So, feeling remarkable, the extended shelf life that Barack Obama has politically in this

0:09.4

country, here he is, he's been out of the presidency for quite some time, and yet he is a critical

0:16.0

component, obviously, of any re-election campaign for President Biden still after, while everything

0:23.7

has happened in the last six to seven years, Barack Obama is still at the top of his game.

0:29.4

Wow, that's the word from the plagiarist Mike Barnacle over at MSNBC. Yeah, that's what they want

0:42.4

you to believe. They still at the top of his game. What a wicked analysis from Barnacle.

0:51.2

So, what is it? Is Barack Obama advising Joe Biden to stay in the game? Or is he directing Joe Biden

1:01.4

at Martha's Fingered, almost two weeks ago, we still don't know the full story because, of course,

2:02.2

they haven't written the full story yet. But this discussion with Barnacle and Glasser continued,

2:10.3

and they were breaking down the popularity of Barack Obama. No, I think that's an excellent point

2:18.1

to make because, you know, you look at the incredible contrast between the actions of Donald Trump

2:25.4

and his predecessor Barack Obama. And what's remarkable is that one of the reasons I think Obama's

2:31.3

popularity has held among Democrats is because, you know, there was no scandal in his administration.

2:37.7
