proof of Obama&rsquo;s birth certificate, which Obama, the sitting president of the United States, responded to by publishing it. Sad!<\/p>\n<p>America is done with him. Obama was 2024&rsquo;s biggest loser.<\/p>\n<hr><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obama&#8217;s legacy appears as a tragic blemish on history<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2384942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Barack-Obama.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[39321,47641,47642],"class_list":["post-2384941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-2024election","tag-barackobama","tag-biggestloser"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Barack-Obama.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2384941"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384941\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2384945,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384941\/revisions\/2384945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2384942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2384941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2384941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2384941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
