Dems say Obama return from sidelines is overdue
The Hill, Jun 14, 2018, Aime Parnes

When former President Obama left the White House, he pledged to take a back seat to make room for other Democrats in the party to shine.  Nearly 17 months later, that’s proving to be an impossible task.

Obama drew headlines this week after a Politico report  revealed that he is consulting a long line of would-be 2020 candidates and offering advice to party leadership. And he drew another round of headlines when it was announced that his political committee, Organizing for Action, is revving up to help Democrats in the midterm elections.

Democrats have turned to the party patriarch as fatigue with the Clintons has set in, a factor exacerbated in recent days by former President Clinton’s tone-deaf comments on Monica Lewinsky and the “Me Too” movement.

The desire among Democrats for Obama to take a more leading role in the midterm fight and party building in general is just getting stronger, particularly with the lack of alternatives. 

“There’s f---ing no one else,” one frustrated Democratic strategist said. “Bill Clinton is toxic, [former President] Carter is too old, and there’s no one else around for miles.”

By all means, bring the Marxist, Alinskyite, Cross Way Breezer back to Headline.

That'll teach those mean ole Republicans a thing or two!

It's not as if Obama hasn't been busy. That choom wasn't going to smoke itself.

Actually what's over due is putting Bammy in an orange jump suit behind bars.  Who knows, maybe the liberals in the slammer will love him.
