Barack Obama Has Now Been President Longer than FDR
By Ayad Rahim
This week, Barack Obama passed Franklin Roosevelt for the longest presidential tenure in American history.
What's that, you say? — president for longer than FDR? But FDR was elected president four times; Obama was elected president two times.
Yes, all of that is true. That's why this record has an asterisk next to it.
For anyone with eyes to see, the current presidency is being run by Barack Obama.
Even before this presidency began, its roots were laid in Obama's home in Washington. Over the past couple of years, Obama House was the royal court for receiving, selecting, and anointing the party's standard-bearer for 2020. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris were Obama's favored candidates, and Obama House functioned as the campaign war room. But Harris gained no traction, and she dropped out of the race on December 3, 2019, exactly two months before the Iowa caucuses.
That left Warren — to face off against Bernie Sanders in the left-wing bracket of the sweepstakes. The party had already determined, four years earlier, that Sanders was unsuitable as its standard-bearer, because he wielded an abrasive, in-your-face style of Marxism. Obama himself expressed such sentiments more than once. So the party scuppered his campaign in 2016. But in 2020, Sanders was bettering Warren in the early primaries.
So, the Obama camp had to go to plan B — find somebody who was "presentable" to the public.
