NBC "News:" Some Democrats No Longer Believe That Obama is the Messiah

(Boy I miss saying that.)

While the article talks about Democrats being tired of Obama himself, most of the antagonism is directed at the old campaign managers and propagandists of Obama, who continue running Democrat campaigns -- and losing.

"I don't want a surgeon who keeps killing patients," one Democrat says.

Obama world loses its shine in a changing, hurting Democratic Party

Obama White House and campaign alumni have been setting the course of the Democratic Party for years. After 2024, more Democrats want to see that change.
...
David Plouffe, long hailed as the brilliant architect of Obama's 2008 victory, served in a key role in Harris' campaign and is now among those tagged with a devastating defeat.
"The shine's off Plouffe now. He was the golden boy," Morgan said. "Now he's just an old broken-down boy, who lost. Big."
Messina did not comment on the exchange. Plouffe did not respond to a request for comment.
While many Democrats still admire Plouffe's successes, the harsh words punctuated a growing sentiment across a party searching for a path forward: Team Obama's bloom may be falling off the rose.

More Democrats are openly criticizing Obama strategists and consultants, who were long treated as the high priests of their party's politics.
...
But even the former president's luster was showing signs of fading last fall, a phenomenon that threatens to persist as the next crop of young voters ages into adulthood. When the 2028 presidential election arrives, it will be 20 years since Obama's first victory. At that point, more voters will have come of age in the era of Donald Trump than in the era of Obama.
...

Democrats point to myriad factors leading to Harris' defeat in 2024 -- with many focusing on a compressed timeline because Biden refused to step aside as the party's candidate until 107 days before the election. Plouffe pointedly blamed Biden, saying "He totally f---ed us" in a newly released book.

Plouffe's verbal affront opened him and fellow Obama alums to their own criticisms. DNC Finance Chair Chris Korge lashed out at Plouffe in an interview with NBC News last week, saying he and other Obama alums shared the blame, chiding them as the "so-called gurus."
"It's time to re-evaluate the use of consultants and bring in new forward-looking people," Korge also said in the interview. "The old Obama playbook no longer works."
...
Chuck Rocha, who worked on Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential bid and consults on House and Senate campaigns, said that a small cluster of firms dominate the market for political operatives.

...
He said the firms rise and fall, but the players who run them are the same -- a sort of regeneration cycle that keeps the same people in place. "They're all connected," he said.
...
Chris Kofinis, a Democratic strategist with experience on past presidential campaigns, said it's time for the party to take a hard look at the same set of operatives, including Obama campaign alums, who have been running national Democratic campaigns.
"I'm sorry -- I don't want a surgeon who keeps killing patients," he said.
...
[W]ith political operatives who cut their teeth in the Obama years still wielding power in the party, there's a disconnect between the leadership and younger electorates the party needs to win moving forward, Hogg added. Part of the issue is that those young voters barely have any memory of the nation's first Black president.
"I don't think they have one to be honest with you. That's part of the challenge," Hogg, 25, said, adding, "For many of these younger people who are under the age of 20, right now ... they don't remember much of what Obama talked about. They grew up in the political context of Donald Trump and him being normalized, because that was what politics was to them growing up."

Speaking of gay black rabble-rousers: Jussie Smollett has resolved a lawsuit lodged against him for misdirecting police resources by lying about a racial lynching he actually paid for.

Smollett donated $50,000 to a charity without admitting blame.

Embattled LGBTQ+ actor Jussie Smollett will pay $50,000 to an organization in Chicago to settle a lawsuit the city had filed against him over accusations of lying about a hate crime, media outlets noted.
Chicago police had wanted Smollett to pay $130,000 to cover the investigation costs; however, the donation will be made instead, per the BBC.
The money will go to the Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts, which supports Chicago's underprivileged youth.

He should have been forced to donate to the MAGA Country Fund.

Smollett continues insisting that he really was lynched and then re-lynched by Chicago cops. He insists he told the truth and the Real Lynchers are still out there.

Obama's people accelerated the destruction of this country. With Biden as figurehead, the same people accelerated the destruction even further until the damage could no longer be papered over or hidden by distractions. The public rejected the Obama team in recognition of their very lengthy period of political success that they used to loot and destroy.

The plan apparently was to seize power permanently, institute a police state, and continue shoving this down our throats whether we liked it or not. They failed. So far.

98 most of the antagonism is directed at the old campaign managers and propagandists of Obama, who continue running Democrat campaigns -- and losing.

Very true, which is why I'm surprised not to see Rahm Emmanuel mentioned yet. I posted some DU discussions recently about Nancy Pelosi saying he'd run in 2028, and DU was not very enthusiastic. Maybe 20% for saying he was a ruthless fighter, and 80% against saying he was a moderate, corporate Democrat and his favorable views on Israel would be "problematic".

They love them some Pete Buttigieg over there, though. And Pritzker, for some unfathomable reason.

The Democrat base (trannies, illegals, and the white spinsters who love them) want their radicalism pure and uncut. 2. The normies see through the rhetoric now; Antifa and BLM served the fine purpose of waking the normies to how radical and violent the left is.

They say he's incredibly intelligent and a policy wonk, but also an excellent speaker who can communicate complex ideas to the public. He's fearless, and willing to go "into the lion's den" (Fox News) to debate and destroy conservatives.

He loses points with the more progressive/extremist wing of the party, ironically, because they say he's too moderate/corporate.

They all love that he's gay, or course, and think he has the juice to run a successful campaign because he won Iowa in the primaries.

This is why the Clintons will never forgive the Obamas. Anyone could have trounced McCain, even Hillary.

Note that Obama was the first president since Wilson to win re-election with less electoral votes. He was never as popular as the Dems thought.

258 So why the pattern {metal}{geological feature}, or various types of tree, and not just "von Hamburg"?
Posted by: Warai-otoko at May 27, 2025 06:50 PM (yvnLa)
_______________

First, as pointed out by Anna Puma, "von" is an ennobling title.

The pattern is because German Jews had to purchase surnames, so the wealthy chose things such as "gold," "silver," "diamond," etc. and derivatives thereof. The less well-off ended up as "morning star," "mountain," "valley," "flower," etc. and their derivatives.

268 I used to rule the world / Seas would rise when I gave the word / Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice / Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes / listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead, long live the king/ One minute, I held the key Next the walls were closed on me / And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman Cavalry choirs are singin' / be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field / for some reason, I can't explain Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and wild wind/ blew down the doors to let me inShattered windows and the sound of drums/People couldn't believe what I'd become / Revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate / Just a puppet on a lonely string / Aw, who would ever wanna be king?

Mayor Pete moved to Michigan and was rumored to be seeking the open Senate seat, but I'm pretty sure polling showed that being sodomite was not enough to close the deal. So now he's playing at the presidential level, which allowed him more insulation from the population, opportunities for grift, etc.

A lot of these folks debut at the national level because they are terrible at retail politics. Obama won all his local elections unopposed thanks to the timely unsealing of divorce cases.

272 "I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

276 Obama is the classic archetype of the Charlatan.

He's all image. A pure, unadulterated, undistracted con-man. A one man travelling circus of snake oil vendors and bearded ladies. He may derive amusement from armchair philospohizing, just like the most insufferable sophomore communications major with a stoner roommate who buys all the weed for him because he doesn't actually have a hookup... but all that goes right the hell out the window when it comes to getting into a pair of pants or wheedling a D out of a sure F from the professor who's thoroughly sick of his shit.

He's That Fucking Guy that everyone knew in college, once, who simply never stopped being That Fucking Guy From College.

Bill Ayers too, who ghostwrote his two books. Actual terrorist, his group bombed the capitol in the 80s. Actual insurrection and terrorism.

I know people are ticked at kash Patel and Dan Bongino for going slow. But when the FBI goes fast, the my botch evidence and cases. That was how bill Ayer's got out of prison instead of rotting in it for life. And then could later groom Obama.

The old internet was better.

Old browsers kept files in an open transparent cache so if you looked at Bammy's BC you might notice is was a straight up pdf file... and if you have the full featured pdf program you saw how it was put together. Hard to forget if you see it with your own eyes.

But it was scrubbed, like the so much else on the net today.
For example the wiki article on "86' the day somebody infamously used it - quite clear it's common slang, but that was disappeared by people whom deep state operatioves have no influence over (so they tell us). You could say the broader definition for '86' was 86'd.

294 The funny thing is, I did feel bad for not voting for Obama the first time. A black man being president is everything MLK fought for, everything my millennial non-racist heart wished to see. I felt wistful I could not be part of that zeitgeist moment. But I saw the emperor as naked and couldn't vote for him. In my gut I knew something was off.

If he had actually believed the lies he spouted in the 2004 DNC speech that kicked off his election... "there's red or blue states, there's red, white, and blue states..." we would have healed so much as a nation. He would have been Nelson Mandela on steroids.

Instead he stuck with the Marxist grievance mongering, the tired racism game, the petty fights, the failed playbooks, the grifting con game and shell game without a long term plan.

If he's finally washed up and of no use to the dems, it's 100% earned and deserved/.
