“reported that Jarrett was known in the White House as the ‘Night Stalker’ because of her access after hours to the Obamas in their private quarters.”
And what is the team being assembled to do? “Former President Barack Obama is reassembling his team to fight President Donald Trump and attack the policies issued from the White House. According to an exclusive report from The Daily Mail, a close Obama friend stated their goal is to ‘…oust Trump from the presidency either by forcing his resignation or through his impeachment.'”
Good luck with that. This bunch obviously has not figured out that President Trump is used to dealing with aggressive opponents – he’s done that throughout his career.
Clearly his team had planned to continue to have influence in national affairs after Mr. Obama left office. Their problem came in the form of Hillary Clinton’s shocking defeat at the hands of Donald Trump. “Immediately following Hillary Clinton’s historic loss, the staff throughout Obama’s eight years in office began to meet and plot their strategy. Politico reports that they were meeting in living rooms, hotel lobbies an bars in Washington, Chicago and New York. Fox News reports that the old team established a communications network among themselves by using social media platforms.”
Other plans are less grandiose than removing a president from office. They are going to work on redistricting to try to elect more Democrats, for example. “The Washington Post reports that one of the issues the group will support is redistricting efforts to boost Democratic candidates across the country through the National Democratic Redistricting Committee. Politico reported that former Obama supporters are refocusing their efforts at the state and local level while some are considering a run for office themselves while leaving others to fight in D.C. Some of the suggested battles with the new administration include: climate change, deportation and healthcare.”
They might have a bit more success with those lesser goals, although with Republicans controlling most of the governorships, redistricting efforts are not going to be easy.
Perhaps they should just focus their work on trying to find something Mr. Obama can use for a legacy so his presidency is not remembered primarily for the failure that it was.
