He lost the House, the Senate, and almost a thousand state races for the Democrats. In the end he lost them the presidency. Seems to be a malady confined to recent presidents. As such, Barack Obama used the Democrat Party like a five dollar hooker and left the White House with his political party in the gutter. A new book chronicles how Obama sucked the Democrats dry of political power.

FNC: “A ‘parasite’ on the Democratic Party is how journalist Edward Isaac Dovere describes former President Obama in his forthcoming tell-all book ‘Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats’ Campaign to Defeat Trump.’ In a chapter entitled ‘Benign Neglect,’ Dovere writes that the section’s namesake is how Obama aides privately described his abandonment of the Democratic Party once in the White House. ‘Negligence’ might be more accurate,’ Dovere, a writer for The Atlantic and former chief Washington correspondent for Politico, writes.

” ‘In 2008, Democrats increased their majorities in the House and Senate, delivering Obama the legislature for his first two years in office. In 2010, Republicans took the majority in the House with the Tea Party wave and Democrats maintained but shrunk their majority in the Senate. In 2014, Republicans gained control of both the House and Senate. Dovere writes that ‘defenders’ of Obama have argued he didn’t want to ‘taint’ his presidency by ‘mucking about in fundraising,’ or that he didn’t want to spoil the image voters had of him as an independent politician, or that faced with the choice to campaign or govern, he would always choose govern.” Independent? Ha!!! Oh yeah, Stalin liked “governing” too.

“The numbers are hard to ignore: during his eight years in office, Obama oversaw a net loss of 947 state legislative seats, 63 House seats, 11 senators, and 13 governors,” said the writer.  Dovere writes Obama carried himself with a “self-assured self-regard. Obama never built a Democratic bench and never cared to, aside from a few scattered candidates who interested him,” according to the book.

In 2009, Obama hired Tim Kaine to run the DNC. In a brutal passage Dovere says Kaine was “commuting two days a week to oversee the pilfering of talent, money, resources, and purpose for the Obama reelection effort that was already under way.

And get this. “Ultimately Obama’s math comes down to a simple calculation: he has suggested in conversations with people close to him that he thinks he would have won had he been able to be a candidate in 2016. The economy, the Democratic debris, Russia – if he could have run for a third term, even confronted with all these issues, he believes, he would have figured out how to pull a victory off anyway,” according to the book. Obama is delusional. He’s a big reason Trump won in 2016. It was a backlash over the last eight years. “In his second term, he cared about what happened to the husk (his party) as much as any parasite does,” Dovere says. Spot on.
