At its best, good journalism provides a “first read” of the history of an era. Here the New York Post provides a fine example of exactly that, authored by historian Victor Davis Hanson.
Former President Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Joe Biden nomination — and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years.
As such, he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history. (sources in original)
Obama proved to be a typical symbolic DEI hire: who he was more important than what he did. Based on accomplishments in office, he was a mostly unsuccessful president.
Obama managed to extend his own failed presidency for another four years under Biden. Biden lacked the Obama DEI cachet, hence Harris as VP. The untalented Biden managed to underperform Obama.
The preposterously mislabeled “lightbringer,” Obama has left us in a dark place, both domestically and overseas. In November we found ourselves in a hole and, mirabile dictu, we stopped digging. The relief most of us are feeling recently is the result of starting to put the Obama/Biden mess behind us.
