Obama described as 'parasite' on the Democratic Party in new book (msn.com) (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/obama-described-as-parasite-on-the-democratic-party-in-new-book/ar-AAKuYS5?ocid=msedgdhp)


A new book (https://www.businessinsider.com/obama-trump-hostility-presidency-private-conversations-book-2021-5) describes former President Barack Obama as a "parasite" on the Democratic Party, using it as a "host" during his first term to get reelected.

The description appears in a chapter of Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaign to Defeat Trump, written by Edward Isaac Dovere, a writer for the Atlantic, and former chief Washington correspondent for Politico.

"In his second term, he cared about what happened to the husk as much as any parasite does," Dovere writes, according to a report (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dovere-book-obama-parasite) by Fox News.

The journalist cites Democratic losses in 2010, when Republicans took the majority in the House in a sweeping red wave, followed by 2014, when the GOP took control of both chambers in Congress.

"The numbers are hard to ignore: During his eight years in office, Obama oversaw a net loss of 947 state legislative seats, 63 House seats, 11 senators, and 13 governors," Dovere said.

Dovere said the former president only had two major success stories during his time in the White House: Supreme Court rulings upholding his signature healthcare plan, ObamaCare, and declaring same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states.

"In hindsight it's hard not to see delusion in the self-assurance and the celebration and the sense of moving forward of those two weeks in America," Dovere writes.

Dovere's book also talks about first lady Jill Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/bernie-sanders). He claims Jill Biden told now-Vice President Kamala Harris to "go f*** yourself" after she referred to her husband, now-President Joe Biden, as a racist during a 2020 presidential primary debate.

The book also reports Sanders, a self-described socialist, has "minimum requirements (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/bernie-sanders-demands-flights-hotels-book)" during his travels, including a request for a king-sized bed kept at 60 degrees and comfortable rights on private flights.

Dovere's book was compiled from more than 400 interviews over a four-year period. It chronicles the battle to remove former President Donald Trump (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/donald-trump?utm_campaign=autolink&utm_source=internal&utm_medium=autolink) from the White House. The book is set to release next week.

I mean, it would be silly to pretend that Obama wasn't the star of an otherwise very dull Democratic party.

One has to look no further than the last two Democratic presidential candidates to see that Dems have a lot of work to do when it comes to finding likeable and electable candidates.

Trump lost

Ding.

I don't know why that guy gets your panties in a bunch, tbh... he was a two termer with exceptional approval ratings and winning his elections by pretty wide margins.

You can hate him all you want and I wasn't even a fan myself, but objectively speaking he was one of the most popular presidents in the last few decades.

I even recall Darrin trying to ding him over an alleged cult of personality, but that excuse is out the window after the last administration, tbh

Bernie was passed over numerous times. I don't think Obama was worse than what the Republicans countered with - Mitt Romney? I sat out that election but found that nomination comical.

Both teams have identity crises. If anything, Dennison is banking on that to try to take over the GOP.

It's a bit difficult to wrap my head around American politics sometimes, often. The parties many times operate/stand contradictory to how a classic conservative or classic liberal party should. It truly gives me high school bickering vibes. I pretty much feel it's this way by design at this point.

It's the model pioneered by Fox News, that almost every lefty outlet has copied, and it was only a matter of time until politics got infected as well.

Attention whore by any means, lie, cheat, manufacture drama and perceived enemies, everything needs to be over the top, the danger is right around the corner coming for your children, etc. It's become cartoonish at this point. Social media has turned into the same thing in a lot of ways as well.

ElNono will playact with you all day long as if this is all legit. It's not hard to know what's going on when you understand all the rigging going on.
Once you know that, then you understand why these people can say and do all the stupid sh** they're doing.

[ElNono]

^^^ this is the kind of audience they cater to, tbh... room temperature IQ that will eat whatever you throw at them, and will readily admit they're outraged without even looking what they ate up. The psychological side must be fascination as well, probably think they're illuminated or special. Well, maybe they're special after all.

One thing Europe still has going for them is that they largely still take pride in having an educated society. I don't know exactly when it happened here in the US, maybe around the 'deplorables' time(?), but I suspect it's earlier than that, where being loud and ignorant became some sort of a badge of honor.

Fortunately it's a minority and hopefully over time it continues to dwindle, tbh

[Spurtacular]

You know I'm calling it the way it is. Don't get haughty.

[ElNono]

No, I don't know you're right. You're actually pretty steady when it comes to being wrong, and eventually folding.

I don't blame you for it, derp. I think the system failed you, and I do think we need to, as a society, evaluate where things went so wrong.

Once you reach adulthood, you should be able to have at least a bare minimum of curiosity and critical thinking to understand why you keep falling for the same shit every time, and turn the tide.

You should have a bare amount of decency to admit you're wrong when you are. You shouldn't need somebody else to point out to you that "water isn't wet" is a lie. You don't need a college degree for that either.

I mean, what's the end goal here? Clearly it isn't to have an informed conversation about anything. Attention whoring? You don't get enough attention IRL?

[Spurtacular]

Keep lying your ass off; nobody but other liars buying it.

[ElNono]

everybody is a liar but Qhris and me and Cosm... oh wait... lmao

[boutons_deux]

"likeable and electable candidates"

candidates made for Tee Vee?

dubya appealed to some as "a guy to have a beer with" but started two wars of choice that he couldn't win, costing Ms of lives and $Ts, let America be attacked on its own soil. fuck dubya and dickhead to hell

Candidates should be elected on their policies, and re-elected on their effectiveness in office working to implement those policies.

govt shouldn't be "exciting" or entertaining, it ain't show business or game.

You want to have your fantasy world in which you haven't been exposed. The fantasy world that you haven't been ratio'd.
This election confirmed what we long suspected. You back a scam.

Obama never needed their votes. He need the scurrilous blacks who would stuff ballot boxes for him is all.

lmao the word salad... "exposed, ratio'd"... what the fuck are you babbling about?

There was a time to challenge the election outcome and there was zero evidence of widespread fraud.

Trump lost, lost bigly. Get over it.

Derp has bent knee, called Biden president.

This is how you must treat derp.
I will give you credit for continuing to try, but you cannot reason a derp out of something he did not reason himself into.

You must use what he understands.
And what he understands is he is an addicted, fapping, incel, loser.
Trump got crushed. But he still has his followers. Derp will never come to terms with the record number of votes Trump created for Biden. Joe Biden is a place holder. Derp's god got obliterated by an almost 80 yo old coaster. Because of the loathing Trump brought upon himself. Derp does not understand that people do not like pathological lying, self promoting, pond scum.

And he uses the alt General VIRTUE? The English language needs stronger words than ironic and hypocrite.

[ElNono]

The corruption being exposed. Stealing elections not cool. Treasonous.

Again, there were 30+ courts cases to "expose corruption" and zero evidence that will stand up in court.

Thus Congress certifying the results of free and fair elections as the Constitution mandates. 'Stolen' is indeed a lie.

What's treasonous is to cheer for the military to do a coup d'etat because you didn't like that your candidate lost in a landslide.
