Keep Obama In The Spotlight...It's The Only Way To Be Sure
Ben Shapiro makes a point that I have heard a few times in the last few weeks, and I think he is completely correct. Obama Won't Go Away After He's Done. That's Good News. As much as most of us would give up a Chicago Cubs World Series victory in exchange for never hearing or seeing Obama ever again, keeping him in the limelight and as the spokesman for Democrat policies is almost guaranteed to continue to irritate an increasingly vocal and active part of the electorate.
This comes as welcome news for Republicans. Obama's policy unpopularity -- and his tendency to lecture from on high to Americans in rural areas -- means that he'll suck all the oxygen out of the room when it comes to criticizing Trump and Republicans. Middle Americans voted for Trump in order to sound off against Obama's obvious scorn for them.
If it means that the aggressive progressive policies of the last eight years will continue to gain disfavor among voting Americans, then I am all for Obama being the grand old statesman and spokesman of the Democrat party.
On the other hand, I wonder if those great electronic shooting ear-protectors can be tuned to eliminate his voice.....
