<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nAnd yes, they can win. That\u2019s what comes next in this story if we don\u2019t stop it.<\/span><\/p>\nObama has been back in the headlines a lot recently. You\u2019ll remember that he went and read books to children with New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani. And then he sat down with Stephen Colbert on \u201cThe Late Show\u201d on CBS.<\/span><\/p>\nObama is wildly talented, so talented that every Democratic politician since the Obama era has lived in his shadow. He is charming and avuncular in his approach.<\/span><\/p>\nEven I, who think that Obama was the death of modern American politics, acknowledge how talented Barack Obama is.<\/span><\/p>\nPeople perceive Barack Obama as moderate because he is charming and because he is unthreatening to people in his affect.<\/span><\/p>\nBut Barack Obama is, was, and continues to be a radical leftist. He said Mamdani is just a normal politician who wants to fight for affordable housing. That is not true. Zohran Mamdani is an open socialist who openly sympathizes with terror groups.<\/span><\/p>\nAnd Barack Obama is hugging him and saying he\u2019s just a normal Democrat, because Zohran Mamdani and he are the same. Barack Obama is just more talented at hiding who he is and who he was.<\/span><\/p>\nObama thought of himself simultaneously as from America and also from outside America. If you read his original memoir, \u201cDreams From My Father,\u201d he talks about his identity conflict between being an American growing up in Hawaii and his father\u2019s past in Kenya, his identity as a black man, but also as a person raised by white grandparents.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat this amounts to in the end is a third-world philosophy. He best summarizes this in \u201cDreams From My Father,\u201d where, in the most revealing paragraph that Obama ever wrote, he declared:<\/span><\/p>\n\nI know I have seen the desperation and disorder of the powerless, how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago\u2019s South Side, how narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair. I know that the response of the powerful to this disorder, alternating as it does between a dull complacency and when the disorder spills out of its prescribed confines, a steady, unthinking application of force, of longer prison sentences and more sophisticated military hardware, is inadequate to the task.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nWhat he was saying was that the situation of every poor person on planet Earth, in America and outside America, lay at the foot of American capitalism and imperialism, that the desperation and disorder of the powerless should be laid at the feet of the powerful.<\/span><\/p>\nThis has been the guiding philosophy of Barack Obama for his entire career: Somehow, America is guilty of all of these crimes. Obama has always been radical.<\/span><\/p>\nThe reason I\u2019m saying this is because he is reclaiming the leadership position of the Democratic Party. He is the glue that holds that party together. He is trying to build back his coalition. He looks at the period since he was president and sees a Hillary Clinton who did not demonstrate the capacity to hold this coalition together. He sees a Joe Biden who lucked into the presidency and a Kamala Harris who was wildly untalented, and says, \u201cI can do this myself. I will put it back together, except more radical this time.\u201d That\u2019s because the Democratic Party has moved in the direction that Barack Obama set .<\/span><\/p>\nIn 2008, he suggested that the reason people opposed his radicalism politically was that they were bitterly clinging to God and guns and all of the conservative things, but somehow Barack Obama has been retconned into some sort of moderate.<\/span><\/p>\nIn 2008, he ran as a fake centrist, a racial unifier, but by 2012, he was running as a polarizing, race-centric candidate, a left-wing wrecking ball. He sued nuns to promote abortion. He forced public schools to allow boys to use girls\u2019 bathrooms. His IRS targeted political opposition. Barack Obama lied in 2008 about his position on same-sex marriage, and then bathed the White House in a rainbow flag. Barack Obama promoted racially polarizing lies in order to weave DEI into every area of American life. He revitalized the Iranian regime with billions of dollars in cash. He let Russia have its way; he let China expand its power base throughout the world. He \u201cled from behind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nAnd then, through the power of the mainstream media, that was forgotten because the media decided Barack Obama was a messianic figure and they would never criticize him.<\/span><\/p>\nThe way you probably remember Barack Obama right now is that he was not that bad compared to Mamdani, Ilhan Omar, or AOC. The media are still pretending his administration was scandal-free. They cover for his failures. They explain away his lies. They pretend that he is some philosopher-king instead of the architect of the radical Left.<\/span><\/p>\nObama is going to \u201cMamdani\u201d the entire Democratic Party top-down. He oversaw the Democratic Party between 2008 and 2016, and now he\u2019s taking control again.<\/span><\/p>\nI know it feels like the Democrats are in disarray with no leadership.<\/span><\/p>\nThey are not.<\/span><\/p>\nObama is and has been the single most radical active driver in his party. He did not go away. He\u2019s not George W. Bush, who was president and then went away.<\/span><\/p>\nObama has been active, and he\u2019s going to get more active. He is a master at shifting ideological goalposts without being noticed, cloaking his radicalism in some form of moderation. The reason that Obama is particularly threatening is that one, he\u2019s an excellent organizer, and two, he is the single most creative and convincing liar in modern American history.<\/span><\/p>\nHe told Colbert, \u201cI\u2019m worried about the Republican Party, not just the Democratic Party. When I was president, people would ask me what change would you like to see in Washington? I\u2019d say, I\u2019d love a loyal opposition. I\u2019d love a Republican Party that was conservative in some ways, that didn\u2019t agree with me on a whole bunch of stuff, but believed in the rule of law and judicial independence and empirical evidence and science and wasn\u2019t constantly tapping into our worst impulses. And there has been a Republican Party like that in the past, and I want to see that return, because I think you have to have two healthy parties.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThat\u2019s a lie.<\/span><\/p>\nHe wrecked that Republican Party. You know that kinder, gentler Republican Party, the one that was the loyal opposition, the one that ran Mitt Romney for president in 2012, the cleanest candidate in the history of American politics? Barack Obama wrecked that guy. His allies literally put out an ad in 2012 saying that Mitt Romney fired a man so that his wife would die of cancer.<\/span><\/p>\nObama pretends to be moderate; that\u2019s the whole game. But he is going to be as radical as humanly possible. He\u2019s setting up the system.<\/span><\/p>\nBarack Obama has the capacity to frame the Trump era as an interregnum in American history, a short detour on the road to left-wing devastation.<\/span><\/p>\nOn the Right, we tend to think of this story as ending with President Trump victorious over all of his enemies.<\/span><\/p>\nBut what if the Democratic Party is preparing to come back into power, sweep back into power, and do all the most radical things, led by Barack Obama, who was always radical but was great at hiding it?<\/span><\/p>\nHow can the radicals win? If they get some help from the New Left, as I spoke about on Wednesday\u2019s show.<\/span><\/p>\nThat\u2019s all it takes.<\/span><\/p>\nThe coalition that is forming is the Barack Obama coalition.<\/span><\/p>\nAnd it should frighten us.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
