. From 2024's vantage point, is there any way to look at his legacy but as a tragic blight on American history?
In the final months of the campaign, Obama seemed to know the outcome of the election would say just as much about him as it would about Joe

. And, like all realistic Democrats, he knew that the nominee he supported was on track to lose. His behavior in those days was nothing short of appalling.

that Biden should give up his reelection campaign, as if there was some obvious plan as to what the party would do in that event. Obama did nothing and said nothing as his former vice president was squeezed out, and then he offered what should go down in Democrat history as the most uncomfortable, underwhelming endorsement a former president has ever offered a subsequent nominee. Obama participated in a highly staged phone call with Harris and, with all the enthusiasm of a mortician, told her, ''It appears that people feel very strongly that you need to be our nominee.''
It never got any better, and it climaxed in the shocking display of Obama belittling black men. Because he shared in their race (somewhat), Obama felt they should do as he said. ''You're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses,'' he told them to their faces with his arms crossed and brow furrowed. ''I've got a problem with that because part of it makes me think — and I'm speaking to men directly now — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president.'' Obama literally wagged his finger to tell these grown men, ''That's not acceptable. This shouldn't even be a question.''
If that weren't crazed enough, he then trotted out wife Michelle to further nag male voters. ''So fellas,'' she said at a rally in Michigan, ''before you cast your votes ask yourselves what side of history do you want to be on.'' She said male ''rage'' is what could cost Democrats the election. ''If we don't get this election right,'' she nagged, ''your wife, your daughter, your mother — we as women will become collateral damage to your rage. So are you men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and kiddies you love and tell them that you supported this assault on our safety?'' (Can we get one of those overpaid consultants to advise women in politics that there's nothing frank or authentic about referring to men as ''fellas?'')
Generally speaking, Democrat men have never been accused of being too manly, but it remains a mystery as to who came up with the idea to browbeat them into voting for Kamala. If it was Obama's idea, man has he lost his magic. And if it wasn't his idea, man has he lost his magic.
''Hope and change'' became, ''Do what mommy and daddy said.''
Then Trump won decisively, the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote. It's the second time Trump defeated the Obama-backed candidate and the second chance Trump has to reverse the havoc Obama and his legacy have wrought.
Consider that Obama's supreme legislative achievement was a health insurance industry overhaul. The ultimate result has been higher prices and fewer insurance options. Obama supported

as his successor, discouraging Biden. She was ended by Trump. In 2020, Biden became the Democrat nominee with the eventual support of Obama, only to preside over breakouts of foreign conflict, hyperinflation, rampant crime, and unmitigated chaos at the southern border, none of which was inevitable but in fact instigated by Biden's agenda. Now voters are once again turning to Trump, the man who made his entry into the Obama-era of politics by demanding proof of Obama's birth certificate, which Obama, the sitting president of the United States, responded to by publishing it. Sad!
America is done with him. Obama was 2024's biggest loser.
