    How much influence does Obama have?

      Just last week people were saying Obama really didn't want Kamala to be nominated.

      I was only joking

          It's going to bounce around until the truth is known.

            Well, until convenient narratives are established, at least.

              There have always been "kingmakers" in US (and world politics). I don't think this is unusual at all.

              For example, President Trump still had a tremendous amount of influence in the Republic party after 2021.

              President Reagan had influence, etc etc.

                Let's not forget that Mr. Obama is a 2-bit hack who hates the country.

                That was never said about Mr. Reagan.

                  Why do you say that?

                    He actually wanted to call Obama a 2 bit thug but recalled that perhaps one or two here saw through that thinly veiled euphemism some years ago.

                      Now that he's not POTUS, and kingmaker, he's probably worth more than 25¢, LOL.

                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                        He was one of the last big names to endorse her.

                        Also the article simply states that ‘Obama got her the vice presidential nod’. Ok. Evidence?

                        I’m surprised this is in Tablet, not the American “Thinker”.
