Obama fears Trump reelection, suggests Biden campaign revamp​

Lots of high-level Democrats are warning that President Biden and his reelection team are too complacent — and unimaginative — about the threat of losing to Donald Trump, sources tell us.

• The latest alarm was sounded Saturday in a leak to The Washington Post about a private meeting in which former President Obama pointed Biden to a different way to attack this campaign. We're told it was a lunch just before the holidays. Obama pushed Biden to consider moving his political operation outside of — and beyond — his White House advisers, as the former president had done with his Chicago-based 2012 reelection team.
• "Obama also recommended that Biden seek counsel from Obama's own former campaign aides, which Biden officials say they have done," The Post added.
  Why it matters: "Someone wants to light a fire under the asses of some of these people," a top Democratic strategist told us. Jim Messina, manager of Obama's 2016 reelection campaign, often warns Democrats not to be worrywart "bedwetters." The strategist added: "It's hard to call it bedwetting when it's Barack Obama."
  
  What's happening: Biden's reelection campaign has long projected a calm confidence about beating Trump if that rematch comes to be. The gist of what you hear from both the White House and the campaign's HQ in Wilmington, Del: "It's fine. We've got this."
• But many high-level Democrats think it's not fine. They fear the president's political machine hasn't found the sweet spot between a chill Zen and dangerous complacency — and has been way too Zen.

~Snip~
Top Democrats were relieved Friday by Biden's passionate opening speech of '24. In fiery remarks in Valley Forge, Pa. — coinciding with the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters — Biden warned: "Democracy is on the ballot. Your freedom is on the ballot."

• Biden name-checked Trump 44 times in the half-hour speech. He drew applause when he needled the former president on his drive to overturn the 2020 results: "I had won the election and he was a loser."
• Some of the Dems we talked to see the speech as the campaign's "we get it" moment.

~Snip~
Behind the scenes: The disconnect behind Bidenworld and some Democratic elites was crystallized by a conference call the campaign hosted Wednesday for Democratic surrogates and pundits, some of them household names. The call was designed to convey talking points, not strategy.

• But some of the analysts, including White House alumni, thought the points were the kind you could hear from the podium.

"We are well aware that Donald Trump is bad," one of the pundits said. "We know how to make that case. We wanted more: 'This is where we are, and we hear ya.' … If it was intended to reassure us in the wake of all these bad polls, it didn't do that."

Commentary:
I don’t think you can “revamp” the Biden campaign anymore than going to Valley Forge similar to his Philadelphia speech sans the Dark scene and trash millions of patriotic, America-loving Americans. Obama’s African Communism isn’t taking with the public the way it used to.
Democrats know they are in deep trouble.
Biden really thinks he is President.
Meanwhile Obama’s DEI push is fractured.
Americans are tired of being lectured to by children.
The big surprise is the GOP has finally woken up from their 30 year slumber.

The Halfrican wants to put it in the hands of crooked black dem operatives. Even if Tater loses the blacks get the grift.

Obama needs to do like other presidents: fly away and butt out of current politics.

Fear is another thing you republicans have in common. Way too emotional for your own good. Politics , like everything else , changes ; you have to roll with the punches. Actually I wouldn't mind seeing trump try to remake America into a fascist state , that would finally put an end to his madness.

 

[Lisa558]

He wants a fourth term.

I know. We have to stop him before his plan to transform America into a third-world shithole is complete.

You KNOW that ain't happening.

Yep. Change is coming. Get used to it

If Obama wasn't doing such a shitty job of running our country, Democrats might be in a better place. Say no to Marxism. Viva Trumpy. MAGA

First of all....Obama is running for POTUS. He's operating a shadow government outside of the White House.
There's no reason whatsoever that a fcking former president should be involved in the operation of a white house anyway. Now he's telling Biden to turn over his campaign to him.

This is treason FYI.

Obama should stick to being Louis Farrakhan's little playmate.

Yes. Presidents are supposed to be limited to two terms…..not remain in DC and run the show behind the scenes.

Obama’s determination to destroy America….oops, I mean “transform” it….is strong indeed.
