It's beginning. A lot sooner than I predicted. Every tweet. Every inane comment. Every soundbite from his Klan rallies. Every single adolescent action he takes while attending conferences with world leaders.
They're all going to be fodder for campaign ads. And he's too stupid to keep his mouth shut.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Yes. Even though he's been out of office for almost 3 years now, Obama still beats Trump as the world's most admired men.

Appearance of impartiality. Obama is Godhead to Democrats. An endorsement is a serious plum to hand out.
I don't think Obama wants to step on the scale in that way. Just a guess. Maybe he likes someone else better,
but if so then why hasn't he endorsed that person yet. So the logical conclusion is he has not decided or he does not want to
put his finger on the scale.
I disagree. If there were a sure Democrat candidate worth backing, Obama would be all over it.Originally Posted by Micawber;3381585[B
I think Obama favors Tulsi Gabbard, and an Obama endorsement would have a reverse effect than the one intended.
Depends on what you mean by "worth." I agree with the fact that there is no "sure candidate." It's early, there are many.
Obama governed moderate. I assume he would want a moderate. Biden, by nowadays standards is that. Liberal across the broad,
but looks like steady Freddie compared to some. He has experience, is a dude, hand grey hair. That will attract some. You could live with that
over this maniac, couldn't you? It would be sane. You could fling shit at him. Foreign policy would be restored to sanity....
But if Obama has some latent disdain or something for Biden I don't care. That's his deal. I'm not wed to anyone either.
I don't love the guy, I just love not Trump, as you know, but I don't want a true socialist or someone not prepared for the job like several. Though I don't believe a Potus can
make us socialist. I could be wrong, I have now learned a demagogic and somehow charismatic bully can make America have
pronounced fascist tendencies. Trump has accomplished that feat.
I wish we could afford a firebrand, but I'm afraid the times make the man, and Trump has made the times dictate that the next Potus
should be a steady hand. I'd take Bob Dole, Mitt Romney as I'm in the breach.
