I think this will be on my 'need to read' list.

New book claims Obama was a 'parasite' who sucked the Democratic Party dry to get reelected

A "parasite" on the Democratic Party is how journalist Edward Isaac Dovere describes former President Obama in his forthcoming tell-all book "Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaign to Defeat Trump."

In a chapter entitled "Benign Neglect," Dovere writes that the section’s namesake is how Obama aides privately described his abandonment of the Democratic Party once in the White House. "‘Negligence’ might be more accurate," Dovere, writer for The Atlantic and former chief Washington correspondent for Politico, writes.

"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," he continues.

In 2008, Democrats increased their majorities in the House and Senate, delivering Obama the legislature for his first two years in office. In 2010, Republicans took the majority in the House with the Tea Party wave and Democrats maintained but shrunk their majority in the Senate. In 2014, Republicans gained control of both the House and Senate.

Dovere writes that the 44th president carried himself with a "self-assured self-regard."

OBAMA CALLED TRUMP A ‘F---ING LUNATIC,' BOOK SAYS

"Obama never built a Democratic bench and never cared to, aside from a few scattered candidates who interested him," according to the book.

Dovere writes that "defenders" of Obama have argued he didn’t want to "taint" his presidency by " mucking about in fundraising," or that he didn’t want to spoil the image voters had of him as an independent politician, or that faced with the choice to campaign or govern, he would always choose govern.

Dovere writes that during his first term, Obama used the party structure as a "host" for his next campaign.

In 2009, Obama hired his friend Tim Kaine to head the DNC, even though Kaine was also serving as governor for the first year on the job.

In a scathing passage Dovere claims Kaine was at the time "commuting two days a week to oversee the pilfering of talent, money, resources, and purpose for the Obama reelection effort that was already under way." ..............

Gee, what a surprise that the supreme narcissist Hussein was all about himself and no one else.

Could that title be a homophobic slur?

I don't know I wonder if somewhere in the book the author points out that Obama was more interested in men who played with balls than doing his job.

He arrogantly believed he could also win a third term.  Joe is serving his 3rd term for him sucking the life blood out of this country. I have little doubt that we will see a black female tag team in the WH: Kamel and Michelle.

Greene is still relatively new but I think the GOP is going to need her.  They are going to need a strong, spunky female to go up against the tag team.  I know of no black qualified GOP politician, so I think that may present a problem for them.

Let's simplify things. Obama was a parasite who sucked.

A utopian sexual predator slick willy, then a utopian ghetto President messiah promising an end to race games, then goes on to enhance race agitation, then a moral less money hustler that would sell/sell out, his own mother or nation on the street to make more money, Biden.   What say you fanatically driven duplicitous fools that went along with it all ?  You 'virtuous deniers of hell' that got us to where we now are ?
