Obama comes off sidelines, thrilling Dems
By Amie Parnes - 09/08/18 06:05 AM EDT

It was a speech Barack Obama had held off from delivering.

For months, the former president refused to come off the political sidelines, even as some activists said that they wanted him to publicly take on President Trump.

Obama grumbled privately to close allies about Trump, but said he did not want to become even more of a foil to his successor, who frequently criticizes him on Twitter and in remarks to friendly audiences.

He said he wanted to create space for new leaders to emerge, and that he didn’t want to suck up all the oxygen.

That all changed on Friday when Obama took the stage at a University of Illinois auditorium and offered a blistering rebuke of Trump, calling his administration “a threat to democracy.”

One sound bite from the smirking snarky beta Bammy is one too many. The mindset of anyone who swoons over his arrogance is beyond my understanding.

He is just shaking the dew of his lily.  But in the end the thrill is gone just like his legacy.
