Miranda Devine: Dems are in desperate need of a new leader as Communists overrun their party — but all they got is Obama

Just as his party is overrun by Communist revolutionaries, former President Barack Obama has decided to take center stage in a frenetic public relations campaign, ostensibly to promote his so-called library.
He’s here, there and everywhere, silkily opining about everything under the sun, except the only thing that matters: the disintegration of his party. Like Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned, Obama is curiously detached from the disaster he helped create.
Democrats desperately need a leader to rally around, but all they have is Obama.
He is the only former Democratic president who is still sharp, charismatic and dynamic enough to take up the mantle.
Former President Bill Clinton, while reasonably well-liked and not crazy, despite his wife, has significant health problems and is in no shape to do more than make the occasional token appearance and help raise money.
Clearly, Joe Biden, the only other living former Democratic president, can barely function in public, as was evident in his Saturday night performance at a fundraiser for the Maryland Democratic Party.
Quite why he — or Dr. Jill — would want to mark the second anniversary of his disastrous final debate humiliation against Donald Trump by fumbling through his first keynote address in a casino at a boxing-themed “Fight Back & Win” gala is a mystery.
