For over a decade, Barack Obama has sat at the helm of the Democrat party. However, with Vice President Harris’ disastrous electoral failure, many are wondering if his time in the spotlight is over.

From Fox News. Former President Barack Obama’s years of dominating Democratic Party politics may be drawing to a close, as he and party leaders will likely face a “greater reckoning” after Democrats’ losses in the 2024 election, experts predict.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

 

The whirlwind presidential election saw the Democratic Party rally around both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as their nominee at separate times – all with Obama’s seal of approval. The political landscape shifted with a single tweet from Biden on a Sunday July afternoon, with Obama and his allies deeply entwined with efforts to navigate the party to what they hoped would be an electoral victory come Nov. 5, a look back at the cycle shows. …

“I think there are going to be big demands for a greater reckoning. The Democratic politburo – Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries and others – all participated in the obvious lie that Biden was capable of a second term, in the anti-Democratic move to install a wholly untested Vice President Harris,” Democratic strategist Julian Epstein told Fox News Digital when asked about Obama’s legacy following the election. …

“They all failed the test of leadership in this respect.”

Obama and his orbit criticized for not understanding why Democrats lost the election 

This month, Obama delivered a speech at the 2024 Obama Democracy Forum, which earned him a headline on MSNBC, reading, “Obama still doesn’t get why Trump won. That’s the problem.

“​​Obama’s characteristic rhetorical virtues were on full display. He was a constitutional law professor before he was a politician, and he still sounds like one. At the same time, he was a once-in-a-generation talent as a political communicator. He knows how to convey a complex set of ideas in a digestible and appealing way,” the op-ed read.

“But there was a massive gaping hole at the center of his speech. He still doesn’t understand why his eight years in power culminated in the rise of Trump,” the op-ed continued, arguing that the “first step” to better respond to Americans’ demand for change from the status quo “​​is to stop listening to Barack Obama.”

The Democratic Party and Harris campaign have been dragged by some allies, such as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, for moving away from working-class voters while Trump rallied their support. Harris came under fire, for example, for featuring Hollywood celebrities and musicians during her campaign rallies, which were viewed as tone-deaf as Americans struggled with inflation, and their anxiety mounted over ongoing wars in Israel and Ukraine.

Now, the Democratic Party is in the midst of a reckoning over the failed election efforts, which saw the White House and Senate flip red and the House remain in the GOP’s control. …

Amid the unprecedented election cycle for Democrats, Obama and his longtime allies have been entwined with Biden’s exit and Harris’ rise and fall as the nominee.

Biden Pushed Out 

Concerns over President Biden’s mental fitness had circulated for years, heightening last winter when Special Counsel Robert Hur, who was investigating the president’s alleged mishandling of classified documents when he was vice president, characterized Biden in his report as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” …

Amid the controversy, however, Obama was seemingly acting as Biden’s political closer to help lock up votes and donations, joining the 46th president at swank fundraisers in California and New York City, and at a moderated conversation with late night host Stephen Colbert between Obama, Biden and former President Bill Clinton.

Biden and Trump’s only debate of the election cycle opened the floodgates to both Democrats and Republicans questioning and sounding off with concern over Biden’s mental acuity. …

Just days after the disastrous debate, Obama defended Biden’s performance by arguing the election pitted a political crusader supporting “ordinary folks” against Trump, whom he described as a man “who only cares about himself.” …

Notably, a list of Obama allies and former advisers led the charge in calling for Biden’s exit from the race, including former adviser David Axelrod, former director of speech writing Jon Favreau, former advisers Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor, and Hollywood actor and longtime Obama friend George Clooney. …

​​”There is no singular reason why we lost, but a big reason is because the Obama advisers publicly encouraged Democratic infighting to push Joe Biden out, didn’t even want Kamala Harris as the nominee, and then signed up as the saviors of the campaign, only to run outdated Obama-era playbooks for a candidate that wasn’t Obama,” one former Biden staffer told Politico.

Harris Takes the Mantle 

Biden endorsed Harris the same afternoon he dropped out of the race, teeing her up for a likely nomination with just 100 days and change to rally support from voters.

Obama has had a long relationship with Harris, as she was among the first elected Democrats in the nation to endorse Obama’s first run for president in the 2008 election, snubbing Hillary Clinton in favor of the then-Illinois senator. …

In her second presidential campaign, Harris on-boarded or retained a bevy of Obama orbit allies and former staffers, including: former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe; former deputy campaign manager for Obama’s 2012 election Stephanie Cutter; former Obama campaign grassroots strategist Mitch Stewart; and former Obama White House director of communications Jennifer Palmieri. …

Obama has historically held his presidential endorsements close to his vest, offering his support to Harris the Friday after Biden dropped out as speculation mounted surrounding the coveted Obama endorsement. …

Obama and Democratic establishment cave to left-wing faction 

Democratic strategist Julian Epstein, who formerly served as chief counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, took issue with Obama for not “sticking to his guns” this election cycle in the face of left-wing policies.

He commended Obama for challenging “woke” culture ahead of the 2020 election, but said Obama failed to amplify those calls in the coming years. He arguably allowed the left-wing faction of the party to dominate messaging and policy that shifted the party left. …

Epstein said Obama “backed down” to progressive Dems, while pointing to his comments from October scolding Black men who did not support Harris. …

Obama is a democrat. Democrats used to be concerned about the little guy, but somehow this morphed into the party we have known for the last 30 years. For most of these years, the populace was sort of going along with the Democratic talking points. Either the Democrats or left leaning Republicans dominated the landscape. What the left lost touch with was the American people. This people pushed back through 3 election cycles. Finally, America spoke LOUDLY in the last election. How long did Obama expect to keep on fooling the American people? A hundred more years? The American people have gotten wiser, more involved.

Much of the reason for the decline of America is directly due to Obama leading the charge. Does anyone really believe Biden was ever in control of our country? Who do you think was leading the charge? Obama mostly who, along with his wife, truly hate America. From the day they were married by Rev. Wright, the intent of the Obama;s was to bring America down, while enriching themselves and the Biden’s, so they didn’t have to face the sad fact that most American’s are not as wealthy nor as healthy or happy and proud of the United States. It took the election of 2024 for many people to wake up and vote to bring our country back to God.

Ironic how a man who amassed millions of dollars during his time in office is calling a man who lost a billion while in office “in it only for himself. ” I pray that Obama will face the justice he deserves for his treasonous acts against this country. I pray that Trump will indeed make America great again that Your gospel may go forth into all the world and millions will be saved.

America needs to unite in prayer. Democrats are so out of touch, and so bitter that the party needs a complete makeover. The Obama’s and their regime have destroyed American’s trust in government. The radical, destructive, woke swamp, and behind the scenes Obama administration hold overs must go. Please come dear Jesus, America needs you and needs a great revival and re-birth of Christian values.

Obama words that president Donald Trump is just out for himself is opposite of the truth which God has exposed. Obama, democrats, and the deep state have been self seeking even to the extent of destroying the USA. I pray that they bend their knees and beg for God’s forgiveness before it is too late for them. 🙏😇🙏

Under satans influence the Democratic Party has sped to the Left in high gear . They are looming on the edge of total destruction as their insatiable fight to control the American family continues.
Will they dust off the playbooks of the early 60’s ? Are there any believers within the party to regroup and recall any spiritual values ?
If not ….Good Riddance !!!!

To the detriment of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama is wayyyy too full of himself! He has put himself on a very high pedestal, and now that pedestal can barely hold him up and is in the process, hopefully, of crumbling underneath him.

Lord, we praise and thank you for an end to the Obama Era of promoting unrighteous causes opposed to your purposes. By the power of your Spirit, we bind and destroy demonic opposition to the Trump administration and ask for smooth transition without any violence or disturbances. We thank you for this opportunity to restore your gift of godly purposes to our nation. In your precious name, Lord Jesus.

Seems as tho Democrats not only do not understand why or how Trump won, but they continue to listen to Barack Obama who has already led them down the wrong path and continues to do so. The man, Obama, is NOT GOD, despite the fact he THINKS he is God. Democrats would be better off if they would tell Obama to buzz off and DO NOT RETURN!
