Democrats desperate to convince voters the midterms are not a referendum on President Biden and the economy are dredging up another president — Barack Obama — to save the day.
With Biden largely confined to the sidelines, Obama is on a multi-state campaign swing to salvage key Senate and governor’s races, attacking Republicans and trying to rekindle the electoral magic that put him in the White House for two terms.
Democrats hope the ex-prez mobilizes suburban and swing voters who otherwise might sit out the election, and keep Republicans from taking over Congress and key governor’s seats. He’s the most on-demand Democratic surrogate in the country. On Tuesday, Obama hits Nevada, then heads to Arizona on Wednesday and finishes in Pennsylvania over the weekend, where Biden will also finally emerge from his hiding to join him.
Sorry, it won’t work.
Obama has a terrible track record as a surrogate, losing record numbers of Democratic seats in the 2010 midterms just two years after he was first elected.
Republicans picked up 64 seats in 2010, the largest swing in decades. Democrats also got pummeled at the state and local level. In 2014, Democrats suffered another round of losses.
Obama’s big lie about the health care reform law – that people wouldn’t lose their doctors – stands as one of the biggest political cons in history. Voters won’t forget.
Now he’s running around the country blaming Republicans for endangering democracy and being obsessed with Donald Trump. The president who claimed to be the “unifier in chief” actually sounds like just yet another political attack artist, especially in Georgia, where he went after GOP Senate candidate and former football star Herschel Walker, dismissing him as a “celebrity that wants to be a politician.”
And of course, he is trying to link every Republican with Trump.
“These days just about every Republican politician seems obsessed with two things: owning the ‘libs’…and getting Donald Trump’s approval,” Obama said in Detroit.
He’s supposed to be the big unifier, and all he does is attack Republicans. He’s driving another wedge, not unifying. Obama is already finding out just how divided this country is, facing heckling at a stop in Georgia.
And Obama will have only limited influence at the polls. He hasn’t been an elected official in six years, a distant memory now in the eyes of many voters.
Obama’s mission seems like a lost cause.
No amount of endorsements or surrogate campaigning is going to help the Democrats at this point. Do you really think that Obama is going to somehow fool people into thinking that Biden isn’t president?
Massachusetts may be the lone holdout for the Dems. That’s why they’re sending Vice President Kamala Harris here this week, because it’s the only state she can’t screw up.

“Democrats desperate to convince voters the midterms are not a referendum on President Biden and the economy are dredging up another president — Barack Obama — to save the day.” ………
Not gonna work with any intelligent rational person. We are just seeing the same destructive policies and agendas as we had under the Tinkerbell Barrack Obama rule. The corrupt, demented, obedient puppet president Joe Biden is just obediently doing as he is being told to do and say by his treasonous puppeteers
I have a question !! How many of you enjoyed keeping your Doctor when Obamacare was rolled out ???? Oh yes that was just another Republican conspiracy theory. If I remember right Obama and Biden held a little conference in the oval office about what they could do about Trump!!!!!
IF they were rational, THEY WOULDN’T be democrat supporters1!!
THE PEOPLE now realize that Biden is just a reflection of Obama and his failed socialism. Obama chopped more holes in the sides and bottom of our American ship of State,, he who thinks he can walk on water, could bail water for a lifetime and not bail out Joe and the America torpedoing swift boating Democrats whose crimes against American democracy will need a no-bail District Attorney to keep their six’ out of prison for a well-earned Jeffrey Epstein life terminating experience of their own, delivered by the very fellow social vultures of a feather they spent their time on earth elevating in power. Every time Obama shows up with Joe hiding in the basement mute, is another nail in Fetterman’s campaign coffin reminding all Americans what happens when damaged brains of crippled morality are given power over people of integrity, whose wholeness soon is sliced and diced out of existence. Just why would Republicans want to “Own Libs” who never own the results of their failures. Enter the failure possessed ex-president who owns the beginning of it all, The great dark divisive socialist who to this day disguises himself as an uniting enlightened American Democrat. His current attacks on half the AMerican nation show that division was his ultimate end all along.
Hopefully ‘Barry the Great Deceiver’ slithers back into his hole before he spreads the pox even further…
Slither away, NEVER TO COME BACK into the light.
the magic negro strikes again
His white half DNA obviously comes from the same broken branch that the Biden Family tree fell off of, right out of the Messypotamia Garden fo evil.
